How do you Display your Tobacco card collection?

[DetroitTigers]

I started my T205 collection 5 years ago with just wanting 1 graded card over 100 years old. well, just could not stop after i got it. I told myself to collect the entire detroit tigers team set and maybe ty cobb some year (still dont have it). Now i am collecting all of the t205 at a slow and cheap priced rate, but still nice eye appeal on the front and hope to read the text on the back.

While collecting these cards it's sad keeping them in box, shelf, stored is safe deposit box, or other place. They should be displayed like a fine piece of art framed on the wall in a home for all to see. With UV light possibly damaging, theft, insurance, etc. it makes it unsafe and creates a dilemma on what to do.

what do you do for displaying a tobacco card collection or pre war? Would you be willing to share pictures of it?

Look forward to reading replies and viewing pics.

I display my T206 Tiger set on the wall. My cards are on the same wall as the only window so sunlight doesn't hit them.

Displays are great, here's is one of my tobacco displays. I cant stand the thoughts of locking my cards up, I need to see them to enjoy them plain and simple. I am redoing the man cave currently and when done will have 15 or so displays up throughout the room.

Very nice displays Steven and Brent.

I also think that I wouldn't be able to put the collection away and lock it up. Like you Steven, I'd want to cherish and see my hard work each and every day.

Now if you have a super rare expensive item, maybe my mind would change a little. I'd be sure to take out insurance if I kept it in my house.

Here is one of my displays. A set of 205s. It has been hanging on the wall for about ten years. Absolutely no outside light and low humidity

Matty, that's an awesome display. Even see a part of Mathewson's Big 6 game.

i like what i have seen so far and encourages me to get some art projects started this year.

Brent - i like your detroit collection and framed case. is it made so it's easy to swap graded cards out?

Steven - i have that dream for a man cave (but would need to be a loft or spare bedroom since no basements in Texas) and like how you matted the cards inside a frame for display like photographs or art. I'm thinking of doing something along those lines for each team set of T205s and a little over the top for the detroit tigers (home town team)

Matty39 - wicked how you have the t205 set and hope to join the club in 10-12 years!

seeing you guys hanging these cards makes me feel more comfortable and seems normal to do so.

Thanks and hope to see more folks post a pic of what they do.

I have my set raw in a binder which makes it very easy to page through and enjoy!

That's sweet. Did you build that or have it built? Or did you buy from somewhere?

It's a Pennzoni display. Purchased them on eBay.

Mine are stored in top loaders in a wood box. They are easy to browse through but inconspicuous.

[christopher.herman]

This frame opens easily from the front making it convenient to switch out cards.

[Louieman]

This includes a few non-tobacco cards, but I just put this together a few days ago.

[Bpm0014]

I store mine in an old binder. If they are in slabs I break them out. Even the autographs, Cobb's, Young's, Doyle (with part of NY NAT'L showing), Lenox's, etc. etc.
