Show off your set displays… beyond the binder??

[Bliggity]

When this thread popped up a few months ago, I was in the middle of a big display project that I started a couple months into Covid. I'd been back into collecting for about seven years, but I was very disorganized and most of my collection was in a wooden trunk that I never opened. I was getting minimal enjoyment out of my cards and decided that I really needed to be able to see them every day to get the most out of them. I looked at hundreds of different cabinets and finally picked this one.



After I got the cabinet, the first thing I did was install UV-blocking film on both windows in the room (only indirect sunlight, thankfully), as well as on each pane of glass in the cabinet. Then I installed a lock and a couple remoted-controlled strands of small LED lights. After that I spent a few months planning out the shelves and getting all the plastic stands. Then came the re-organization of the collection and finally setting up the display. I'm pretty happy with how it came out, and my wife even seems to be impressed with my collection now!



Here are the individual shelves -

(1) Six M101-2s: Jackson, Wagner, Mathewson, Plank, Collins, and Joss.



(2) Yankees shelf: Butterfinger Ruth & Gehrig; Quaker Oats Ruth; a few Mantles, and DiMaggios. Eventually I'd like to put all 3 Mattingly RCs on the right side, but I only have the Donruss at the moment.



(3) Prewar shelf #1: A few T3s, including Brown and Tinker; my T209-1 complete set; and a couple N28s and N162s.



(4) Prewar shelf #2: A row of T205 HOFers on top; middle row of various T207 and E92-family caramels in a color wheel; bottom row of caramels with sunrises on the left and sunsets on the right. I'm really happy with how this one turned out



(5) Other prewar & etc: A tier of E121 and other B&W cards at left, including a couple Cobbs, a couple GC Alexanders, WaJo, and other HOFers; a tier of candy & gum cards at right, with a Sport Kings Cobb, some 1915 CJs, some Goudeys, and others; and a middle tier with some random pre- and postwar. I'm not as happy with this shelf at the moment and will probably reorganize it and swap out some cards later this month.



Thanks for indulging me & lets see some other displays!
