My Newly Framed T206 Cards!

Any way we get the name and contact info of the frame shop? i'd like to get something similar done for psa holders. three frames holding 4 cards each with the large matting would look great side by side.

sbsolutely beautiful, Tex.

Very nicely done!

And the ability to change the cards in your display on a whim is great.

Looks great! For anyone who wants 9 in the frame these frames from Target run about $20:

Wow, only $20? That means you could display 90 cards for the price of 4! That's a little closer to my budget.

Looks great. I like the way that the black SGC inserts matte the cards in the frame, and that you can swap out cards as you wish. It's a really classy way to present these little gems. Kind of like your own Burdick collection. (I took these snapshots at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC a couple of years ago. There were about 15 or so framed card groups from various vintage and modern issues tucked in an obscure corridor that I happened to stumble across on the way to viewing the Washington Crossing the Delaware painting.

Thanks for sharing. They look awesome.

Great looking frame.

I know Barry Arnold displays his framed cards. Per earlier in thread, custom framing at a shop. Anyone do their own custom framing?

I tried custom framing for first time for Christmas, a Football ticket for a relative. Came out good. However, a ticket doesn't weigh anything.

Anyone try and custom frame a graded card? Or even non graded? Is this via doing a cut out of matte?

Happy New Year

Frank

Kelly's Art and Frame in Alexandria, VA. It cost around $200. I didn't shop around, I'll gladly pay anything reasonable for good and trustworthy service in this city.
