Possibly off topic, but wondering if anyone has bought/built a display case that allows you to display both sides of your graded baseball cards? I'm thinking of something on a stand, instead of hanging on the wall. Considering that the backs are half of the fun of T206, I'd love to find a way to display both sides. Thanks!

Years ago, I played around with an idea to have an extra large wall display that had a gear connected to the bottom of a slot that the graded card would slide into. All the gears would be connected to a motor, so all cards would spin front to back continously at the same time. I don't have my custom fab shop anymore, and the idea, along with 3D printed test pieces went into storage.

Grab yourself a 'Lazy Susan' and get spinning. :D

Haha, sounds like a fun project! Years ago, I played around with an idea to have an extra large wall display that had a gear connected to the bottom of a slot that the graded card would slide into.

Some department store jewelry cases slowly rotate. The card would not rotate (as mentioned above) but the back would be visible during part of the circuit. Years ago, I came across a collector who displayed his cards in one of these -

I thought that was pretty cool.
Interesting.

I've given thought to modifying a flipping floor poster display for this. Seems like it would not be outlandishly difficult to change inserts to a cut plexi that you can see both sides.

If you're on a tight budget, check this out...
My new CardViewzer X-3800™ has its limitations (namely, that only one of your guests can operate the device at a time), but it is a game changer!! Talk about the absolute ease* of seeing both sides of each and every card you own...NOTHING on the market surpasses it!!!

Justin, I really like your idea. I recall seeing something similar to this 20-25 years ago, either at a card shop or at a show. IIRC, the contraption I saw was made of wood, and each display section held approx. 25-35 cards. Both sides of the cards in each display section were visible by flipping the display sections over.

Val, you're not the only one that remembers that. I know I've seen something similar at shows and not that long ago.

What about a rotating display case like this one?
