Yes, they recently had a sale and I picked up an 11x14 for under $30 with the shadow mount (sold separately as an add-on). It is of course a different feel than a high end matte/frame, but I like the modern look. Also, I sell to the beer drinking/wine in a box crowd (like me) and we think it's cool :)

Yes Rick, but will the Negro Modelo straight from the bottle crowd like it. That's kinda of the crowd I cater to.:rolleyes:

If I have time today, I may order 2 different posters via Nations. Their site lists a sale which supposedly ends today. If you request to ship flat, they will--but you have to ask. Just wish I could find a place to laminate that won't cut away the edges. Staples laminates but trims the poster in the process.

I wasn't able to get the posters approved before the Nations sale expired so I considered getting a membership to Costco. Unfortunately there isn't one locally and would require a 50-mile round-trip to the nearest location. So I decided to stick with Walmart. The good news is Walmart now has a new poster printer as well as all new software. It used to take almost an hour to print one 20"x30" poster, but today each one took less than 20 minutes. On top of that, the previous posters were made out of a more paper-like material. These are printed on heavier paper...sort of along the lines of oaktag. When I printed a poster last year, I wound up getting it laminated for durability. Thankfully I don't think I'll need to do that with these.

Also...they now have plastic bags that allow the posters to be stored flat. And they still have the option to roll them into a smaller bag. All I need to do is to specify that I want them kept flat. :)
