I think 6-sheets are awesome especially with cool artwork. I have a huge
Italian Barbarella that was restored by Susan Olson and framed by Sue Heim. It
was a pain delivering and hanging it. It's in our office and I can't tell you
how many people go ga-ga over it.

OF COURSE 3 SHEETS ARE IMPRESSIVE.
BUT IMAGE WALKING INTO SOMEONE'S HOUSE AND SEEING A FRAMED 6 SHEET OR EVEN
BIGGER???
yikes!!!!
how do people frame those?
i know some people hang three sheets without frame, but the black border adds
to much prominence to the poster. when i first starting collecting, i would
buy a one sheet, hate it until it was ramed. just a simple frame. but it adds
so much.

Thank you Toochis.
Yes, I do frame 3 sheets for wholesale cost to other collectors. A full
archival museum frame for a 3 sheet is $299 at my shop. We do about 3-5 of them
a week. As a movie poster collector myself, it is always fun to see what
other's collect and boy do they look great when they are ready to hang on the
wall. Any southern California customers can contact me directly. I have
customers who come from Arizona, Nevada, and northern California to pick up
their frames. I even had one customer who drove out from Florida for vacation
and took home all his frames for 40x60's and 41x81's. I appreciate the
confidence.
The problem is the frame is too large to ship assembled, so what I do now
is send the customer the custom cut frame and assembly hardware. Then they call
me and I help them locate the UV filtered plexiglass and acid free Artcare
backing, in their own hometown. to complete the frame. You can save hundred's
of dollars doing it yourself and it is really very easy to assemble. So, feel
free to call me with any questions. I am actually shipping out two oversize
frames today. Thanks.

I'm so lucky to be driving distance from Sue Heim so I don't worry about
framing 3-sheets. I have also had some great linenbacking from Sylvia and
Susan Olson. I'm thrilled I can now find deals on 3-sheets. However, I've not
found bargains on the ones I want.

Outside of Heritage and emovieposter most 3-sheets are not linenbacked. The
vast majority are unbacked. Meaning if they are going to be displayed they must
be backed, restoration or not. That adds to their ultimate cost.
Second, they're very expensive to frame.
Third, you need a lot of wallspace to display them, specifically high ceilings.
Thus, unless they're rare and/or for very highly sought-after titles, they're
not as desirable as smaller formats, especially 1-sheets.
And with things being financially tighter for most collectors right now, I
think they'd rather hold out for the 1-sheet than purchase a 3-sheet they might
not even be able to enjoy.
