Default My Framing Project

Hi, I'm more recently back into the hobby and I just wanted to share my framing project that kept me either sane or possibly insane during the pandemic. A very special thanks to Snapolit1 for answer a billion questions even though I think he secretly scoffs at the lower grades I can (barely) afford.

Really great getting to know some members here so far and look forward to getting to know more. I have a lot more to learn about these fantastic pieces of carboard and this is the right place.

Take care, Jim

(1948/1949 Leafs are my new misguided project if anyone wants to sell or trade)

Anybody who scoffs at that collection would be insane. Regardless of the grades, you've got some incredible cards, and I love the display. I also really like your 4 cards per set approach, it gives a nice slice of cards through the years.

They look great! I really love the way you have the landscape cards in one frame to line up next to the two frames of portrait cards. You can tell that it was a project done by someone who gets a lot of joy from the cards. Nice job!

Those look outanding. Did you actually cut openings in matting for each card, or did you attach the holders to the back plate/mat?

Thanks everyone! I should say the frames I am not crafty enough to do myself. I highly recommend the psa frames from this seller (they have sgc frames too):

https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtAndPhot..._id=1015236729

Sadly I’m not actually going to display these, at least for now, due to paranoia but they helped me focus the purchases a bit.

Wow, thanks for the info. As someone who has framed a lot of projects, this company looks like they have some very good prices. Just wished they had something for the "tall boy" basketball cards. Might have to email them and check for something custom.

100% Agreed

I think you have both a great display and some amazing cards. I do not know who would not be proud to have a collection like you have.

The presentation of it is fantastic. You can proudly display where others (like me) only can show pictures because our are in lock boxes

Very impressive. You have more courage than me. I considered displaying my cards in a similar fashion. However, the thought of a potential burglar taking a single frame off the wall, and walking out with five figures worth of cards scared me. I decided to keep them in the dark safety deposit box. Good luck, and nice collection.

Yup, not to mention the issue of water leaks or fires. I’m actually relegating bigger cards into a safe deposit box but at least I got them framed up and can look at the pictures.

Love the Ott Goudey card. Intense guy. Looks like the mug shot of a guy you don't want to meet in a dark alley.

The great thing about displaying cards this way is that you can appreciate the 98% of the card that does not affect the grade and not fixate on the 2% of the card that does. When I look at these displays, I see cards of great players from attractive sets that you have arranged in a very pleasing way. Whether the corners of these cards form exact 90 degree angles is irrelevant.

Those are really nice. One of my (many) back-burner projects is to turn a few very deep poster frames I got at a garage sale (like 2" deep) into shadow boxes to display some fun memorabilia I have.

Very Nice and Impressive just wondering, the cards should be protected by UV filtering. I'm going to design and build my own after tinkering with this oak frame for a piece of my family history and this is my other design and build of an oak cigar syle box for baseball cards

Those are beautiful. Yes, I went with the UV glass for a little more.
