When it comes to deciding how to preserve and display valued items, the word "assume" is most dangerous.
We cannot know the value of something in 50 years. Baseball cards being a famous example, as most were lost because people ASSUMED they were worthless. In the 1950s maybe they were, but in 30 years time, not so much.
Whether these cards are valuable or not, doesn't change that there is a right way and a wrong way to display them. Both will work, but one will shorten the lifespan of the item, and damage it beyond repair given enough time. The other will ensure there is something worth passing on.
It's pay now or pay later. Better to do it right the first time, rather than cut corners.
