Anyone Have Memorabilia Room Pictures to Share?

Wow!! Great stuff. Where do you get your frames for your pennants from?

That's a great question, and is getting much tougher to answer...

I always use the sectional frames that you put together yourself. Then you just have to cut the mat/glass/backing to the same size. It saves about $250 - $300 per framing job.... leaving lots more money for new pennants

In the past, these were available at Aaron Bros, Michael's, Ben Franklin, Value Craft, and even Joanne Fabrics. I think all of them have now discontinued these sectional frames. I was told they weren't great sellers. It's either that, or perhaps they just prefer to ream you for custom framing.

Maybe try Hobby Lobby.... they're not readily available to me (here in the NW), but perhaps there's one near you, that you can check out.

If that fails, you can try Amazon. Good luck!

Mark - first, good Luck with the move. Why the need to move and where is all this wonderful stuff headed? I hope you are able to display it all again soon.

Thanks Joe!

Time (and space) will dictate what stays and what goes... still a conundrum.

I'm getting married in late Feb, and consolidating to one household. When the collection is back up to par and on display, I'll send you some images for your wonderful Collector's Website.

Will try to retain just the best stuff. As a fellow collector/forum member/friend reminded me today... Less is more! I have preached it many times.... just haven't yet figured out how to practice it

Thanks Mark. I'm going to have to check out Hobby Lobby, there are 2 within a 30 mile radius of me. Hopefully I can find them bc they are really nice.

Well you could treat it like a museum, keeping some on display and some boxed up, rotating exhibits periodically.

My tastes have changed over the last two or three years as evidenced

It's been over a year, but I've always bought all my metal sectional frames online from 'American Frame' in Ohio. I also get all my plexiglass and backer boards from them as well. I never had a bad experience in over a dozen orders. At the time, the prices were much cheaper than going to a local art store like Hobby Lobby or Michaels, but I haven't checked prices lately. Hope this helps.
