Michaels custom frames are pretty expensive... a US$150 framing job for that size poster is cheap. I worked as a framer there for a LONG time... some locations won't even let you get the cheap normal glass for it. ours didn't. (Take my advice, and this is what I told customers who were trying to save money: get some plexiglass at Home Depot and then do the frame itself at the custom counter at Michaels, and get a thin metal frame, those are the cheapest.) Custom frame jobs were created for people who wanted pictures kept in good shape for years & years (the matting they supply keeps pollution & humidity out of the frame, the wood frames are taped to keep acid from seeping in, and the glass is UV-protected to prevent sun damage. All very expensive)... it isn't meant for people framing posters that are weird sizes. *shrug*
