I have noticed your display cards, and they are very good. However, there are a few things I noticed wrong with them. First, in the far left box on the bottom, there is a box with a color in it. A random color, I don't really know what it means, but a random color will work.

Second, in the second box on the bottom, you have "Collected/Shelved". All of the display tags have "Acquired", but the more dangerous ones have "Acquired/Secured" in that box. The last two boxes on the bottom are for the aisle and shelf codes. While they are blank-which is good in terms of not placing long random numbers into them-some of your artifacts are from the Dark Vault, which I have just redone. In place of "Aisle" and "Shelf", I placed the "Dark Vault" and the artifact's podium number (see picture below).

Third, the ID number in the top right should only be two letters, usually the initial of either the person's name, title, or the object (Example: Queen Elsa's Gloves would be QE. EL could also work, though QE is better).

My final complaint is the font size of the artifact's name. It should be bigger and more noticeable. Using your Al Capone's Soup Kitchen Spoon as an example, The "Soup from Al Capone's" on top should stretch across the display card, while the "Soup Kitchen" below it should be smaller, a bit bigger than what you have it as now (perhaps about halfway across the card).

Don't take my complaints the wrong way; they are just helpful advice to make your display cards look more official-looking. They are great (I assume you used GIMP, right?) and you should definitely keep making them. However, this advice will help them look better.

While I don't have GIMP (yet), I am using PowerPoint to make them. My style is slightly different, but note my critiques above as they are in mine. I hope you will keep making them, because they are truly good.
