Ditto here!
Not sure if this info will be of any help to you guys who are still waiting for your papers to arrive.
The address it came from is:
USA Today
2240 Broadbirch Dr.
Silver Spring, MD 20904
I live in LA so it had to travel clear across the country.
I ordered it on the 21st and the invoice is dated 10/29. So it took about a week from that date to arrive. The invoice also says "Page 108 of 1037." I'm not sure if that means I was order #108 of 1037. I assumed more than a thousand people ordered these?

Just got the one I ordered this morning.
WOW! I heard that when they made the "Gang Jailed" version of the newspaper, it was also a little bit bigger than the newsstand edition because the papers from 1985 used to be bigger. Maybe the reprints of 10/22 Youth Jailed papers are more screen accurate than the newsstand versions

The jailed are ones are going for over 100
Yes, that's correct. The first printing of the "Youth Jailed" that was at the newsstands were smaller, 11 inches in width (this is USA Today's typical newspaper size). USA Today eventually had to reprint the papers to fulfill online orders, which were printed on the larger 12-inch wide newsprint like the "Gang Jailed." I actually have the smaller, newsstand first printing version framed since I was out at 3 am that morning getting as many as I could. It's a good memory for me at least

Ah, so now I know. I just procured the "Gang Jailed" version from eBay (sold by a fellow RPF user, coincidentally enough), so with my mail order copy, I'll have a matching set that's the same size. Fantastic!

It's weird haha, it looks that none of the copies are cut the same size xD
Wow Pitbull, that's the first "Youth Jailed" paper that I've seen that's BIGGER than a "Gang Jailed" paper. So that means it's possible that our "Youth Jailed" papers could be LARGER than, the SAME SIZE, or SMALLER than the corresponding "Gang Jailed" papers? That's crazy.
I know the "Youth Jailed" papers I picked up the morning of 10/22 were smaller than my "Gang Jailed" paper, but I haven't taken out my "Youth Jailed" paper I ordered online yet to verify it's larger. I guess I should have ordered TWO "Youth Jailed" online reprints—one to serve as the inside stuffing for the "Gang Jailed" paper (since all we got was the outside cover), and one to be a matched-size copy of the "Gang Jailed" paper...
So now what's rare won't just be someone who has the "Gang Jailed" paper; it will be someone who has BOTH papers in MATCHING sizes!
Hmmm...I could just frame the cover sections of my larger "Gang Jailed" paper and the same-size online reprint "Youth Jailed" paper...

Sorry, I almost missed your question. It's an archival custom-made frame from http://thepaperframer.com/
This is not a big business; it's one guy making these. Depending on your budget ($50 for the frame), I highly recommend buying from him. I've had great experiences ordering from his online store, and I have a soft spot for small businesses and veterans. He usually ships within 1-3 days from your order. They are custom wood frames with framing grade acrylic and acid-free backing (you provide him with the exact dimensions of what you want framed and choose the style of frame you want). I plan to keep my newspapers for a lifetime, so a good archival frame was best for me. Also, I personally can't stand glass frames. For my frame, he used the Conservation Reflection Control Acrylic from http://www.tru-vue.com
