Thanks everyone for the replies. I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up a few cheap frames for my first frame project (not sports related). My fiancee, being the smart woman that she is, told me to get a cheap frame, and put black paper behind it instead of paying $14 per frame to have them make a mat.
I'm running out of space in the Man Cave, but next up are a few Cleveland Indians newspapers, and a custom frame that I will probably have Hobby Lobby do for the 2016 World Series run the Indians made (tickets from ALDS Game 1, ALCS, and World Series Game 1, a rally towel, and a picture of my fiancee and I at the World Series). Thank you all for the suggestions.

You also might want to give framing and matting yourself a try. Here is a thread I started a while back with some of my own stuff. Others added their efforts to it. It's quite fun and easy
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=168495 Also, Hobby Lobby has a perpetual coupon for 40% off any one item. You can use it every day if you wish. The current one is on their website, but looks like this. ![]()

Hobby Lobby's 40 percent couple is really cool. I put their app on my phone and the cashier just scans the photo off my phone to get the discount. Well worth it.

Aaron Bros. has the same ongoing coupon, scannable from any cell phone.
But theirs is 50%. Both are great resources! |

This is not an uncommon coupon from Michael's

I'm here in Central Ohio, and usually do a big framing group once a year. Have used Michael's for the last several years, with great results.
If you can be a bit patient, I'd suggest waiting for their 70% off sales to get the very best deal. You can sign up for their mailings or emails to know when it hits. Thing I've been most impressed with is their trained framing consultants, who have a great eye for matting and frame selection. They've come up with some unexpected and great choices for me! Bad pic, but see below for some of their most recent handiwork: IMG_3712.jpg
