Show off your displays..

[DanP]

What brought me back to collecting was a visit to the Orioles Museum near Camden Yards about six years ago. I saw some baseball cards in a display case, was in the process of remodeling my rec room and that was it. I decided to start buying cards for display in my room (with my wife's permission of course).

BTW, I've tried all different types of cases. One that I really like is:

It looks great, the cards don't fall forward like in other cases and it also locks.

I just had some work done in my room so I'll post my pic's later.

Let's see your display rooms!

Looking forward to seeing pics, Dan!

Some of my displays, that most have already seen, but I am still proud of nonetheless: http://www.collectorfocus.com/collec...regan/displays

Trae, good start. Looks beautiful!

Where did you get the frames that hold your T206's?

Do you have something behind your T206's on the window frame so they won't fade (i.e. like black paper to hide the sunlight)?

I bought these at Hobby Lobby and used double sided tape.

T3's are the best cards to display. Unfortunately I only have one of them!

T 206 Southern League display has plastic tracks that plastic sleeves (cards are in) can be slide out and replaced to upgrade cards in set. Added backs of cards and pictures of cigarette packs for show.

OK, I finally took some pictures. My nephew just finished building me some custom cases. There are more pic's on my website.

Just wanted to bring this thread back up, to note that today is the 100th anniversary of the death of Addie Joss. Matt's display of the Joss All Star photo (further up the thread) is the most awesome and beautiful display I've ever seen.

I always had the idea to frame my SGC graded Cobbs, even more after seeing this thread. I even bought the 8x10 months ago. But I'm too cheap to pay someone to do it, and too lazy to do it myself.

That is, until I had to do some matting for a coach's gift (again, too cheap to pay $60 for two simple mats and too impatient to wait a week). Here's my first crack... $45 for a mat cutter, $16 for mat boards (I still have left overs) and $17 for the frame. When I get some free time, I'll redo the outer mat as the card cutouts aren't quite as clean as I'd like, but it'll do for now.
