Experience and Expertise:
Look for framers who specialize in sports memorabilia. They will have the necessary skills to handl0e and preserve your shirt properly.

Some framers offer custom designs, including different frame styles, colors, and matting options. This allows you to personalize the display to match your preferences.
Ask if they can include additional elements like plaques, photos, or team logos.
Preservation Techniques:

Ensure the shirt will not be glued or permanently attached to the backing, which can damage it.

Compare prices from different framers to ensure you’re getting a fair deal. Remember that higher prices often reflect better quality materials and craftsmanship.
Consider the long-term value of preserving your memorabilia properly.
