Show off your set displays… beyond the binder??

And if you do go the binder route, any special way you might pimp your binders to make them a bit more colorful, fun, artful to display?

Love to see some photos… I plan to add my sets on these shelves to compliment and diversify my individual card collection

Here’s mine - love to see yours!

Thx -

I have made my own binders for my sets based on the actual wrapper art. These are recreated directly and not a facsimile like the ones on Ebay a guy makes. I redraw all the art and use binders from Target that have the clear fronts and spine. Started with a few vintage and newer complete sets and continually working my way through them.

Thank you. It's been fun making them.

Attached are a few more covers I've finished but haven't put the sets in binders yet.

Quick follow up question on the binders you use - these are D ring binders with the ability to slip in your cover and binder art, right? Target or Staples? Or bought as card binders specifically?

Loving this idea - might also do the same for my lower grade HOF player cards, to get them out of their boring, dark, hidden away boxes. They are not nice enough to make my display area. But still fun to imagine having a George Brett binder, a Carlton Fisk binder etc. And I could then take your creative wrapper art idea and apply it to the specific player binder.

Thx for the tip on the specific binder you use also -

I buy mine at Target. Their brand has the reinforced edges to prevent splitting and the clear front and spine is very clear. 3 inch for the larger sets and 2 inch for the smaller ones. I've built the spine art to work with those sizes.

They are also D ring binders.

Love the Whiffle Ball respect in your showcase… reminds me a great tweet from “70’s sports guy” on yellow vs the fat red whiffle ball bat. Hysterical. I’ll try and find and post here

Outstanding Wiffle display. My black bat from childhood is a cherished item.
