Hi TiCatFan
How you mount those boards depends on what will be on them. If it is just components, then right-angle brackets will do; Keystone has a dozen or more types - check them out at Digikey or Mouser.
If tubes will be on these cards then you need properly spaced brackets if it can only be secured along one edge. otherwise, if such a tube card can be placed along a vertical chassis plane then you would use standoffs or spacers as for horizontal mounting.
Daughter boards that are mounted on larger (mother) boards can be secured several ways that depend on whether the small board should be easily removed. You can use right-angle brackets or a sturdy connector interface. For example, on an old project I used 100mil connectors for electrical connections but a couple of 156mil single-pins to secure the card. The latter require 8-ounces of pulling force per pin to separate, so the little card was not going anywhere too easily. as the 156-family has very tight board-to-board connectors.
