That's awesome! Your apartment is about as decked out as I've seen.
Are you able to post a link to wherever you buy your framing supplies?
I've got some memorabilia I need framed and yours look awesome. I remember you said in the other thread that you did it yourself and got the supplies online.
If you remember where you bought it, please share.

The frames for the jerseys were from Amazon and these were from hobby lobby $12.99. I also bought purple matte board that I cut out myself while I was there to fill the frame.

Framing/matting is not hard to learn. I started doing my own around 8 years ago when I did my gameroom. Frame shops were so damn expensive - I had a few things done at one and it cost me over $1K - I said frick that and bought my own tools and have framed dozens of things since then. You only really need a couple tools, which you can buy at Hobby Lobby - a matte cutter and a guide. Logan is the company that makes all this stuff.
Hobby Lobby puts frames on sale every other week for 50% off. Frames on sale won't cost you more than 30-50$ for most stuff up to around 24"x36". A 40" sheet of matting costs around $ 8-10 - and you can catch those on sale also or just pull up a 40% off coupon on your phone.
You can cut your matting on top of a big piece of cardboard or just buy a big piece of foam board at Hobby Lobby also. A utility razor will cut the matting to the size you need, then you do your cutout with the matte cutting tool. A box of razors for the tool will last you forever.
You can learn online in a few minutes how to cut out matting, and if you explore a few websites you can learn how to do fancy corners and stuff, triple matte everything, etc.
This one cost me about $40 to do - would have easily cost over $200 to have it framed at a shop.
