Anyone that does framing of sportscards and memorabilia?

I have a ton of stuff I want to get customized framing that I don't have to pay
a fortune for. Anyone have anybody they know that does specialty stuff at a
reasonable price that knows how to handle stuff in the proper manner?

Thanks in advance!

You need to be more specific as to what you are making. Are we talking 1-2 holes per or many holes? Are the holes for slabs, cards? Do you need 20 of the same item or is each one different hole size or mat size?

I found a local non-chain frame shop that is much faster and cheaper than Michaels or Total Crafts.
It helps to have exactly what you want already planned. If they have to organize the item layout it will cost more. Also, try to set up your pieces to generic sizes 16x20, 20x24, etc, that way you can buy premade frames with glass. That will save lots of money.

These were less than $100 each since I did the dimensions myself and bought premade frames from the chainstore

even with their constant 40% off sales they are quite the ripoff

I have something that I would like to get framed. I have signed index cards from Jimmy Stewart, June Allyson, and pitcher Monty Stratton. My favorite movie growing up was the Stratton Story. I also have an original photograph from the movie.

Look around for local non-chain stores. Chains will charge 3x + what a mom and pops will (while in my opinion being less skilled and less careful since they have little incentive to promote a shop the don't own). If you live anywhere near MA I can refer you to a great place. I got a 16x20 UDA photo framed for $100; non-reflective glass, double matted, all archival.

Hard to see the quality of the framing in the small pic, but it's much better than what you would get from UDA.

Kurtwood Smith, he played the father. Calling the kids Dumbass was one of this favorite things to say. So I asked him to sign that for me.
I also got this one for my wife

Probably the guy who played the Dad; that was his catchphrase on the show.
