I haven't had anything professionally framed in awhile, but there are lots of choices when it comes to matting, backing, the frame itself etc. I'd say the cheapest you could get away with is around $100.

Some of the plastic trays in my old GB games are already yellowing and those are only ~25 years old. I hope I plan to live another 25 (or 50) years so I am worrying aborting it.

That doesn't sound too bad. I read that you can also do it yourself so maybe I'll give that a shot before I make the trip.

Major snow delayed my shipment, finally came, 186/215.

Got mine today. 7/215. Tube was fine but litho had some bad creases (not on the corner, where it was rolled into the tube) on the right side, on the back. Glad it's on really heavy card stock though because you can't see it on the litho or through the frame. This thing is awesome!

Don't have a frame yet but I have to admit I got curious what number I got.

#197, I was so close to missing out on this. Glad I didn't because it's fantastic.

EDIT: Usually the first episodes of a series are rough and RML is no exception...but man these are still very entertaining. This show has definitely held up in my eyes.

How big of a frame will I need for this litho? Want to buy one before taking it out of the tube.

So I found out this set DOES have closed captions. Ran across the box set at Wal-mart the other day, saw the CC on the side, and immediately bought it.

Captions won't show in my blu-ray player, as there's no menu option for them. Luckily, I kept a DVD player for just this reason. Put the disc in my DVD player, and the captions popped right up. Very pleased.

I'm wondering how many other of these Shout shows have embedded captions? I wish Amazon made it more obvious to tell. Rocko doesn't show it has captions on the website. In fact, the box art doesn't have the CC logo on the side like my box has.
