Micheal's carries display cases like the one pictured by ChasHawk. Can't recall how much they cost, but they come with BONUS cards! Usually each holder contains a late-80's or early-90's card! Wow. ;) The ones I've seen only hold standard thickness cards, not relic cards.

Yeah, they aren't for relics, that's for sure.

Some of the cards I have in there are a little more than standard thickness, but not much.

Pretty sure they are $39.99, but I got mine during a 50% off frame sale.

I will have a few different styles of display cases available in about 2 months. I have a couple more pieces of equipment to buy and have to deal with a DOA dust collector but should be up and running in a couple months. I am still experiminting with different materials and hardware and also testing multiple jigs/fixtures to make the assembly process easier. I will start with 3 styles of display case and 3 styles of graded card boxes and the product line will grow from there and will eventually include custom items when the CNC router is finished (its at 50% right now). I will be doing this on the weekends as I have a regular job that keeps me busy during the week, I just want to sell a few to make some card money and to help fellow collectors display their collections. I will of course give FCB members a discount and also be willing to trade for cards that I need. Hopefully have the first units off the line in around 8 weeks and I think you will find my craftsmanship better than most anything out there. Hope I can help you all out in the near future. Thanks

This 'CARDINALS' frame came with generic Topps team cards in it, but I replaced it with others.

If you were going for a counter top display, these may help. It's not fancy and it only holds one card, but I think they are cool.

Kind of a ripoff since it's only 20pt though.

You can just buy the little plastic easels that will hold any size one-touch, bgs case, psa case, etc.

Yeah, I didn't realize they don't offer different sizes on their site.

If they had them in different sizes, that would be a better deal.

For those thinking about building your own here's a few examples of what I've been doing. If your displaying autos ProMold make 2 types of UV holders in various sizes, one is called a 5 year & 1 is called a 20 year ( i think meaning the amount of bad light versus a non UV holder ). I rotate different sets in & out of my frames so nothing is up very long at a time.
