Most experts will tell you that signing devalues most posters/collectables (Unless it is a single important signature or a group of very important ones). You hear this all the time on Antiques Road Show. Updated On: 2/5/08 at 02:02 PM
Maurice owns the company. Just PM him if you have any problems.
This is one of the most obvious shill threads in the history of BWW.
He joined just to post about this, and it's the only thread he posts in.

No, I don't own the company. If I did, I would have known about them discontinuing the hanger. Also, I didn't just join. I originally joined on 07/05/2007 and have a different profile under mjchinn7569. I was having difficulty updating information for my new e-mail information, so I just rejoined using this member name and haven't used the other since. Yes, I did have the link attached to my profile, but thought it looked stupid so I removed it. That's all...

Honestly I don't care if he gets a cut of each sale or what. I've been looking for a cheap place to get 14x22 frames forever and I had never before seen them for less than $20 each. So thank you Maurice for letting us know about this deal.
seriously, what a deal. I think I will be ordering some soon (Althought I said the same thing last week and now they're more expensive haha) and then I'm thinking about just getting 14 x 22 UV glass for the frames
I just (ordered on Saturday Feb 2) got 12 for $98 including the shipping.. thats @ $8 each... AMAZING! Unheard of really. I have @ 75 other framed window cards.. and they were at least $30 each to have framed.
Flaunt it ~ Some of us collect them for ourselves, NOT to resell somewhere. Ergo why would the monetary value of the poster matter? For me, if I like a show enough to get the window card, I'll get it signed for sentimental value. No plans to sell. My guess is there are a lot of people like that.

LIVE THAT LESSON!!!!!!
That's exactly the way I feel. I do not look as this as some sort of "investment" that I'll be selling on ebay one day. Each of these windowcards that I've purchased represent a show that meant something to me. It is my way to remember that show and what was special about it.

Those frames were great! my posters finally have a new home. Besides the fact that one of the pieces of glass broke in shipping, they worked out fantastic!

Well that could happen to anyone, that's not fully their fault, the only fault for them is how they package the frames.

Try reading the thread maybe? Several people, including myself, have replied that we received the frames with no trouble and that they worked great.
I just emailed the company asking when they will be back in stock and they got right back to me saying that they should be ready to order again on next Wednesday.
I also had good luck with them. My frames arrived and nothing was broken. They don't come with hanging hardware, which kind of sucks, but the notched corner pieces mean your nails don't have to be perfectly level.

I placed an order on April 24th. And have yet to recieve the frame. I have tried to contact the site several times. I got a call back last week from a Guy Named Rob who said they May ship out this past monday 5/19. I still have not gotten an email with the shipping info. I have sent an email and left a voicemail. But No Answer yet. So Far this has been an unpleasant experience.
Got my frames a month ago and one of the glasses was broken when the package arrived. Called Rob and he said we would refund my money for one frame. I paid 53.94 for 6 frames and he refunded me $2.99!! I don't even want to waste more of my time argue with him.
i suppose this depends on where you live, but I found that making my own frames (using store bought frame kits) is easier and cheaper in the long run than ordering them already put together. The kits themselves are like $15 for all four sides and the glass that I buy is 7 dollars. And if you buy adhesive foam core in big sheets, you won't have to run out and get more each time you get a new window card. Plus I somewhat like putting them together myself. Although it seems that buying from this site is cheaper, if it comes with defective products or the issues that some people are talking about, is it worth it? Just my $.02
