Sideshow Premium Art Prints

UV glass museum mount framing from a professional place is expensive.

Do it yourself cheap option is obviously not $120 but you pay for what you get.

sure if you want an ikea quality frame...
Decent framing on a piece that size will cost $150 at a minimum at most places.

cause if its done badly id rather spend the cash for a professional to do it correctly to preserve the print.

also all the prints i ever had framed up i had non glare glass on them so if the glass/plastic is glossy you won't ever see it correctly.

I agree. Wish they'd give more details on the process. Hopefully they will reveal more info when the next round hits with QotD

Ordered Ivy. Even though I have the original normal skin tone EX, green for the print is fine with me. Looking forward to Catwoman and Quinn.

Psylocke is an interesting choice. I have the print that came with the Ex. Not sure about prints that were offered as EXs...to me it takes away from the Exclusive statue. Especially if they do this for statues where the only EX was a print.

I ordered both the kier (framed) and the poison ivy art prints

I wonder if they will fold them into little squares for shipping like the court of the dead poster : p

ya it is but going to a frame shop you can pick and choose your set up. i got my alvin lee rose street fighter original art framed, mounted, matte boarder and non glare glass for 200 so its well worth it in the long run for me.

I hope they make a batgirl print art and more COTD prints

Oh, I agree. Particularly when it comes to the type of glass being used.

so we start the cycle all over again. Right now it's $80 with ~200 ES. 6 months later, it will be $120 with 1000 ES. 12 month - $150 TBD ES. 24 months $200..and collectors give up.

I use all museum glass, now they have museum acrylic - the most expensive option oddly enough. I love the glass but I have found that if anything touches it you will never get it back to the way it was. Any finger print will just smear around. Many pieces I have almost look like someone sneezed on them with these little speckles of purple-ish reflection that I suspect is from dust.
