OBC FOLLIES poster framing Q?

Question for those who have framed extremely delicate, disintegrating 40 year old thin paper posters. I found a gigantic black metal frame and perfect condition plexiglass at an apt, sale for $10!. My OBC FOLLIES poster is 24 x 36. It has been framed several times over the last 40 yrs, however, now it needs permanent archival mount. tHE metal frame IS 30 X 40. I would like to have a mattboard cut, either in that orangey color (of the poster, or black. I am bringing the poster tomorrow to a nabe framing place. The poster itself is not valuable (it cost me 3.00 in 1971), except that Mr. Sondheim finally personally signed it 10 yrs ago. What kind of price should I negotiate on this, since I have the frame already? I have NO IDEA. It's very ripped and deteriorated and needs TLC. (Steve actually liked the deteriorated nature of it - "just like the play"...)

Thanks for any advice. ~tiny.

Oh great idea. I forgot about TRITON. Is it still on 45th ST?

How are Triton's framing prices? I have an original Thoroughly Modern Millie three sheet from the movie that I'd love to have mounted and framed (plexi, cause it's big). Any ideas what they run?

I figure since it's their specialty, they're the ones I want to do the framing.

Thanks everybody. Brought the poster to Triton today. I
m sure it's gonna be fabulous. Only 100.00, cause I found my own 10.00 huge frame...yay!
