How would you display an uncut sheet?

I have a beautiful 1975 topps sheet that has been hiding in my closet for about 2 years now that I would really like to get framed. The problem is that it is huge! and heavy! Does anyone have one that is framed? What can I do with it? Should I fork out $300+ to get it framed or just leave it in the closet, does anyone have one displayed.
Thanks,
Jason

    Sorry for the fuzzy pic. It was taken on my phone, I didn't want to wake anyone up grabbing the camera.

    I can't imagine a more beautiful set to have in uncut form. I would love to get it framed but it doesn't seem practical. BTW the stickers on the top right corner are not on the sheet but a GIANT toploader.

    You might check with board member Griffin(s) He has a lot of uncut sheets and may have some framing/display ideas. Nice sheet.

    That is a beautiful sheet! It is interesting how all the same color is in a East to West row. For some reason I always thought it was in a North to South row.

    Any big names on your sheet?

We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    why is a frame impractical? that's what I did... Ikea has cheap oversize frames.

    EDIT: Just checked the size of my sheet and it's 9 across the top and 10 down, so a lot smaller. I have seen some very nice custom frames before though. Go to a custom glass shop, get two pieces of glass, sandwich the card sheet between and do a small locking wood boarder to hold the glass together, it looks really cool and you can flip it around to read the backs of the cards if you get bored.

    Ryan, Rose, Reggie, and Palmer are on that sheet. Would look sweet in a frame.

    I searched for other uncut sheets on photobucket and found this beauty: a framed 1960 Fleer football uncut sheet.

    The oversized toploaders are not archival safe. No matter what you do, I recommend picking up a giant sleeve for protection.

    That would look great in a nice frame.

    No need to frame something like that, it's just silly. Use these....

    Just kidding of course, but if you do have it framed don't pick it up on a windy day, you might go for a little trip.

    Here is a frame I have. I had it done for a couple hundred.
