I tend to just get a $9.99 frame that's bigger than the piece I'm framing and then buy a $1.99 piece of acid-free paper to put behind it. Voila. I really should do my walls a favor though and finally have something done by Frame Fetish. Link takes incredible pieces of art and turns them into something truly extraordinary. (His tables are amazing too.) Guess that doesn't do anything to answer your question, Tom. I can see an original canvas being an odd size, but why not standardize when releasing prints?
