Framing Slabbed Autographs?
I have been trying all over to find frames that would accommodate the thickness of a slab and I have been unsuccessful. I put in the matting and the slab but once I put the backing on the frame just isn't deep enough. Has anyone had any success in framing slabs with matting? Any input would be greatly appreciated because I am at a loss and it seems the only other option would be to get all of them professionally framed.
Thanks, CJ

Although I have not had any slabbed items matted yet, my friend has and I have also had multiple matting plus thicker items like pins etc which do not fit a "normal" frame whether it has it's own backing or is open back. I think what a lot of professional framers do is use a soft paper backing which allows for the extra depth. Lets face it...the backing is mainly to keep the dust out and does not need to be solid. You could probably just have the backing done by a professional shop for pretty cheap. At least it might be worth a look.

One suggestion - take a hammer to the slab, remove autograph and place in frame.

I think you should slab the whole frame
 ...seriously though, a regular plastic protective sleeve works better. You can frame your pics just fine with those.Maybe use a frame that is a little deeper and just use a thin piece of cardboard or regular brown paper to hold it into place. Glue it if you have to. For that matter, you don't even need a back. The pic is protected. Jam a thumbtack or a sharp object into the frame to hold the slab. You should be able to make it work. Good Luck

not sure if this is what you meant but I got this frame at a local Jeffrey Alans. With matting it was$75 which isnt too bad. Got two graded cards in it.
