I guess we could. I'll post something I won, but haven't received yet. Anyone have an opinion about getting it graded? Will it grade with a number grade or just authentic? Which TPG is my best bet to get this oversized cabinet graded? Sorry for all the questions!

I wouldn't bother grading something like that. To me it's really cool in the old frame.

Or I'll ask the question another way.
Would this look better on my wall as-is or in one of those cheap plastic "floating" frames from Michaels?

If you like the modern frames better, grading might be the way to go.

I like the framing ok, but I worry about the acidity of the matting. Plus, I really don't plan on hanging it up anyway, so I will likely get it graded. But I appreciate your comments though.

I'm not seeing any matting. The cloth bit is inside the cardboard frame with a backing just the way stevengraphs were made. Looks like just a bit of paper tape holding it in the frame.

Either way it's a really cool thing.

Does anybody grade Stevensgraphs? I imagine it would be an "Authentic" if so...........as would most existing Stevensgraphs.
