Display cases for oversized cards?
 
Does anyone know of a good display case that would be able to hold graded cards that are oversized? I have a few Zeenuts, a postcard or two, a few other cards that are significantly oversized, and wouldn't fit a traditional graded card display without having to be placed horizontally...and some of my cards wouldn't fit at all.

Looked around but didn't find much, any suggestions?

It sort of depends on where and how you want to display them? If they are truly going to be on display you might consider some kind of curio side case? There are 496 options of these listed on the bay as we speak... :)

I put my autographed 1946-47 Ted Williams Boston Red Sox team issued photo (which, as I recall, is approximately 6 inches by 9 inches) in a large, screwdown holder meant for type photos--8x10?-- it looks great, and should do the job insofar as preservation is concerned.

Best of luck,

Larry

Those sound like they can actually stand up themselves, which is cool.. The thick screwdowns I have are thick enough to stand up...

Yeah I checked out the 400+ curio displays...not quite sure what I'm looking for. Screwdowns are an interesting idea but most of my collection is graded. I have my collection in a real nice box perfect for graded cards...but I'd like them out in the open to see, especially the oversized ones. Im also in earthquake country....so I may have to screw down my screwdowns :)

How big are the items you want to display? 30 card deep pennzoni display cases will hold graded cards larger than 6 inches and look very nice.

The largest I have is a graded postcard from sgc that measures 7.5x10.5 inches. I have about 36 other cards and they're regular size, or a few slightly bigger than that

Call pennzonni and talk with them. The 30 card deep cases might just work for most of what you are describing. I am sure the could answer if the cases would.

I made this graded card display from some barnboard that was taken from a barn that was built in the 1870's. The shelves could easily be adjusted to hold taller slabs. Sorry about the crappy photo.

Just measured the space between shelves and with the slant, you should be able to put in a 6 1/2 inch item using the 30 card graded display deep cases. They look very nice but it will not fit the 7 1/2 inch item you described. Sorry the picture came out sideways but all the cards are in SGC slabs so you get the basic idea.
