Need advice on a framing project

[cardscardscards]

I'd love to see the outcome even if it's a single card.

Thanks!

I just had a single card framed. They advised against trying to frame it out of the one-touch, but your situation is much different with the number of cards. Mine was done professionally for $34. If it's something you're going to display proudly and keep for years to come, personally I'd invest the dollars. I have a jersey in there now which is going to cost approx $300. I think the issue for you is dealing with containing that amount of cards without it looking like a hackjob.

If you'd like to see a pro job on a single card I'd be happy to post a pic.

Good luck

As far as a frame you can use a hockey stick. Looks great!

Michaels can be pricy, but they are constantly having 50%-60% off sales on custom framing that makes it very much worth the while. And when it comes to framing something with value, you do get what you pay for. I've got a framed autographed Metallica book that's been on display since 2004 and it looks incredible after all these many years.

Hey!! This frame job cost me $23.99 + tax. Plus the cards. It's just a floating frame, but it looks ok enough for me. Sorry, the cel camera stinks.......

Not to steal your thread, but does anyone know a good place to get the glass for either a jersey frame or a frame for a card collection?

Also, do most people try to get the UV plexiglass or get pieces of real glass cut to the size you need?

Thanks in advance.

Also, to answer the question above, you don't want to hear the prices that Michael's will quote you on, they are terrifying.

Any Glass shop that offers custom cutting (so every glass shop) can get you any size you need at any thickness you need. Prices of glass vary quite a bit from region to region.
I used UV protective glass (not plexi). You can also tint glass after the fact. I'm not sure which is more cheaper (I would imagine tinting).

Like a few other members have said, Michaels would be my best option. They always have sales in the framing area, I got my luongo auto poster framed there and it looks awesome :)
anyways, I'd give em a call and see what they see.

Maybe try and negotiate with them and see if you can get any past sale price :)

cheers

This is how I display my top tier PC cards.


Bought 3-Variable depth shadow boxes from Michael's (Do it when they are on sale and they are $7/each)
Put all the cards in one touch mag or screwdown case. The cases are UV protected, so you don't have to worry about the glass. I still wouldn't put them in direct sunlight. I also use the top of the frames to lay cards above.

Hahahaaaa!!! You're not gonna be impressed. A little piece of double-sided tape. Residue, anyone????
