Did you just happen have a frame that size lying around? What is it, a 26x38 print?

Looks like a 28x40. The print doesn't fully fill the frame.

My set up for The Thing frame job, pre-matte..... Somehow my Struzan variant went unsigned. I'm sure Mondo will make it right and get me a signed one. Until then, this is what it will look like before I get it to a framer.... I've been waiting a loooong time for all of these pieces to come together.... Does anyone else have a variant or reg that went unsigned?

Sure. It's just gonna be a big frame.

I have a 60x40 of Last Night at the Alamo that is hanging in the Alamo Ritz lobby that is coming my way. That will be way bigger than this one. A framer can do pretty much anything depending on the price.

Print is 26 x 38. 27 x 40 is a common frame size. I just mounted the print on the poster board that came with the frame.

Looks awesome in person!!

That is pretty Goddamn nuts. I had the same idea for my Stout regular and handbills (hooked someone up with them when I realized what I am about to say), but since I do my own framing and the largest lites Hobby Lobby sells is 30" x 40", framing for something like that I'm guessing would run roughly $400 on the low end and closer to $600.

Granted, it is still really early to tell, but that is already a very visible drop.

I think the variants especially will be pretty hard to come by in a few months, it seems most people want to get theirs in glass right away and will therefore probably not be trading/selling them very willingly. I think the amount of regs will cause the immediate price drop still think they will ultimately increase in value. Doesn't really matter to me since I am neither trading nor selling either of them.
