Re: [MOPO] three sheets / six sheets
Hello Neil and all, Well, six sheets are a bit of a different story. The problem is that plexiglass typically only comes 48x96 as a rule. You can obtain plexiglass larger than that but usually 60x100 is the top end and harder to get. When you get above that, around 81x81, it is much harder to locate and usually has to be special made. It is very costly to do that. Plus, the frame I use for 3 sheets, that is economical, is just not sturdy enough for a 6 sheet with the weight of the plexiglass, often the linenbacked poster and the backing. It will work if you are leaning it against a wall, which is what many of my customers do, but hanging it on the wall makes the frames legs bow just a bit. Some people wouldn't notice, but I am a bit crazy over non linear lines in a frame. You really need to have a wider, typically wood frame built and a back frame for support for a 6 sheet. Here in my area, it is well over $2500 to frame a 6 sheet correctly and that is why it is rare that people have them done. Not to mention, you have to have a pretty good size wall to hang it on. Since many houses have only 8' high ceilings, the leaning against a wall is not such a bad idea. Even if you hung the frame, it would be from floor to ceiling anyway. I have shipped the unassembled frame for 6 sheets before and the collector has found someone in their own area to get the plexiglass from and you can always piece two sheets of foamcore together for the backing since it comes in 48x96 sheets also. Remember, though, when you are getting plexiglass or acrylic at that size, there is no UV filtering involved. If you want it to be UV filtered and/or non glare (which I would highly recommend for something this size), they apply that process afterwards. The cost of the 6 sheet frame with all it's assembly hardware, hanging wires, and stress wires from me would be $145. The shipping varies, but I just shipped that size tube to someone in the midwest last week and the shipping was about $60. Remember, plain acrylic, which is what some customers settle for, typically has no filtering agents in it at all or very little. Indoor light such as tungsten, flourescent, incandessant and more recently halogen, can fade paper also. So, if using plain acrylic, I wouldn't suggest framing anything of great value. Since we don't have the lights in our homes on all the time, it would probably take awhile to notice any fading. The paper these old posters of our were printed on wasn't the greatest. So, that's the scoop. Take care all.

That's a kick. So, the more movie posters on the wall the better!! We've been enjoying your current 3 sheet frame job awaiting your pickup.

Some people wouldn't notice, but I am a bit crazy over non linear lines in a

frame a 6 sheet correctly and that is why it
is rare that people have them done. Not to mention, you have to have a pretty

Re: [MOPO] three sheets / six sheets
Good luck on that. I have customers in your area who can't even find a 27x41 and if they can, the cost is astronomical. That is why I ship so many frames, including yours, to the UK. Even with the shipping, the framing is way less.

Sue, that figure for everything excluding the UV plexi is ridiculously good. I will be ordering, at some point. I'm not absolutely sure a framed 6 sheet would go through my front door, so home assembly may be best, or only option. Neil, I have an estimate of framing 6 including the UV plexi, I'll dig it out and forward. It's not pleasant. Generally a nightmare getting anything framed in London. Either conservation framers which are extremely expensive, or the alternative at more reasonable cost, where despite being clear about conservation materials etc its pot luck whether your precious paper is in safe hands.

Re: [MOPO] three sheets / six sheets
Well Rich. That's a great idea. However, some people just aren't that handy. Also, you have to do some extra stuff when building oversize frames, especially a 6 sheet but even on your 40x60. Since wood frames are put together with glue and nails and not a metal corner bracket like a metal frame, you have to put an L bracket on the backside of each corner or over time the corners will split apart as the wood expands and contracts. When building a wood frame for a 6 sheet, if you are putting plexiglass in front, the actual wooden frame is sort of decoration. You have to build a back frame out of flat wood. So, say you have an exact 81x81, which they never are but for discussing purposes. You build the frame the size of the poster, plexiglass and foamcore. Then you build a back frame that is actually 81x81 from edge to edge so that it can sit inside the back of your frame. That is hinged or nailed to the real frame and then the hanging wire or hooks are put on it, so the load is on the back frame and not the actual frame. That makes it very sturdy. So, just a few tips. As always, anyone please feel free to call or email me anytime you are trying to frame something yourself or have any framing questions. I am happy to help you. Good luck.

