So, this is not an uncut but is framed! I decided to put some of the more interesting card backs, jokers, gaffs etc into a frame to hang up in my office. (I don't do magic or play games, don't need any of those extra cards so figured this is better than in a drawer somewhere).

Just used a little foam core, some matte board and a cheap frame from the craft store and arranged 25 cards on it. I think it turned out pretty nice. Of course, as soon as I get more decks I'll have to do another one...

It's great the Bicycle Uncuts are so cheap, instead of getting two "high-end" decks, you can just get one of these. Now framing the sheets are another story.

You must have made this recently.  It has the Fantastique deck in it.

Looks amazing.

How did you get the cards to look so evenly spaced

You are right, I just put it together this weekend. The overall size is 18"x24" and I found that a 5 x 5 grid worked nicely and left some space on the sides (approximately 2 3/8"). I'm a graphic designer by trade, so I just did a little measuring to get the top and bottom corner cards in the right spots, used a straightedge to get the top row in place, and then eyeballed the rest. I used "Scotch Photo Splits" which are these tiny adhesive squares, I think used by people that scrapbook, to stick the cards to the board. They seem strong enough to hold it, but can peel off without major damage to the cards.

Wasn't too hard to put together and turned out nicely I think. Could probably put another one together for $20-25 or so, with just a little time for cutting the matte board and doing some measuring. I just need more decks now, so that I can get 25 extra cards worthy of displaying. :)

Here's a few other pics, detail views of this little thing, should anyone be interested...

I really like the idea here. I think if I were to do something similar, I would keep all the cards facing one way. Maybe do one with backs and one with fronts, but not both in the same frame.

*Jaw hits the floor* Those are simply amazing
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

Hey,

Those actually belong to Alex Chin (the guy designing the Seasons Decks).  The frame is a poster frame from Walmart.  The backing is something that Alex designed and went to a printer to print.  Almost like a poster.  Then he attached the uncut... BOOyah!!!!  Awesomeness!

Those framed uncuts look amazing! I really want to get an uncut rider back sheet. Shame about the shipping fee though. :-\

I'm going to bring an uncut sheet to Michaels or some other store similar to that tomorrow to see if I can get it framed. But I have a question, are all uncut sheets going to be the same size? (my sheets are DeckONE, V6, and Monarchs

If they are printed by USPCC then my guess would be yes.

I'm pretty sure they are, unless they have a different amount of cards, which I don't believe so.

should all be standard sized. i mean they're all poker sized cards, i wouldn't imagine they print an extra thick boarder that's gonna be cut anyway.

This is interesting, it may display 2 sides and can hold at most 10 sheets in it.

That 3-layer acrylic would be sweet as a table! Imagine having the uncut protected by two sheets of glass! If it was done right it would be sweet. Having an uncut sheet as a coffee table 8)

Those look really cool, and since they are protected it isn`t a waste of decks.


I have 1 framed uncut and it is a Deck One deck from T11.
People say nothing's impossible, but I do nothing everyday.

Today I found something that reminded me of you. But don't worry I flushed and everything went back to normal.

I believe it should look even better in brown_bagg coffee table. This is simply... a breakfast shop, the tables, the chairs, and the atmosphere are not good enough. :P
 
Actually I have 3 Deck One (from T11) and 3 S&M v5 (from D&D), but never think of framing them. They are still staying in their original tubes :( :(
