Storage Ideas for Holy Cards

[Michie]

Books and Holy Cards. They seem to present great storage problems for Catholics. How do we best organize them? With books, the options are limitless (and dare I say, sometimes even involve storing some in boxes when space is an issue).

But Holy Cards are a bit easier. Hundreds of holy cards are much more manageable than hundreds of books. Even so, I've got them tucked into books, my wallet, and in various catchalls around my home.

It recently occurred to me that holy cards could be put in acrylic frames so that both the front and the back side of the card are visible. I've been looking for just the right thing for months and finally found these frames that fit the bill. They are two slabs of clear acrylic held together with simple magnets, which make it easy to switch out holy cards depending on the liturgical season or special private devotions. The frame also protects the cards from wear and tear, unlike just hanging them on the fridge.

Since the move, I'm not sure where mine are at. I don't have many but I have a few. I know my dad has several Mass cards (and obituaries) in an old Bible.

I started collecting them before I converted. I have quite a few that I put in pocket albums. You know, like what people collect baseball cards in. Some of mine are quite old that I found at estate sales. I always get the contemporary ones I see too. I do like the idea of changing them out on an acrylic frame.
