Sue is the reason I have my 3sheets in display. If it weren't for you, Sue they would be in a box.
Bless you!

I, myself, bought alot of 3 sheets in the early days not really knowing what I would do with them, but they were just so beautiful and large, sort of like the movies on the big screen were for me. The cost of framing them in a retail establishment is extremely high as most frame shops don't keep materials in stock for something oversize like this and when they special order those materials, the cost is very high. I didn't even frame one of my own 3 sheets until I opened my framing business in 1987. I couldn't afford it. You can frame them without linenbacking but they don't look as good. What you do is use some acid free artist tape to hinge the pieces together. You don't have to put the tape all the way across the seam, just at a few strategic places. Once it's in the frame, it's good to go and they become quite the conversation piece in your home or office. I routinely ship the unassembled frames for 3 sheets. Then I provide the information for the customer to get the plexiglass and acid free backing at wholesale in their own neck of the woods. Assembling the frame is a breeze. Most of you that order my regular frames know that already. You can save hundreds of dollars doing it yourself over having it custom framed in a retail shop. The cost of the complete custom frame from me is about $97 and comes with all the assembly hardware, hanging and stress wires ready to put together and hang up your 3 sheet. I use a bit thicker frame than Dave shows in his picture. He was just matching the Archival frame that he gets on all of his other items. The frame I use is about 5/8" wide and 1 1/4" on the side. Many of my customers here on the group will attest to the fact that it is a nice frame and better yet, it gets your 3 sheet on the wall instead of sitting in a box. Please feel free to call me to discuss your options. Even if you are handy and can make a wood frame yourself, please feel free to call me to give you the info you need for the UV filtered plexiglass (true view non glare is preferrred as Dave mentioned) and the Artcare conservation backing we use for value appreciating material.

It's from the "Quiet Man," which I consider to be John Wayne's best "non-Western" movie. (See image below.) We have 20-foot-high ceilings in the living room of our late-80s built home and the only reason it hasn't come down off the wall, rolled up and sold or consigned (like the other long-gone posters you see in this old image) - is because it's a pain to get on a ladder and take this seven-foot-tall-linen-backed-monster down and out of its frame. This poster, which I bought from Bruce in August 1999, still sits in a lovingly built custom-made frame built in November 1999 by the fabulous Sue Heim. I have sold off more valuable posters since the fires in our area in 2003 and 2007, but this one is still here because of the logistics of taking it down - and my knowing that it's no more than a mid-range poster, unlikely to fetch more than $400. I remember the back of the frame - it has supporting wires all over the place to keep this poster from moving around, sagging, etc. And as you can see in the picture, Sue is the best. That poster hasn't warped/rippled or sagged in the 10 years it's been up there. In hindsight, I should've had the poster framed with non-glare plexi. -d. ________________________________ Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2011 18:46:32 -0800 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: three sheets To: [email protected] I adore art deco. I would love to see Indiscreet and the clock. I have a Madame sans Jane 3 sh litho hanging on the wall at home. At the office is a huge Italian Barbarella which the gents like.

IS THIS ONE REASON WHY THREE SHEETS ARE NOT AS POPULAR AS THEY ONCE WERE? titles of one sheets seem to increase in val, while the same title of the 3 sheets seems to not increase in price. who many of you buy 3 sheets in the same way as an insert or half? mbb Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
