That one time I won a signed Porsche Le Mans poster

Some time after Porsche scored a one-two in the LMGTE Pro class of Le Mans this year, they held a raffle on Facebook for 10 celebratory posters, all signed by the drivers. In an astonishing turn of events (life at the time decided to take a massive shit on me, not like it's let up much), I was informed by Porsche that I had won one of the posters. I suppose all the objects and people around me when I received that email were lucky that I wasn't drinking anything... With name and address duly supplied this package was sent off to me... this is it on arrival a month later. Yes, you can see my real name there.

The poster itself. Nice and big, although I had to go and buy some poster strips to hold it up.

Card advertising the GT3 that came with the poster.

Well, not just an ad for the GT3 after all. Well, I couldn't have come up with anything better to say either.

The poster is now on my wall. Of course, I suppose it would be worth more if it had stayed in the packaging, but that's really no fun, right?

That's a sweet poster. You gotta frame that!

Sweet poster and all, but how does one "have fun" with a poster?

I have no clue myself.

Would like to, but I don't think they offer frames in the right size here... or do so in a trim I like.

Frame that baby! Who cares about what it's worth, just keep it nice forever!

Nice score. I know about life shitting on you and how it doesn't stop shitting just because you're covered in it.

You really should find something to throw it in though. I wouldn't use poster strips on it since they could mess it up if you pull it off a wall, and the signatures could get all screwy too. (All of my autographed prints are either framed, or in plastic sleeves.)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can get custom frames though, right? It'll be worth it.

I dont know how crafty you are put maybe you could make one of junkyard parts. I'm thinking a window frame would be a good place to start. You could probably even pull a pice of glass from something like the rear window of a van that would be nice and flat. you can go to a hardware store and have themcut the glass to size, and is metal snips to size the frame. A stong cardboard back and your good.