Plus, the frame I use for 3 sheets, that is economical, is just not sturdy enough for a 6 sheet with the weight of the plexiglass, often the linenbacked poster and the backing. It will work if you are leaning it against a wall, which is what many of my customers do, but hanging it on the wall makes the frames legs bow just a bit. Some people wouldn't notice, but I am a bit crazy over non linear lines in a frame. You really need to have a wider, typically wood frame built and a back frame for support for a 6 sheet. Here in my area, it is well over $2500 to frame a 6 sheet correctly and that is why it is rare that people have them done. Not to mention, you have to have a pretty good size wall to hang it on. Since many houses have only 8' high ceilings, the leaning against a wall is not such a bad idea. Even if you hung the frame, it would be from floor to ceiling anyway. I have shipped the unassembled frame for 6 sheets before and the collector has found someone in their own area to get the plexiglass from and you can always piece two sheets of foamcore together for the backing since it comes in 48x96 sheets also. Remember, though, when you are getting plexiglass or acrylic at that size, there is no UV filtering involved. If you want it to be UV filtered and/or non glare (which I would highly recommend for something this size), they apply that process afterwards

Hey Toochis and all,
Trust me, it's the only reason I, myself, have any 3 sheets on the wall. I
remember going to a frame store in 1984 to frame my Gaslight 3 sheet and they
told me $1500. I nearly fainted. It wasn't even UV filtered plexiglass they
were offering, just a thin piece of acetate. So, it sat in an envelope. It was
really those early days of me trying to frame my own collection that got me
into this racket. I just started buying the materials and framing them myself,
which was still expensive because I wasn't buying in any quantity, I wasn't a
frame shop, I was just me trying to get my posters on the wall. It helps now
that I buy between 500 and 600 4'x8' sheets of the UV filtered plexiglass every
month. I've gotten the price down about as low as it can go and the plexiglass
is the most expensive component in the frame job.
What really thrills me is when I send a 3 sheet frame setup to someone
outside of California and they send me pictures of the finished product proudly
displayed on their wall and then tell me it's been a box for 30 years and,
since they couldn't afford to frame it, they would occasionally take it out of
the box to look at. That's a kick. So, the more movie posters on the wall the
better!!
We've been enjoying your current 3 sheet frame job awaiting your pickup.
All my designers that I do the framing for keep walking by it, it's hard
to pass by without seeing it, and
stopping to admire it. I told them it's not for sale!! See you soon and to all
out there, Happy Collecting.

Hello all,
Hey Dave that 3 sheet does still look pretty good. 3 Sheets have been a thorn
in the side of many collectors for years. 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

Re: [MOPO] three sheets
interesting thread.i suspect that even if there were cheaper ways to display
3sh/6sh, property prices require the next generations of poster collectors to
be living in ever smaller homes where displaying these posters is not practical
or desirable.
i'm not sure this is an area that is temporarily depressed and will come back
in a cycle, any more than i think the dance craze 'The Charleston' is going to
return. as bruce said, the wealthy collectors who grew up with this material -
the people to who these films meant something and who had the space to display
them - are dead. i'm not sure i can see that situation changing.
i say, put your money in window cards and smaller paper.

Re: [MOPO] THREE SHEETS
Wow, what a beautiful ceiling. I have received many a kraftbacked poster in my day to restore and frame. The kraft paper is so acidic that it just eats through the face of the poster. I have many customers that I have had them linenback their posters and then hang their 3 sheets and 6 sheets like a tapestry. It looks great that way. I wouldn't suggest it for really valuable items, but for something that is probably never going to be worth much, it is an inexpensive way of getting it on the wall.

Re: [MOPO] THREE SHEETS
From My experience three sheets much as thgey are loved and sometimes the art can work better on the bigger paper, it really comes down to wall space. If someone has a modest sized house and wants to display their movie poster treasures then a one sheet can be placed on a wall and not over power, where as a three sheet will fill the wall space and over power a room sometimes. I always found that a one sheet will fetch a higher price than a three sheet. 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 Auctionsbut often selling at less than the same title one sheet (and even selling less than the same three sheet 5 years ago). michael Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

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 would wager that the larger size and space required to display them (restored or not), is the cause of lesser interest to many collectors.
