Posted: Sat Mar 28, 2009 3:21 pm Post subject: My Framed Card and Screen Used Memorabillia Collection |
|
|
I will start it off with a couple different pieces I have had done. I'm not posting these to brag or anything, someone mentioned I should post here and I thought it would maybe give some people some ideas about what they can do with all their non sports collectibles. I'll start it off with my favorite piece in my collection, the just 2 days ago finished Battlestar Galactica framed piece.
Measures 41x22 and the cards are matted into the canvas print I purchased online. I know there was a mistake made and a couple of the cards are out of order but oh well
Here is another framed piece I had finished not to long ago as well.
The cards are kept in snap tite holders and all the matte work is custom done by a local frame store who do a heck of a job. I will be sure to post more here in the next couple days. You'll notice that most of all the pieces I have done are fairly simply in the frame department which is how I wanted to keep it...when I started having them done I was still at home so I figured just staying neutral with a black theme would work no matter where I ended up. _________________

One more for tonight. Here is something I had a LONG time ago. It was massive, it pretty much took up an entire wall. I had it made after I think the ROTK Topps Set. It had (at the time) one autograph from every signer in all the topps LOTR Sets. The poster was a double sided 27x40 poster so you can get an idea for how big it was. I had posted it online a couple times and got a great offer on it well over what I had put into it, so I reluctantly sold it
However a couple years later the prices on all the LOTR autographs had come down pretty drasticly and I really wanted a LOTR piece for my collection so I decided to just go after the Fellowship autographs. Also inside the frame is a replica of the one ring

Very nice, i was thinking about doing the same with My Xmen Movie Autos and Memorabilia, did it cost a bundle to get it framed? _________________ Sketches

Incredible... most incredible...
I've seen some of Bryan's pieces before somewhere and it gave me an idea on how to display some cards of mine. _________________

Some of the pieces are, some of them aren't. The Battlestar was a little more costly because I went with UV archive glass because of the canvas print. They usualy cost around $100ish up to $250. Here is another framed piece for the harry potter fans. Very simple piece. However they did some quality Xacto knifework on the crest.
And one more for the day. This was actually the VERY FIRST framed thing i ever had done. When I was 14 I purchased my first ever box of Non Sports trading cards...a Tomb Raider Inkworks box. I completely beat the odds and pulled the costume card as well as an Angelina Jolie autograph. I remember flipping out but decided to sell the auto and buy more boxes of different stuff. Well, I wrote ms Jolie a letter in the mail with that photo (which at the time was my favorite photo of her) and within 10 days she sent it back signed. I guess there is no way to know if it is really signed by her, but if it isn't whoever else may have signed has her auto down perfectly

Great collection! Not only are the autographs themselves neat, but I love the mat displays that you've come up with. The designs definitely add to the attractiveness of each piece. _________________ OPEN for $15 bw or color PSC commissions. PM me

| Great stuff, I have seen the big lotr frame on the NSU site but it's nice to see the other framed collections. It's great to see these cards are on display and not hidden in some binder in a draw. |

Wow, what a stunning way to mount your collections! I did a few short stints in a framing shop some years ago - learned a bit about using cutters and exactos.... Flawlessly gorgeous work you've had done for you! Wonderful display to have in your house.....  _________________ www.rabidhorse.com
