you don't even need foamboard.

I've framed a few things by putting them in a mylar sleeve and attaching the sleeve to the back of the matboard with archival photo corners. I cut my own mats so it works out nicely. I either use off the shelf frames, or the framing shop near me that caries the UV blocking glass has frames that you assemble. They come in packs of 2 sides, so you can make a good array of sizes. And they're deep enough that you can use a few layers of matboard. Most ready made frames are too shallow for more than one mat and a thin cardboard backer.

The craft store nearby also sells a card display case, but I'm not positive it does any UV blocking
