Hi Sue-
...... Sending out the frame and assembly hardware and securing the backing
and plexi locally.....Wow...... That's one of those "slap yourself on the
forehead and say 'Why didn't we think of that before' solutions". Had never
thought that about that as a solution for getting one of your frames for larger
paper. Glad to know that that is an option now!

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.

it seems to me that three sheets are getting less interest and not
increasing in value at the same speed as one sheets, inserts or half sheets.
sometimes, they are decreasing in value based upon the price searches of
Heritage and Emovieposter.
agree?
could it be due to the fact that most three sheets are on linen and
collectors are shying away from restoration?
could it be that approx. 9 inserts can be displayed on the same wall space?
in fact, it seems that the most three sheets being sold are at the Heritage
Signature Auctions........but often selling at less than the same title one
sheet (and even selling less than the same three sheet 5 years ago).
