There's different ways to mount cards (magazines...whatever) like that without ruining them. The easiest for the cards would be to leave them in semi-rigid sleeves and attach the sleeve from the back of the matting (just showing the card. You can also attach some archival paper/matt to the back of each opening (again from the back) so that the card sits between the matts so that nothing but the card shows from the front. Worst thing you can do is to just glue or attach the card to the front like the example.
I might add, for those that want to try something like this, you can find many independent framing shops in your city that will just cut the matt openings for you for a reasonable price (much cheaper than aaron bros, michaels etc). Then just get an expensive but nice frame and do all the attaching of cards yourself. Cheaper and more fun that way IMHO.
