I sold my bat collection to focus on flannels, but I kept one of my bat racks up. The plan is to limit my bats to no more than 10, and in time, have them be the 10 most meaningful, yet inexpensive, bats I can acquire.
I made this rack myself. It's simple, the tubes protect the bats, they are easy to pull out and put back (velcro stickers hold them in place,) and since 1967 was the first year I collected cards, I display them with the bats. You could build this for less than $25.00.
By the way, Ryan helped me when I was collecting bats, he then helped me sell many of them for good prices, and earlier this year he (Crown) sold me one of my favorite flannels - a road NOB Etchebarren. Ryan, thanks yet again!
