Hi Eric,

Most of the three sheets I have are 1940s and older and are on linen. On loose three sheets, I personally put archival pressure tape to temporarily attach the sheets. Okie

Thanks, that makes sense. I have only used archival tape to prevent further separation on folds, but that makes total sense for displaying posters in multiple sections.

Is Robert still around? Wondering what the promo code is for APF member VIP discounts...

If you don't want to advertise it, PM me!

I love Spotlight Displays!
I wouldn't trust my posters with anyone else!
My first attempt at getting stuff framed was with Michael's - it was overpriced and didn't age too well and damaged too easily. Looked fine at the time - but I regret destroying my collectible artwork with them. For a time I settled for the cheap Wal-Mart frames for my Shout Factory posters - they fall apart very easily and I obviously wouldn't want my vintage posters displayed in them.

I shopped around a bit when I first started getting into the movie poster hobby - and found Spotlight Displays. I ordered one standard frame to test things out and I loved it! I used it for my "Where The Boys Are '84" poster for a while. Since then, I've been able to easily swap out posters and the frame is still going strong and displays beautifully!

I'm currently waiting on a few more frames I ordered so I can complete my Slumber Party Massacre Wall. I'm really excited about getting them and will definitely be ordering more from them in the future!

Looks great ^

SD remains the best way to effectively frame and display your stuff...the price is right and solves the issue with entombing paper in a frame situation forever.

Has anyone ordered a custom sized front loading frame from them recently? I emailed and called a couple weeks ago and messaged on FB this week, but still haven't heard back.

Very sorry Blair! I just messaged you on FB and then saw an email from APF stating I had a post to respond to here. I have been having issues with emails going to

ever since I switched over the MS Exchange. It’s driving me nuts! I will look for your email and respond.

We are still here and my cutter is operational! Thank you!!!

I wish SD would ship to Australia, they seem convenient to disassemble and thus not take up much space when not in use. Though I am more into large frames and similar cant be found at size in Australia. eg anything bigger than 1 sheet

Hey buddy, the problem is the shipping cost. We will ship to Australia but for one frame the shipping is more than the cost of the average sized frame. And now probably really crazy. Maybe if you had others from your area go in on some frames.

I'm going to be getting my last set of frames from Spotlight Displays within the next few weeks before my big move next year! With this, my walls will be mostly covered by some of my favorite posters thanks to these great frames that have held up amazingly over the years! Will get some pictures of where they all end up when I get the chance!
I'd order more but I can only take so much with me on such a long trip! As soon as I settle down in my more (hopefully) permanent living situation I'll definitely be getting more! These have been so easy and convenient to work with and allowed for poster swapping when needed!

I got like 10 SD and love them. Got a question, if I want do put a wire on the back to hang them. I am putting up the ones for my hall and I already have nails in the wall. I was just wondering

pcarnette · « **Reply #213 on:** June 27, 2023, 10:08:55 AM »

I'm amassing "low-cost" Star Trek 1 sheets left and right, and now I need something to put them in.

I'm leaning toward Spotlight Displays. I have a few questions though, perhaps you all can help me.

1) Are Spotlight Displays still around? If so, what's the typical delivery time? Do they have still have a promo code for APF?
2) How many posters can you store in a typical frame? The video seems to indicate potentially eight. Is that accurate?
3) When you store multiple posters in a frame, is it safe to have nothing in-between the posters not being displayed in the front or should something be in-between the stored posters? If so, what do you recommend.

I appreciate any insight.

Thanks a lot!

Hey, Robert from Spotlight is EXCELLENT, and I have bought from him for over a decade and never had an issue whatsoever.

Very trustworthy, for what it's worth.

yes he got hold of me we worked out a deal good guy it seems!

I have also purchased several frames from Robert, all with in the past few months actually. I will be purchasing even more frames whenever I decide to have my past two months of eMP auction wins shipped out.

Very much like the frames so far!

And I have been able to modify them slightly so that they can be safely "hung" on the wall instead of "attached" to the wall. The benefits of the former approach are that (1) I prefer to load the 1sh posters into the frames while they are flat rather than working against gravity loading them on the wall and (2) I wanted to be able to easily swap 27x40 and 27x41 posters in and out without any gaps in the frames and without having to undo all the screws each time. (Obviously, this means I have to buy both sizes of frames to have on hand but such is life...)

Custom Frame for linen backed.Amazing quality! Swap the anti-glare around and it's clearer and still UV protected.
