Think this turned out pretty sweet.



Pulled it from a Walmart Tin. Die hard Wings fan, card had some damage(bottom right) so wasn’t worth selling, also the oversized is a bit odd of a card so the value wasn’t there. Regular young guns I would’ve kept and held onto for life.

Oversized wasn’t sure what to do with. Got a double sided frame and think it turned out gorgeous. While yes, it is a little crooked, it’s near impossible to get it straight unless anyone has any ideas that wouldn’t directly damage the card. Works for me.

    If it’s sandwiched between two pieces of glass/plastic, simply take off the frame and use two other cards of the same or thinner card stock to center the Seider card. Lightly pinch the Seider between the clear pieces, and push it into final placement using the edges of the other cards. You can use a couple small pieces of masking tape to tack the corners of the glass to a countertop. I would do it near the edge of a table so it’s easier to get the first frame piece back on without shifting stuff around.

    If they are cards you don’t care about (or if you have some craft paper, card stock, or something else you can mark with a pen/pencil), you can grab a measure tape, a pen, and math out where the Seider card needs to be centered, and mark your measurements on the scrap cards/stock.

    * Find the width of the glass (A)
    * Find the width of the Seider card (B)
    * Subtract (B) from (A), then divide by 2 to find (C)

    This is how much space on each side of the card you’ll want. Do the same with the top and bottom (grab two more cards if you need to). Hopefully this little illustration will help you out:
