Ultra Pro Screwdown Card Frames ()


These come in a few readily available configurations. I own singles, 1x3s, and this 2x3.

Pros:
  • They wipe down quickly and easily, especially by hand.
  • Larger ones have tabs akin to carded merchandise for hanging purposes.
  • They come in some handy capacities for regular card collectors.
    • the 3x3 is directly akin to a standard card sheet!
    • singles are infinitely classy, especially as...
  • Single-height frames can balance on acrylic display easels, yet...
    • 2x3s and 3x3s CANNOT.
Cons:
  • The screws can be a mite finicky, especially with larger, clear variants.
    • So long as you don't over-tighten them, you can easily back them out and line up the halves of the frame again.
  • The backs ARE open, but doubling up on cards will lead to damage.
    • The guide squares are only a single-card deep.
    • You can line them up, but the screwing process invariably misaligns them, inviting disaster.
    • If you're okay with affixing cards back to back, as these are, go ahead.
  • They don't seem to offer 1x6s for Sentai/Power Rangers purposes.
