Should I buy this?

[CureTheSane]

Surprisingly I haven't aquired much premiership merchandise as yet.

I got a scarf for my birthday which listed all the players etc but have been waiting for most of it to come down in price.

I am looking at getting THIS not on ebay but at the AFL shop.

What do you think?
Worth the $$$?

OK, the link didn't work for some reason.....

OK, let's try again.....

it's $165 at the AFL shop

Bloody rip off IMO. $165 is a lot of beer.

I bought some photos from The Age

And had them framed myself - you get exactly what you want at half the price.
I bought three 10x8 photos for $40 each and had them framed into one frame and the framing and plaque cost $85. You could easily do one for uner $100.

I think it's worth it.

Where did you get it done, I was quoted about $150 to get my WEG poster framed. I think I need to try in the city.

Be careful with framing - lots of different options. Had my WEG poster framed for $180 but it will last as backing & border are specially treated. Would you risk something like this to a cheap frame?

I have just found out I get a 15% discount because I work with Defence, so that saves 20big ones. But I think I should still try the city rather than a country town

Has anyone bid on it? If not it may come up again at a cheaper price.

The WEG poster is a lot bigger than a 10x8.

Its a $2 poster in a $180 dollar frame.

It might only cost $2...but it is priceless

That's three 10x8 photos in the one frame for $80.($and an extra $8 for an engraved plaque)
I go to Kardinia Picture Framers in Moorabool Street Geelong (near Kardinia Park). They do a lot of memorabilia there and it always looks good, a lot better than what's sold on sydneyswans.com.au (Why do they all have black frames on there?)

Wow, imagine how much discount you would get if you worked with the midfield!
