Poll question: Do I know when to fold them?
My new movie poster came today.

It's a RARE UK Quad size poster for "Death Becomes Her", (1992).

While the bottom edge is a bit jagged, this poster is (a) an original and (b) double-sided. Double-sided posters are worth more money and, apart from the NMSA trademark, the double-sided aspect is utter proof that the poster is an original.

But they only make 40x27" frames. Not 40x30".

Should I fold the bottom part of the poster, which is literally 3" of trailing space (no words, just an extention of the artwork that nobody'd miss)?

I did the same folding to my "The Living Daylights" UK Quad poster. It has 3" of nothing as well...

I'd have to get a custom frame made, which would be nearly $200 - never mind the cost to ship the frame!

2. get two sheets of glass or plexi
and clamp 'em together with the poster inside. It'll look chic and cost less. Most hardware stores will cut the material to spec.
