And they're deep enough that you can use a few layers of matboard. Most ready made frames are too shallow for more than one mat and a thin cardboard backer.
The craft store nearby also sells a card display case, but I'm not positive it does any UV blocking

Thanks Steve. Any chance you can share a photo of what you've done? It sounds great, but I am concerned about the look of framing cards in sleeves. I'm guessing the mylar is super-clear. That does certainly mitigate the issues I am thinking about relative to trying to frame an unprotected card.
