Thor Box Break - Huge 9-card Sketch Puzzle!!

notoriousrmb · 03-22-2012, 10:32 PM

Was in a Marvel mood and picked up a couple boxes including a Thor...I had already pulled 3 relic cards from the box when my wife opened a pack that looked a little different.

Beautiful 9-card sketch puzzle by Remi "Eisu" Mokhtar. If anyone has an idea on how to best display this please let me know. Thinking of framing it but not sure what the best approach would be. My best pull in a LONG time

If I was going to frame it I would use standard top loaders and put them edge to edge. That way you can see that it is a sketch puzzle with a small gap between the cards. Double sided tape on the backs to hold it to a backing. You could also cut a mat to be the exact size of the top loaders and put glass on the front and back so you can see the backs of the cards. I did that with my uncut sheets. Took them to Michaels to frame and bought a poster frame. They took the plexi from the poster frame and used it as the backing of the real frame so I can take it off the wall and still see the backs of the cards.

Thanks for the idea, I'm going to try a few things and see what displays the best but I really like the idea of being able to see the card backs too.

Not planning on selling this but was interested in a potential value, not seeing much in the way of comparables on EBay though. Any ideas what a 9-card piece like this would go for?
