Framing Raw Cards

[shernan30]

I've seen some very nicely framed raw cards in the recent weeks and looking to do some myself in the near future.

How is everyone attaching the cards to the backing?

I have double sided tape and penny sleeves before and that seemed to work okay. Any other options out there?

I was thinking about using some photo corners.

Also... have some cards in a floating frame (the kind that wedges a picture between 2 pieces of glass).

I'm also using UV filtering glass like Artglass to help prevent fading.

I use those photo corners for some of my stamp stuff where I'm attaching it to a cardstock page that goes into a page protector.
The corners can do a little damage about 1/4 inch in from the corner itself, so any really nice raw cards should probably also be in a mylar pocket or a cutdown cardsaver as well.

I have gone three routes, and will share my own pros and cons.

1. Cards in top loaders, which are then glued.

Pros: No risk to cards. Can arrange however you like.

Cons: Extra glare from glass plus top loaders.

2. Corner adhesives.

Pros: Can arrange freely. Looks great...Corner mounts nearly invisible. Mounts were soft and flexible enough that I didn't ding any corners.

Con: Other than at corners, card surfaces touch glass directly. I would at least be nervous with very high value cards. In my case, the most valuable Newton here might be $25.

3. Pennzoni case with tip loaders

Pros: No damage to cards; easy
Cons: Can't get very creative. Glare.

Of couse nothing I've ever done holds a candle to our fellow Chief Bender collector. His displays are the nicest I've seen, and I have to imagine that protecting his cards was a high priority.
