How to make Card Display Case?

[cntrlsprtsrck]

Does anyone here have a blueprint/instructions on making a homemade card display case? It doesn't need to be anything fancy and can hold 4 cards or 50, am just looking for something to make that will hold some cards. PLMK, Thanks!

I made one and it cost about $100 in material. I went to home depot and bought two 15' 1/2"x1/2" blocked trim, two pieces of 36"x48" plexi glass and a 77 piece mirror hanging set. The two pieces of trim cost about $25, the plexi glass was about $30 each and the mirror set was about $12. I just took a better picture so you can see what I did. My case holds 64 cards altogether but could hold more or less depending on the size of the holders and how they're placed. To save some money you could also buy a thin piece of hardboard for the back instead of a the second piece of plexi. Basically what I did was cut down two pieces of trim to 36" than measured and cut the rest down to about 47" for the inside dimensions. Then I placed and screwed the plexi to the cut trim, but be careful when attaching the plexi because it might crack if too much pressure is applied. Pretty easy and looks pretty nice.

is it hard to put cards in and out of it?

Well, not really and it all depends if you mind unscrewing the back piece each time. I have a total of 24 screws altogether, 12 on the front and 12 on the back. I only unscrew the back of the case because if I do crack the plexi glass, it won't be seen, but if you use a 1/8" hardboard for the back, which I should've done, it would save you the trouble of trying not to break the glass. It only takes a minute or so to unscrew and not really a big deal for me because I don't change the cards much.
