Cardback display tips?

[Cardbackkid]

Hello has anyone got any tips or suggestions on how to display cardbacks :?:

 

[poncho]

Gw acrylic sell cardback cases

ive also seen some collectors frame them for character runs

Cheapest way, and quite effective, is to get some 6x9 toploaders like these:

And then stand them up with little menu holders like these:

Or for rarer cards, acrylic cases from someone like Iain and Christian is the way to go IMO.

You'd think these things would be bloody cheaper..... £23.99 for a pack of 25 :|

They look great 8)

They display really nicely 8)

Someone posted on FB a while back, they had a set of 12 backs in a frame with the portion where the bubble is overlapped by each proceeding card so it showed the characters & in the process missed out a lot of the damage on them, must say I was very impressed with the visual punch it gave, so maybe a future project for you??, obviously it needs a custom frame to the correct size to make the most of it, but IMO well worth the effort.

That's a great idea ! Definitely going to try this 8)

They really do look well great collection you have

 

[decipher28]

They look pretty good,some nice cardbacks you have there.

I really think you have to have nice clean cards for this to work well.Tears and other faults on cards really lessen the visual appeal.

Love the palis and fett.

I saw that too. From memory, it wasn't custom made. He got the idea while looking for a use for a long IKEA frame he had kicking about.

yes thats the one, but he agreed when I commented that it really needs a custom frame making for the spacing to be right & the frame he was using was a little too high as well, would look superb done right.
