So I bought a LaserDisc on Ebay
I was thinking of framing it, any ideas or companies that do this?
This Is The One I got
I was going to get one of those CEDs because I heard Leo talk about it once but the selection was really bad (it was interesting but most of the CED sellers were trying to be ambiguous as to how to use them)

So, you bought a laserdisc off of eBay just to frame it?
Or did you buy it to watch but thought the cover was cool enough to frame?

i dont own a player but i've seen a nice french fist of the north star LD and was thinking of buying it incase i find a cheap player. it's really nice artwork. but alot of the laserdiscs are pretty cheap if a dvd release is out. if not theres still alot of discs that are quite collectable. like lots of criterions.
theres something really nice about having a laserdisc. dvds are made in there millions. while some laserdisc sets are less than 5000. bit like owning a record instead of cd. it's a shame a small company doesnt make a dirt cheap laserdisc player. i think they would sell quite well. as most old players wont last forever.

You can find players for around twenty bucks without too much trouble. I've found a lot of LD's at library sales and the like. Many look unused, and can usually be had for under a dollar. Best find so far is a Criterion "Last Tango in Paris" for a quarter, sealed.

I am also looking for a Phantasm CED to go with this on my wall.

I think I've seen record frames at Michaels and other craft stores, so you could look there (or on their websites). Michaels usually has a 40-50% off coupon each week, too.

I've framed a bunch of vinyl album covers with these frames from Walmart, and I've been very pleased with them. The good thing is that you can leave the album (or in your case, the laserdisc) in the jacket and hang the whole thing on the wall.

There were a bunch of CED's of pretty common titles that my local thrift shop got in. I bought a few for the art (they were a little banged up), but another guy in there bought a slew of them and then went out and paid $80 for a CED player. Seemed pretty stupid to me when they were readily available on DVD or Blu-ray, but to each their own I guess.

I have gotten some nice album frames from www.bagsunlimited.com. Search for LP frame kits to see what they have. I bought the matted ones and like them very much.
