Going with a bright green frame for hulk. Dark Blue for Hoodie. Not sure yet on Pez, yellow or sky blue. Possibly red for Magnet Mick, the yellow is pretty dark not sure if I could get a decent match. Really looking forward to seeing them framed up, especially the Hulk piece. At times, I hate being constricted by only using black frames; I'd assume you run into the same issue only using black mats. There are some amazing color combos waiting to be put together with these last 4 for sure! I don't feel constricted at all. I chose black mats because I wanted the art to speak for itself. I wanted it to pop out of the frame as the real reason we are looking to begin with. I think mat colors draw too much attention away from the art...especially double mats. Less is more is a lesson I've learned over the years. |

Less is more is a lesson I've learned over the years. I've always thought the different colored mats and frames highlight the incredible colors and sometimes bring out the more subtle features of these works personally. I do enjoy the uniformity of all black frames and mats though because like you said it lets the art stand for itself and it also brings a sense of professionalism I think. It's been a real privlage to have been able to come to the UG and see so many different takes regarding framing from so many different collectors. |

OS9 upgrade time.  Doesn't this piece just look epic without the banner and name bar? I'm in love with the colors on this piece. This card never really printed that well in the series. It was always super dark. This is top 2 of OS9 for me. So many great cards in OS9 that it's tough go really lock in on a piece as a favorite. I have a feeling I'll be keeping this one for a long long time.   Framed |

Friggin sweet OS9 final! I wonder why some of the OS cards seem to lose color quality when printed and others don't? Geoff's OS12 Heavy Meryl is another example of color quality lost during printing. BTW, I would keep Clark if I were you, one of the best of an already outstanding series. But if you do let him go I will surely take him off your hands  |

Decisions, decisions.  I bet you are a proud new papa!  Killer graphic work on this GPK!  Let me or Jimbo know if you want APOON GOON inked at the top! |

I didn't realized there's another GPK grenade in the background. Sweet piece. OS 9 is a great series.

I loved when extra stuff was in the backgrounds. Me too. I loved looking at the cards over & over again finding new little things each time. These last few series have been so plain or non existant with their backgrounds. The first time youve seen the card there is nothing left to discover because the background is too simplistic. |

The first time youve seen the card there is nothing left to discover because the background is too simplistic. Dyna Mike is probably my favorite GPK simply because so much is going on. There is so much to look at and yet it's still a perfect CPK look. I agree with you about backgrounds today being way too simplistic. I like a simple background where they make sense but sometimes you need a ilttle something extra to sell the "story". My favorite thing about the ANS was the detailed backgrounds. |

I bet all those on the wall under a black light would look bad ass.  |

Killer graphic work on this GPK! 
They look incredible in person though.
