There are quite a few arcade posters on eBay right now. Tron, Joust, Journey, and some others. Do a search for "arcade poster" and check it out.

Nice!
I have a Star Wars arcade one I've been meaning to either frame or Ebay.

Framing costs make me think I might be in the wrong line of work. It cost me $400 to frame a $30 Dragon's Lair poster. I went the archival route, UV non-reflective plexi, black matte, stainless 4-inch frame. It's covering up an unsightly electrical panel.

By the way, I'll give you $5 for the Star Wars poster.  8)

You appear to have been charged what it costs to frame a $5000 painting.

Actually that sounds about right from what I can tell, if you don't hit a sale. Michael's typically runs a 50% off sale every couple of weeks...

Yeah no joke...I bought 4 Norman Rockwell pics from an antique store, $5/ea.  It cost me $600 to get them framed the way I wanted...good lord.  And that place was cheaper than Michaels even w/their 50% off special!  Forget building cabs I'm gonna start a framing business!

btw the arcade posters on ebay are cool thanks for the tip!   8)

For that price, you could have put the poster in a cheap plastic frame (which I did with my $30 Dragon's Lair and Space Ace posters) and had the windows in your room UV tinted (which I also did, but not to protect the posters).

You're being charged CUSTOM FRAMING costs.  That's the problem. If you buy a standard size POSTER, then go for a pre-made standard size FRAME.
