I'm thinking about framing a copy of today's AJC sports section along with my game ticket and some of the hedges I snagged and was wondering if anyone had any advice on the best way to do this.

Where's a good place to get a frame for a newspaper with UV-protected glass so the paper doesn't turn yellow from the sunlight? Preferably not too expensive...

Also, it'd be awesome if I could have the ticket and hedges in a small little matted spot just above/below the newspaper. The only problem with this is I'm assuming it would require a custom frame. Anyone have any ideas?

No negativity allowed: If you think the win wasn't huge and awesome and I'm a moron for even considering this, take your Debbie Downer self elsewhere.
 
Great idea, Get set to spend some money though, I had a rather large framed copy of me driving one of my old cars down a mountain road called the dragon, chasing a car of similar make and model and spent 200 getting it matted and framed. Good luck though and show us the results!
 
Check out the pre cut metal frames. Most of the hobby shops and some art stores carry them. Sam Flax is near the campus on Northside Drive.
 
Rodzilla,

I will be honest -- I would recommend you spend some money and get it done right by a good frameshop. The newspaper yellowing will be the key, and a good frameshop will know how to prevent this. Ask for an early Xmas present from your family. :)

However, as CPJ said, he will be back, so maybe you do not need to get it done that well -- as this will become run of the mill. :)
