Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Received this huge 16 1/2&quot; X 21 1/2&quot; 1909 San Francisco Chronicle newpaper cover today, which should fit well above my PCL display case. <br><br><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1237304117.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> <br><br><br>It will look nice matted and framed. It is ,however, super thin. Anyone had experience with getting something this fragile framed?<br><br><br><br>Thanks in advance,<br><br><br><br>Patrick<br><br>

Posted By: <b>Frank Ceresi</b><p>Great piece. Make sure that a museum quality framer does the work for you. You want UV coated glass to protect it and a matting that will not sap the color. If you are interested, I am in the DC area and have a couple of real pros (do work for Smithsonian, Library of Congress etc), so call me at (703) 558 3699. I am actually looking for pre-1920 baseball related cartoon art as well.<br><br>Frank Ceresi

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Thanks for the responses gentlemen. <br><br>I plan on having a professional do the work on framing this piece. I have a beautiful period oak frame that I have been saving for just this occassion. <br><br>Here's the eBay auction:<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com.my/1802225S-COVER-ART-HERSHFIELD-Baseball-1909-MAGP_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ390032293710" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com.my/1802225S-COVER-ART-HERSHFIELD-Baseball-1909-MAGP_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ390032293710</a> <br><br>It's an actual huge newspaper from 1909 that was postmarked to Stanford University.<br><br>Thanks again,<br><br>Patrick<br><br><br>
