Do you put felt or something in the bottom of your display case and run the pins through the felt? Some of these displays really got me thinking about building some similar displays. Also, is there any kind of price guide for pinbacks? Thanks for any advice you can throw my way.
If you take piece of cardboard and cover it with felt or a different heavy material of your choice it would work well. You can stretch it and spray glue it down or just wrap it orotund and pin or tape the edges to the back. If you hav a frame to put it in you won't be able to tell the difference. You can pick the color to help best show off your collection of pin back.
In this Koufax display I made (shown before) this is the method I used.
