Cheap way to get a jersey framed?

jpitten · 04-25-2012, 10:29 AM

I got my Bryce Harper authentic jersey signed last week and I was wondering if there's an affordable way to get it framed myself. I don't want to take it somewhere to get framed because it'll be mucho expensive and I'm trying to avoid the jersey frame because those are expensive too. Any cheap way that anyone found??

Hanger and a nail on the wall.

All kidding aside, like someone else said, Hobby Lobby

If you go to Hobby Lobby be prepared to spend $300+. I had a Suh Husker Jersey Framed that he had worn in the Big 12 Championship game against Texas. I went with a very customized frame but it cost me $450.00

jrnelson · 04-25-2012, 11:08 AM

Did these all myself, frame cost around $30 (Michael's with coupon), 8x10 print it off yourself $1, so for around $31 not to bad. Not as nice as spending $300+ but it does the trick.

I found a guy on ebay, paid around $60-70 or so for my frames, I really like them, nice quality, real wood

get in touch with this guy

Weiketrade - Wholesale & Retail Cheap NFL Sports Jerseys - Quality Guarantee

i used to buy from this site

How to Order: All payments are done on the site. Jersey takes about 1 week to arrive.

Personal Notes: Used to be fantastic-goods.com. A few months ago, it had a much wider selection (Coles, Favre, Namath, Cotchery, Jones). I used it to pick up a white Coles jersey last year. I can vouch for the quality, but it seems like this site hasn't been updated since switching to the yoyo domain.

By just seeing the thread title and without even reading the OPs full question, I knew the correct answer right away:

Buy the cheapest weed you can find...preferably 4+ ounces...Put in a baggie in his car, and call the cops. EZ game.

good idea

I go the Michaels route. If you look at Sunday's paper they usually have discounts on framing. Be careful though, sometimes the discount will ONLY be on framing, or matting. If you time it right, you can get BOTH discounted.

+1 cant agree more

You can try this site. I called them once and the lady explained allot ot me over the phone. You are gonna wanna make sure the glass offers UV protection so the jersey and auto does not fade. Expect to pay around $100 but it is worth it getting the better frame then having your jersey and auto fade over time. I went to Michales before and even with the 50% off coupon it still would have cost me over $200. Good luck and let us know what option you go!

i understand its cheap, but the wrinkles in those jerseys looks horrible... you have to put foam board inside jersey to stretch it out then put straight pins to hold in place... if you want the proper type frame, check out this site..its the least expensive ive found, and u have choice of frame color, matting, etc, all included... look on youtube for vids on how to frame a jersey..done for a little over $100...

This has nothing to do with Obama or Romney. This has to do with a company suing the government defending their VERY VERY VERY pro-life stance.
