I know you don't have a ton of money. so here's what I did.....head to Target, or wherever, buy some cheap framed 8 x 10" "art", remove the "art" and use the frame, mat and glass for YOUR 8 x 10" Or SAA with whatever size works.

Thanks Mike and Mike.
I have aso done what Rob suggests. It is a easy way to do it for sure. The way I did it is also pretty easy if you just take your time to plan it out before you cut anything. I will measure and draw it out on scrap paper before cutting and the draw the cut lines on the mat board fully before cutting out any holes. It's a little time consuming, but I found it relaxing. Most of my frames were purchased at Ollie's bargain outlet and Kmart. All the ones like the Johnson are 14x18 and were purchased at Kmart at $17 per.

I posted this in the pickup section, but juat did a quick frame job on it. Went with an old looking frame and a simple single mat. I am considering changing to a red/blue double mat at some point, but do like this so far.

The Rangers were referred to as "The Blueshirts" after all, so your choice of just solid blue works perfectly. If you did want to add red, maybe just some thin piping around the image or frame? Great piece! Brent |

Beautiful Collins (both framing and autograph) Mark! I was soooooo close to pulling the trigger on that one, but hopefully another nice one will come up later in the year.

Thanks for reviving this thread!
About 15 years ago I framed a couple of TV western stars and their autographs. FYI they are Gail Davis (Annie Oakley) and Will Hutchins (Sugar Foot). I liked the results so much that last fall I bought several baseball magazine ads, framing them, without autographs. I do have a small page from a sports magazine depicting Chas Gahringer. I picked up his autograph a couple of weeks ago. I can't wait until I mat and frame them. I'll try to remember to post them when I finish.

there really is no secret. You need to decide if you want to reveal the whole slab or just the auto and cut the mat to the needed size opening. Behind the mat you can either tape the slab to the mat or cut out a piece of foam board to hold the slab in the correct position. try it and see what works best for the situation.

Has anyone used Hobby Lobby or others to matt and frame your items ? Do you only take the item in for sizing or do you ever leave an item at the framing place ? I need to frame and have never had anything framed before. Like Perez-Steele postcards in PSA holders etc. Thanks

At one time Michaels was reasonable. The one near us had a heat vacuum press and they mounted some posters on foam core for us.

I'm afraid if one doesn't have access to a chopper, mat cutter, underpinner, tools and materials a frame shop is their only option.

Putting together the frame itself should really not be that hard either. I think whether or not the investment in tools is worrh to you depends on how many items you need to frame. The more frames you are going to, the more the cost is justified and the more one should be willing to invest in them. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Once you have the finished mat, frame, glass, foamcore backing and wire, you can simply take the materials home and go to town. Most are very easy to assemble and you'll save tons of money doing so. All of these were DIY jobs which saved thousands of dollars, cumulatively... |

Correct, very satisfying when you finish one.
Many framing supply offer cut service or even will assemble a frame. It's all about priorities.

No, the straw hat cannot be tied to Connie Mack, although it is the exact type that he wore. I had won the 1910 Athletics Hat Band in a Hunt Auction. I just couldn't find the right way to display it that would do it justice. Those Hat Bands are expensive in the rare event one surfaces, so I wanted to do it right. I started searching for straw hats, and had to weed through a few hundred before finally finding that one. Junky kitsch souvenir hats and others in tattered condition were all I could find until this one popped up. The quality is off the charts, the all-silk inner lining is like new, it's in near-perfect condition, and the White Elephant Hat Band fits it to perfection. Sorry to ramble, but it was a big score at the time! Ok, back to the topic of framing.... Mike, great minds think alike! I usually draw out a template for them to emulate as well. I guess I should have invested in a mat cutter like Mark, but never took the plunge. It probably would've paid for itself after 5 uses! |

Great stuff guys, love seeing your framed pieces! Over the last year I went the custom framing route and the results were awesome but quite expensive (had to move a few cards to help pay for this venture!) I had 10 pieces custom framed with the same frame and museum glass by a great framer just down the street from my house. Price wise in Canadian dollars they range anywhere from $250 to $400 each. The Barkley was another story, that piece was $800 because it was so labour intensive, but it's my pride and joy so it was worth it to me. I wanted my office to be my own little art gallery!

About 10 years ago we had Michaels heat vacuum mount 5 Shrimp Festival posters onto foam core. These aren't something "rare or scarce". All 5 turned out great and it was much easier mounting them in a frame than it would have been otherwise.

Framing
Here are the two that go me started with framing pics with autographs.
I'll probably start my Chas Gehringer project later this week. My apologies for the non-baseball pics. One more thing, if anyone lives near me and needs mats cut or molding cut I would be willing to help. Gail Davis.jpg Will Hutchins.jpg

Great job Bruce.
Not sure if you have an Ollie's outlet near you, but i have found them to have great deals on frames from time to time. Its kind of hit or miss depending on their stick, but can be great. I've gotten some really quality frames cheap there. It's not ness a good option if you everything to match, though. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Thanks Bruce! I don't know if any of you have had a jersey framed before but that's a process best left to a professional with years of experience. I saw some of the framing process for my Barkley and it is was real interesting. Jersey has a stiff template that was cut to size and inserted inside the jersey that keeps it real flat and stops the front logos from showing through. Then the jersey is stitched through the small holes in the jersey through to the black background. Same process for the plaque, but the plaque also has two screws in the bottom that don't go through the jersey. Frame is a shadowbox, my framer cut six layers of black foam core to put under the matting to raise it up. Took almost two months to get it back from him!
