Poster looks sharp in the frame. The white backdrop helps it pop.

Thanks, guys. Funny (possibly boring) story on the frame….I had planned on the ultimate el cheapo poster frame. On those, the little clip on edges are plastic. Cut the cheapo “plexi,” cut the back cardboard, snip the clip on edges and, voila, you have your new size. Michaels was out of those frames, even tho they said they had 3 in stock. I used a 40% off coupon and got this much nicer frame for the same money ($25). I was gonna cut the corners with a metal saw and reattach them with some flat L shaped things I found lying around (drilling required; no big deal). Then, I realized the plexi is glued to the frame and the back is actually masonite, not cardboard. In the end, I coulda done it but decided to leave as is. Maybe someday; maybe not.
