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

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.

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?
