Sorry for the delay, I had to get one out and take a picture.

Not cards, but nice stuff. Uruguayan cyclist Julio Capdepont. A few items from the 20's - Poster, photo, racing license, and a few medals including a national championship medal. The medals are hung from the hanging loops by fishing line sewn through the back piece of matboard. The license and photo are attached to the back piece of mat by archival photocorners. And the poster is attached with archival photo corners with a Mylar overlay to keep it from collapsing out of the corners as it's very thin, almost like tissue paper.

Near match to Bianchi green for the front mat and a dark green back mat. The lower medal required 3 layers of mat because of its thickness.

The matboard was something like $5 a sheet, the frame was roughly 30-40 for the sections. The Glass is glare free UV blocking, the most expensive part. I think it was around $50. The poster is about 8 1/2 x11 so that will give you an idea of size.
