Show off your displays..

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.

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.

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.

Erick, awesome display. Wondering if you can provide some detail on how cards are secured? Are they loose and laid into cut out, then pressed against glass to hold secure? Or is something else going on that is not obvious?

Thanks!

Well, I had anticipated some sort of elaborate contraption inside the frame (which is a shadowbox that allows for multiple depths by use of spacers) to hold the cards in place to secure them. But I was really excited to have the mat cut and wanted to see what they would look like immediately. I ended up with this beautiful design just to hold them for a quick view... and since it "ain't broke" I have no intention of fixing it. Yes... it's construction paper and painters tape.
