My only question is how good is the adhesive used on the card backs. As someone that has built several multi layered cards I am sure i could easily put your awesome new cards together. On the other hand I can see someone with no experience having real problems getting the back even close to lined up properly.

That is a good question. It is basically a sticker. I think it would be easy to line up, but ultimately, I suppose someone could even just glue the back on w/out taking the backing off.

There is a little bit of getting your hands dirty, so to speak, but I think this is well within the realm of ease for the everyday consumer when in line with any other type of do it yourself kit...probably even much easier!

I use a lot of Avery shipping labels for fronts/backs on items. I know they also make a removable version. I have never tried them but maybe it would be worth looking at in case someone does not get the back lined up the first time they have another chance.

Mouschi (hi Mouschi) put this in the correct water cooler section but more members might want to see the endeavor so it was copied over to here. It's pretty cool. Good luck Mouschi!!

That's really interesting.

Question: what is the nature of your materials? Are they archival safe quality? Many regular adhesive products are highly acidic and/or will break down over time and lose their adhesion, leaving a brown stain. Have you considered this and dealt with it or disclosed to the buyers that the items they insert into these cards may not be secure for the long term?

There is nothing of mine that I offer that will stick to any of your pieces. The back is the only adhesive sticker type of item, and that sticks to the back of the frame piece.

At first I wasn't really enthused but after seeing some autographs matched up with pictures I think you've got a winner!
