Show off your displays..
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: http://cgi.ebay.com/36-Graded-Footba...item35a649e3df 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! Dan |
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)? Dan |

Custom Frame - I copied the concept from another board member, but the coolest part is these cards are in SGC holders and I can take the back off and change out the cards.

Taxman, love the office room!

Really like this picture Joe. Amazing how these little cards can bring so much color to a room. It's really an awsome idea. If you ever decide to sell, let me know. |
Bowing to drumback. Is that a set PLUS the different backs?
|
T3 display
Yes it is. Thank you for the compliment. The "no offer" backs I have are Chase, Tinker, and A Close Play at Second.

SGC Custom Frame
David,
I had my frame shop save the design / layout so he could reproduce the frame in case I want to add more - or if anyone else wants to buy one. It cost me around $300 - if they ship, I'm assuming you'd have to pay to have it crated up and sent off, but that gives you a ballpark in case you want to buy one. Here is their info if anyone is interested. www.theframesmith.com 18208 Preston Rd., Suite D13, Dallas, Texas 75252-5412 Phone: (972) 312-1747 |
I love these displays. I've often wondered how people diplay thier prized possesion collevtions. I stuggled with this while building my Hall of Fme collection so I met with a friend who owns a high end cabinet shop. I was able to purchase some beautiful maple wood and designed and built five cases that hold upto 40 graded cards each. Each with a locking door and then bolted them to the wall. I'll try to get some pictures up in the near future.

Got it Joe thanks! |
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.
|
Nice Yaz collection.
My wife would kill me if I ever put something like this up in the house. I think I need to build a "guy's room". |
very nice displays !
Joebrandon....love that frame !! It's really a great idea. If I ever get my display room...that would be something I would have done. |

Wow!
Matt, the Joss game diplay is amazing. My wife asked me if that's what baseball card porn looks like, and I told her yes, absolutely. Wow. I can't get over how f'ing cool that thing is.

A few quick pictures, lighting not the best.
|
Absolutly beatiful! I love them!
|
Great picks! But did I just see a 1909 American Caramel Joe Jackson just sitting on the floor from almostdone collection???
|
Vacuum hazard?

That Jackson is only a reprint as well as the Cobbs and Hornsby. They are also on a table top not the floof. All other cards in the cases are the authentic ones.

Awesome
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.

bringing back the old thread

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. |
Nice job, Erick!
|
Erick, that Cobb dosplay looks great!
|
Very nice job! Its the way I like to build displays, clean and simple. Good work.
Drew |
Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words; I'm really excited to have it hanging in my home office.
