My T206 Display Project

[Sean]

Hi Sean, that's a great display. Nice color selection, so very visually appealing (though I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't include the pink Chase). But I don't mean to be critical. I think that those cards are a great choice, and the display looks great.

Thanks Sean, the Pink Chase was definitely on my short list (along with the green Hans Lobert, and the lavender Patsy Dougherty). In the end, I really loved that Jack Knight card, and I needed a dark blue to complete my 350 subset, so it was a better fit for my Highlanders card.

Your display looks great.

I would love to do something similar but am concerned with how the cards backs are held or attached to the mat board. Please share on how your framer handled this issue.

Again kool project!

That was a big concern of mine. Obviously I don't want to ruin 110+ year old cards. There are clear plastic corners that adhere directly to the background matting. They essentially form a pocket the card sits in. The cards are held in place, but are not attached directly to the mat. With the lighting you can see it on the top corners of the Dooin/Donovan portraits. It's really not noticeable most of the time.

Sean, do you mind if I reach out to you when I am ready to do such a thing? Wonderful...

That looks very nice!

Such an appealing aesthetic would draw in lots of people who otherwise wouldn't care about cards. Incredible schematics!

...and, awesome as it may be, the pink Chase has its place, but certainly not here! Anywhere but here!

By all means. I'm no expert, but I'm always happy to talk cards/displays
