Framing choice for my big pickup at the 2013 National

[Scott Garner]

Thought I'd share what I came up with when it came to displaying my circa 1938 Johnny Vander Meer pennant that I picked up at this year's National.

I chose to frame it using a cherry wood shadowbox minimal frame, red linen-like backboard and museum quality UV glass (non-glare). The pennant was carefully stitched into the backboard with nearly invisible thread.

Here are the before and after photos. I hope you dig it!

Penn and Teller's invisible thread?

Ben,
Thanks!
Believe it or not, the walls are actually kind of mustard/beige in color. They just look white in this photo for some reason. This photo of the Kreindler painting gives you a better look at the true color of the walls.

About the thread, what I meant to say is that you cannot see the thread even on close inspection, FWIW. Doh!

Invisible thread is actually a pretty good trick though....

I think the display looks great. I especially like the color choice; very classy. I can dig it...

Frame job looks great.
Awesome pennant.
Scott, did you know this existed prior to the National? You must have been psyched to see it.
