Update
It has been two years since I posted my framed T206s. I have made quite a few revisions and wanted to show you the finished product. The frame is a circa 1910 Tiger Oak piece and has a fine patina. I cut the green suede mat myself. Enjoy!

I have about 190+ cards that are in shoe boxes not being displayed right now. The display cases that can hold about 55 cards is well over $100. To me that's a lot but not sure if in reality it isn't. I would like to get a frame for a couple cards just to have in the office as well. Any recommendations ?

Josh, the best place to find a frame is in an antique shop or on eBay. A true period piece is much higher quality wood than what is available in a modern frame shop, has better patina and character and is often quite a bit cheaper. I found this particular frame on eBay.
I am framing quite a few pieces so I invested about $150 in a decent mat/glass cutter. Mat cutting is a skill that can be learned fairly quickly. The glass, contrary to what I would have thought, is critical. I use only Tru Vue Museum glass which has amazing clarity, is non-glare and blocks 99 percent of the UV light which enables me to display the pieces. It is not cheap but worth every penny. The middle course, which I have done with success in the past, is to find an old frame and take it to the framer to add the mat and glass. I hope this helps and good luck with your project.

card frames
Jim,
How are your cards held in place? Are those SGC holders that they are in or are they raw and somehow attached to the black backing?

Tom, most are in SGC holders with black paper behind the holder to give a solid black background with the whole then taped to the back of the matting. A few are raw against enough acid free black paper to hold it snug in a Card Saver which is then taped to the back of the matting.
