Framed collectibles involving broken glass question?

[Jay Wolt]

Bobby pay a bit extra & get UV coated glass, if not the sigs may fade over time especially in a well lit room

This.

Such a cool piece it would be a shoot not have it hanging. And the UV resistant glass is a good investment

I vote to get yours done, Bobby.
When I received this quite large, approximately 28" x 27" in total, Horner Composite the glass was broken into lots of pieces. My heart sank but fortunately the photo was spared. I had the best UV glass I could find, put in from a higher end art seller with a retail shop, that does framing too. Worth every penny and more and wasn't expensive anyway.
(not a very good picture of it)

Have Clean Sweep file an insurance claim on your behalf. If it was damaged in shipping it should be the auction house's responsibility to make it right.

Most auction houses have a disclaimer about not being responsible for frames/glass.

Framed items without glass fine. It's a matter of protection.

This ^^^ ....what a cool piece Leon. I decided to get it re-glassed. The price I was quoted was WAYYYYYYYY less than what I was expecting. (Under $70)...and that is with UV glass.

Since you're going to keep it and have it on display, definitely get it re-glassed but make sure it's a good UV glass. Best thing to do is to look on the internet for some local framers. A lot of times you find a mom and pop place that gets great reviews and will do the work for a reasonable cost.

I use a local art house. They tend to be wayyyy cheaper than chains like Michael's.

Do what Jay said up there about uv glass... but it'll be much more not a bit more. You want archival protection, otherwise your mancave light will eventually bleach those cards, the ink will fade.
