Locals have something to cheer for about this Father’s Day. Legends Gallery at Frames on Main located in Chatham, is known for its incredible sports memorabilia and custom quality framing but in 2022, the store expanded into the music scene and more! The reaction has been phenomenal.

Greg Dailey, the proud owner of Legends Gallery at Frames on Main, has been in the framing industry for 30 years. “I’ve been framing concert posters, tickets, – you name it – for customers.”  Greg and his staff can frame anything from a tiny photo to a 4’x8’ American flag as well as frame a collage using all types of personal memorabilia.

Greg also handles Art Restoration. Whether it’s a cherished photo, vintage poster or a valuable piece of art, Frames on Main brings damaged or aged items back to life with expert care and precision. Recently, Greg had the honor of framing pop art from Keith Haring, a handwritten letter from Napoleon, as well as Documents from 1794 for former NJ Governor Thomas Kean. All framing is done on the premises to keep your artwork, photos and cherished memories safe and sound.

Another new offering that’s creating a lot of buzz is his framed Hermès® scarves. “I had a customer come in three weeks before Christmas and she bought in three Hermès scarves,” says Greg. “They had these incredibly vibrant colors on them and we framed them. They were stunning.”  He loved the final product so much that he ordered more. They are framed and available for purchase in the store. “It looked fantastic. People are coming in and we’re selling them.”

Greg sports side of his gallery, carries everything from framed classic autographed sports photos to jerseys, signed baseballs, autographed glove by Mike Tyson, signed football helmets, hockey pucks and incredible artwork of athletes in action.

“It has expanded tremendously,” he says. “It's all over the map. With baseball season here, we’ve been selling more signed baseballs than ever.” Greg also keeps a lot of football merchandise in stock, and often has local players come in to sign autographs and take photos. These events are so popular that the line sometimes goes around to the back of the store!

“I've had Jets players come in, and Kayvon Thibodeaux, Number 5, a star defensive player for the New York Giants, were here for our meet the players event.”

Other professional athletes who have taken part in these events include Eli Manning, Mariano Rivera, Carli Lloyd, and  Keith Hernandez. Ticket holders can bring merchandise they bought at Legends Gallery, or elsewhere. The sports merchandise and autograph events make great gifts for Father’s Day and for collectors all year round.

Greg says he’s constantly updating the gallery’s selection, fostering new ideas, and keeping the store interesting. “A lot of my heart and soul goes into this.” Greg thrives on finding new and exciting photographs and original paintings to fit every home gallery.
