Perso I would go for two thin plexiglass, with mylar corners or special Lineco tape for glossy paper to hold the sheets.  And tie bolts to tie the sheet together.

Taken from Kirby's FB page.

Pretty fantastic frame, if you ask me:

This reminds me, once I finally got some large foamcore backer for our Some Like it Hot 6-sheet and blue-taped it the foamcore that pretty much eliminated all the sag in the front two pieces of plexi.
I am still looking for a large single piece of plexi for the frame (just very difficult to find in this area), but the poster looks great.

Well you could just go to a hardware store, buy molding and use that to hold the poster in place. It would be cheap and look nicer than push pins.
I don't have any experience with this so if my suggestion will cause issues with the poster let me know.

But before a 6sh can be hung inexpensively or not, and if it isnt linen backed, archival tape could be the solution to assembling the sections together. Has anyone used this method? And does the tape hold in the long run?

The last thing anyone would want is to wake up one morning and see that the tape has let loose and half the poster has dropped to the floor!   Doh.gif crying
