i framed one from travis pastrania and i used an actual poster frame but its not glass in front of it its this hard clear plastic and in my opinion it works better so it doesent reflect light and it doesent smuge the signature

Actually your not supposed to because it will ruin the poster.
I asked a poster collector whos been in the biz for over 40yrs and he said
he wouldnt do it on any poster thats of value.he said u can for the regular ones u
find at walmart 24x36 but he said never with a original.

that really weird because people on her have been saying that if you DONT matte them it will ruin them...so as long as i buy a UV protected frame it will be fine right?

Thats what he told me.He said never to matte them.His words to me where.Make sure that is UV protected so any light will not damage the poster,make sure it does not have a cardboard backing (foam board recommended) and make sure to use plexi not glass.
