Magazine VF $26.95 Newspaper VF $45.95 Magazine CF $68.95 Newspaper CF $120.95	#1. #203 Matte Black 1 3/16". (26%) This is my big Kahuna. A full 26% of all my sales in since 2001 have used this moulding. And there is a good reason why; it works well with just about any magazine, comic, comic art, newspaper or just about any other ephemera you may have. And it's inexpensive. Only some of 3/4" wide mouldings cost less. It gives you the most bang for the buck. This is one of 5 Matte Black flat top mouldings that range in width from 3/4" to 2 3/4" wide. If you like the width of this moulding but want to try something a little different, 9 and 12 in the top 25 list. These are Gloss Black and Opaque Black versions of this moulding. Or if a little color or wood finish is what you want then look at these mouldings which are all the same size: #660 Opaque Black 1 3/16" #661 Charcoal 1 3/16" #662 Coffee Brown 1 3/16" #663 Rich Walnut 1 3/16" #664 Dark Mahogany 1 3/16" #665 Cherry 1 3/16" #666 Walnut 1 3/16" #667 Green 1 3/16" #668 Honey Pecan 1 3/16" #669 Natural Clear 1 3/16" #670 Blue 1 3/16" #671 White Wash 1 3/16" #761 Moire Gloss Black Laquer 1 3/16"

Magazine VF $30.95 Newspaper VF $51.95 Magazine CF $72.95 Newspaper CF $128.95	#2. #207 Matte Black 1 1/2". (16%) My second biggest moulding seller is a slightly larger version of #203. It's 1 1/2" wide as opposed to 1 3/16" wide for #203. Aside from the width, it is identical to #203 and makes up 16% of all my sales since 2001. It gives newspaper frames a slightly better presentation. It goes good with all Value and Changeable Newspaper sized frames as well as Magazine size Changeable Frames. For Magazine Value Frames the width tends to overwhelm the magazine. If you want a Matte Black moulding with a flat top for a magazine VF, I would recommend #203, #660, #601 or #637 from the Top 25 List. It is one of 5 Matte Black flat top mouldings that range in width from 3/4" to 2 3/4" wide.
