I wish to display a full set of playing cards in a frame. They are WW2 Aircraft Spotting playing cards with each card displaying a different aircraft silhouette, and would like superb framed. Whilst I can find display cases for playing card boxes I am unable to find anything to just show the cards. I dont want to damage them by gluing etc. so framing them would benefit from a dedicated display frame. Question is where can such a frame be found?

You used to be able to buy glassed clip frames. My late husband put old cigarette cards in one and a completed jigsaw in another, but not sure if this type of frame is still available.

Not sure how many cards in your set.. This one is 52 pictures which may be coincidence . So a frame for multiple small photos

I have a set of cigarette cards framed but cannot remember how I got it.

But I just Googled "framing cigarette cards" and got lots of useful-looking links - here is just one example at random.

bednobs, amazingly the simplest answer may actually be the best. Will make enquiries.
jw47, thank you, tried the clip frame approach but couldn't get all cards aligned to 100% accuracy.
bobbinwales, thank you, had seen this and similar but sadly are not standard playing card size.

Etch

'Trading cards' seem to be similar in size to playing cards and this is available. Only 12 cards though, so you would be limited to just the 'nicest' ones:
