Display ideas? Cards by decades…

[Belfast1933]

I’m looking for ideas from other collectors who display their cards when they span many decades…. Like many collectors here, I assume, I am a HOF baseball collector with T cards all the way up to modern (early 2000 HOFers) and I have them on shelves generally by decade.

I’m wondering if anyone has any clever ideas how to surround the cards to reflect their era. I have a few ideas but haven’t decided yet so I thought others might have some thoughts to share.

Here are a few ideas I am kicking around:

- empty Topps wax boxes for 50’s through 2000’s

- photo cubes with classic images of baseball from that specific decade

- magazines from each era with covers that reflect the era of cards/baseball


That’s all I have so far - I am leaving toward empty wax boxes to stay in line with the hobby itself.

I hope I am articulating the quest clearly! If anyone has really nailed so clever and cool ways to complement their displays by era and/or decade, I’d love to see what you have come up with.

Here are a few “before” photos of my display, just to help inspire others to share - thx
