Framing sports cards
Hi,
I have a few valuable calls and would like to put them more in view to enjoy them. I've seen places where they frame the cards with a montage. Since I don't want to use any type of adhesive to hold them, I wondered if someone had info in building a framed montage of sports cards (like a team for example). Thanks. |

Theres nothing wrong about enjoying them but to display them they will get
damaged from light regardless of what product is used. I have been doing this since the 1970s and have seen many people waste tons of $ on cases/holders and then have light/sun ruin their cards once someone told them it was safe. If this would be the case of diplays being safe the US government would have a way to preserve their copy of the Constitution of the US better but there isn't just like there isn't for sportscards.

Actually, they will be displayed in my basement where I have my home
office. There will be minimal sunlight there. I'm hoping light damage will be limited. I understand the conservation of value importance but in the end, I want to enjoy these cards and see them more than once a year |

Thats worse due to the moisture. Any open display where cards will be in the
air/sunlight will ruin them. If you really really like them i would make color copies on your scanner and then frame the copies since nobody will be able to tell. wrote in message oups.com...

I've tried something like this a couple times. Got the best results
from buying a somewhat large picture frame (the kind with glass on the front), and some thick colored paper for the background. I cut the paper to size, taped the back of the cards (which were protected by penny sleeves and top loaders), and stuck them to the paper. Then I put the paper inside the frame, and closed it up tightly with the glass. Did this with Topps 1961 Yankees cards. I arranged them so they surrounded a vintage team photo. No noticeable damage. Display cases work well too. You can display more cards with them, and it might look more professional. But it's also less creative and more expensive. At once time I was thinking about using vintage "commons" as a montage on a coffee table. Never did get around to it.
