What Your Wall Says About You (And Why It’s Time for an Update)

What if your wall didn’t just decorate your space, but reflected who you are?

That’s the idea behind Remarkable Artworks displays. We believe the most interesting thing you can put on your wall isn’t abstract art or a pre-framed quote, it’s the collection that’s been with you for years. Your grails. Your stories. The cards you pulled as a kid or traded last weekend.

Our displays bring cards out of storage and into the spotlight, using thematic backgrounds that turn your wall into a baseball field, a Pokémon arena, or a hardwood court. And they’re not permanent - they’re designed to change. You can swap cards in and out as your collection grows, your interests shift, or your grails evolve.

How Themed Backgrounds Make Your Cards Come Alive

A trading card on its own is a powerful thing. It holds history, rarity, and personal meaning - whether it’s a prized rookie, a holographic dragon, or the card you pulled from a long-forgotten booster pack. But when a card is sitting in a plastic sleeve, stored in a binder or a box, it’s just that: sitting. Static. Separated from the story it was meant to tell.

At Remarkable Artworks, we believe that context transforms the card-collecting experience. And that’s why our displays use themed backgrounds that turn every slab, holofoil, or base set common into something more: a scene, a story, and a living collection.

Bonding Through Cards: A Parent’s Secret Weapon

You’ve probably got a stack of trading cards from your own childhood. Maybe they are tucked in a shoebox, or buried in a binder, or collecting dust in a closet. Maybe they’re sports cards, maybe Pokémon, maybe something else. They meant the world to you once. And now? They’re just... stored.

But what if those cards could do more than sit idle?

What if they could help you connect with your child, not through lectures or rules, but through something real, something shared - right on their bedroom wall?

A Display System Built for Real Collectors

Both holders are built with magnetic backing, allowing them to be repositioned anywhere on the display surface with a satisfying click.

Why That Shoebox of Cards Still Matters

Tucked away in your closet, under the bed, or buried in the attic, there’s a shoebox, or maybe a binder, filled with trading cards. At first glance, it might just look like an old collection: cardboard rectangles with faded corners and aging plastic sleeves. But that box is more than just paper and ink. It’s a time capsule. A memory machine. And for many, a surprisingly powerful emotional tether to the past

Cards as Conversation Starters

Why Displays Matter

When cards live in boxes, they stay silent.
But when they’re displayed - prominently, proudly, and with intention - something changes.

A card on a wall invites questions.
It says: “This meant something to me once.”
It says: “Let me tell you why.”

How Many Cards Should You Display?

How Many Cards Should You Display?

At Remarkable Artworks, we believe your cards deserve more than just a frame, they deserve a setting. Our displays use thematic backgrounds that match the cards themselves:

  • Baseball cards sit on a diamond

  • Basketball cards on a hardwood court

  • Pokémon cards in a battle arena

Every genre finds its place. This gives your display more than something on your wall, it gives it personality and story.
