Getting one professionally framed can get pretty pricey depending on what you want. After an acid-free mat, floating mat to keep the litho off the glass (to prevent damage over time), and coated uv glass, it came to around $170.00 and a two week wait... more than I would value the litho at, but mine has special meaning for me... My gf and I have known each other for about 25 years and we were friends going back to our High School days. We drifted apart when I moved away from town to go to college and start a career. We didn't date back then even though we apparently had secret crushes on each other, but we decided to date now when our paths crossed again and we realized we were both unattached and would be a perfect couple. Incredible chemistry also helped. The concert was our first official date (we both love GNR going back to those same High School days) and the lithograph we picked up and she protected for the entire 4 hours because she knew I really really wanted it kind of makes it extra special for us... well worth the $170.00 to have it professionally done. Sorry for the long response, but I guess what I am saying is that it is all up to you. Monetarily a simple $20-$50 frame will suffice as some have suggested, but having one professionally framed could surprise you and more than triple that cost. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogmug Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I still have a Vegas night one poster up for trade if anyone is interested. I decided against trading for the Pittsburgh one..would love to have the Nashville litho since I was there and couldn't find one anywhere.

Tourettes2400 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Damn, I am killing my self over not buying the Nashville one now. I saw them at 3 or more places when I got there but didn't want to take it in the pit. I am going to have to get a lithograph of some kind soon. I don't really even care from which show as long as it looks cool. Edited August 3, 2016 by Tourettes2400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree its worth the professional mounting if it means that much to you. Im in FL and I plan on taking my Orlando Litho to my local Michaels. They have done work for me in the past, and its been exceptional. I bought an extra Orlando one if anyone is interested in a trade .. I really want one from the 7/3 show in Chicago Edited August 3, 2016 by racerxfl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that was is super popular and I'd be willing to add some cash to sweeten the deal. or, would have interest in trading that one New Orleans for both lithos from Foxboro. Let me know!

For New Orleans, I purchased my litho inside / after entering the Superdome. The merch truck outside was already sold out when we arrived, but the inside merch stands had them.

uzi your illusion Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I have an extra for metlife night one and night two. The neon gnr logo electrified and the jersey devil print. I'd trade both for one Cincinnati one. PM me if you're interested in trading for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MetLife night 1 litho is WAY underrated in my opinion. Once it's open, the colored sparkles in the logo look fantastic. Underdog in my opinion!!!

I think a lot of it is because at first I thought the shoulder on the right was a fist shoving a bone into the thing's mouth. I looked closer and I know that it is a shoulder and the other side of the Arlington ribbon, but I can't unsee a fist and a bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can does it still run the risk of sticking in humidity? There will be no way to get the original off of the mount. I have not seen humidity related issues in my experience but I cannot say for sure. The original is permanently mounted to the plaque so I guess it does ruin it in that sense. I think it enhances it and looks amazing hanging on the wall with no frame, just the picture. If you plan to resell in the future it is a non-starter but if you want to keep it for life and give it a really nice look on the wall it is in my opinion the best option.

This was my least favorite design and those super wide left/right margins are distracting. Not very original and poorly adapted. Some of the show art has been amazing, but it says something when it is executed better on the T-Shirt than the Litho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
