Looks beautiful, Scott....

A classy and visually stunning job. A quick question....

How did you adhere the two tickets to the red matting? I'm always curious how people do this without compromising the pieces themselves.

Thanks and congrats!

Hi Mark,
Thanks & hope you are well.
Good question.
No adhesives & all materials used are archival.
The framer wedges the ticket between plastic and the red matting.
They could potentially be shaken loose, but no chance of that because they are already hanging.

Scott - the frame, the big auto, the tickets. Everything about the piece came out fantastic.

In my humble opinion, you gotta have a barnstorming program somewhere nearby that ticket. (Not offering up this one lol, but they aren't particularly rare. If interested, I know a board member who has one you could potentially work a deal for.)

There are people with rare items, and there are people that have nice framed pieces, but it's rare to see both come together in a single item.

Well done!

Thanks to everyone that posted with such positive responses to the Satchel framing project.

Like all items that get framed around here, it was a labor of love.
I'm sure most or all of you can relate to having a limited amount of wall space to dedicate to items that are framed. I tend to put only the projects that move me the most in frames that go into my personal office.
Each one is special for a particular reason and this Satch is no exception.

Jeff, I would love to display the Bob Feller Barnstorming program that you shared next to the Satchel piece, but unfortunately no room to do so....

I can relate, Scott...

Ever since I ran out of wall space, I have to really scrutinize whether it's worth it to even consider adding a new piece. If something new comes into the collection, something else has gotta go. So the new piece had better be something special (just like your Paige ensemble).

Looks terrific Scott!
