Jersey frames
I recently purchased an autographed jersey which I would like to frame and display. I was going to go to the local Michaels Crafts but then I came across sites like Ultra Mount Displays and All Authentic Frames.
Does anyone have experience with either company or have advice for getting a jersey framed without going broke? I'd like something simple, like the frame pictured below.

Really, no one owns a framed jersey?

I'm afraid I don't, but I'm dying to know whose jersey you bought.

I had my Emmitt Smith jersey framed with a picture by a collectible shop. It cost $300, but was a gift to me since I had the jersey just hanging in the closet for a long time. It looks really good and I'm glad it is framed now. I don't know how much those other places would charge.
Sorry for the crappy photo, I used my Iphone and there was a lot of glare, but you get the idea. It has the logo, a metal plate with "Emmitt Smith Hall of Fame Dallas Cowboys" and a photo.

That looks great. That's the kind of frame that I want. It's very simple and compliments the colors of the jersey well. I thought it would cost around $200-250 but I'm going to go into Michaels to play around with different options (glass, mattes) and see how they quote me.

He's a great player already. FWIW I bought the Altoona Curve jersey from the '09 Just Minors series. Just Minors was a great company for autographed minors stuff but I guess they were bought out and this is their last year around. I picked up a Jake Peavy ball and a Grady Sizemore photo while both were in the minors. They're great.

I have a nice Drazen Petrovic jersey with a signed basketball card of his I've always wanted to frame, I just never thought it was worth the money. Maybe when I buy a house and the fiancee/wife puts the screws in me - hang it up or throw it out, I suspect I'll be getting alot of that when moving. [/getting married rant over]
