Best way to Frame/Display a Set

[geschrocks33]

I'm surfing for products online because I want to display a set in a frame/display of some sort but I'm really not finding anything too good to help me out.

Here's the details:

5 Cards. However: 3 of them are Vertical, 2 of them are Horizontal. Next issue: They are very thick (I'd say like 130 pt or somewhere around there)


Does anyone have any advice on what to do for this?

Ugh, displaying stuff can be so costly. How valuable are the cards? Maybe a thin shadow-box, with the cards in one-touches? Or you can go the professional route with mattes and such. I have my thin cards in floating frames on the walls and the thicker ones in one-touches on the shelves..............

Not very valuable, just a fairly cheap GU set

Shadowbox plus museum putty + top loader or One-Touch

I purchased some display cases from the US, and my cards kept falling over when I hung the cases on the wall. So I used the putty to keep the cards in place. Since that worked, my next purchase is just a regular shadow box and will just use the museum putty to stick the cards to where I want them.

The museum putty has worked well, I move my cards around all the time because I follow the lineup changes for the team.

Interesting. What size shadowbox, and where do you typically purchase them? How much, etc.

Didn't realize you were in the USA. Check out sfdisplay or pennzonidisplay, they are both on amazon.com and have their own websites as well. I purchased 2 - 35 Card wall display cases from pennzoni display. It is a simple wood display case with separators to rest the cards on. The shipping should be much more reasonable for you.

Since I'm using museum putty I find the separators redundant. I haven't purchased a shadow box yet, but my next purchase will be one.

hobby lobby has some decent shadow boxes....11x14 total size...they also have smaller ones...perhaps larger ones. They work really well...check it out:

you could arrange the sleeves or one touches nicely inside.

Thanks for all the advice, I'll look into those
