    Green 60. Can’t get these in store because everyone is selling them on Amazon and eBay.

    They have hangers for them or the frame that has plastic slides on the left and right of the card. You can make these yourself. Only thing I didn’t care for on them is you can only see the card on the top one. If it’s just a regular card I open them. If it has nice art work on it I keep it unopened. Theses I’m using thumb tacks but just pushed in far enough that I can still push the card up and off if I want to switch it with a different one.

    Forgot to mention storage. Definitely in a plastic bin. Keep in a room that doesn’t see a lot of sunlight or moisture. Boxes are fine but I prefer a plastic bin. Someone mentioned many pages back they used clean pizza boxes. Thought that was a great idea so the cards stay flat.

    If you do hang them I would recommend protector cases.

    I don't keep very many carded but the ones I do I usually use them as fillers between my clear display cases so the cases reenforce them on the sides or they are displayed where they can rest against a wall usually at the top of my shelves. I haven't had any issues. William63 offered good advice. He should know.
    Cards that I like and want to save I try to slit the bottom of the plastic that holds the cars and slide them out while not damaging the package. I store those flat in the 1/2 boxes I save from when we buy cases of AW root beer. Those half boxes work great for storing parts from my builds.
    Also sun light is your worst enemy along with mold. My display room is dry and has the blinds pulled all the time unless I am in there. The sunlight will yellow plastic parts including unpainted models and promos. It will also dry out those little tires and make them split. Even though my basement is dry humidity will still cause mold on anything exposed. I use a dehumidifier to keep that under control and make sure everything is in sealed boxes or totes. Been doing this since the early 1980s and I still see problems where even time becomes a factor. Paint cracks, cast pot metal corrodes. tires go flat from sitting so long in one spot etc. etc..

    Hot Wheels 57th Anniversary Baja Bug. Base, wheels, and bumpers are gold. I like the card because it’s different than all the others but I will open this one.

    Just so you know that's like a Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunt... so if you see it again, pick things like this up and trade them here for things that do interest you.
