This product has the potential to be a premium framing kit to protect valuable, signed cards while also enhancing their display value. The two-layer front mat is a quality touch. However, there were several issues which rendered this kit merely adequate, in my opinion. First, the miter cuts on the metal frame were fairly rough. The cut edges should be free of burrs. Second, there was nothing in the kit to hold/center the sports card in the mat opening while assembling the kit and installing the corner clips. The kit also lacked a spacer between the inner, front mat and the rear mat. Assembling the kit was like trying to make a very thin sandwich with the card precariously resting between the front and rear mats. The cutout on the inner mat is just very slightly smaller than the card, making it nearly impossible to keep it properly positioned while sliding the mat/card assembly into the frame slot and installing the corner clips. Third, the description of the framing kit states that it includes an “...appropriate number of PAT-tested, crystal clear, polypropylene sleeves, to mount cards.” But the polypropylene sleeve was not included with my kit. It is unclear if the poly sleeve would help to address this card-positioning issue or the lack of a spacer. Fourth, due to the lack of a spacer between the front and rear mats, the pressure from the clips started small tears at the corners of the mat where it flexed against the card. Fifth, there is no rear cover to protect the card from the environment. An aft cover, even if it were just thin acrylic, would be a welcome addition to this framing kit.
