So I've finally gotten around to getting some of the stuff displayed. Over the past year or so I've really gotten into collecting memorabilia to go along with the card collection. A lot of my stuff is done by getting autos TTM, or from guys who are able to get stuff signed IP since the closest team to me is the Rockies, and they are 3-4 hours away still. Living in Western Nebraska leaves me with no autograph signings anywhere close to me. Sorry for the crappy pictures, they were taken with my cellphone. Also, keep in mind that I'm a college student, so this room is my bedroom back home.


Some of the pictures are already changed from when I took these photos, and I know some stuff looks crowded, but I am a college student with only one room, my bedroom, to display my stuff. There are a few signed 8x10s that are not hanging up yet, but I actually do have some plans for them, its just a matter of getting some more frames in the future


The empty space in the middle is where my Denard Span game used jersey will be going, haven't had a chance to get it hung up yet

Here's a close up each half of the wall. These are going to be constantly changing as I get new signed 8x10s. I do realize that I need to lower the horizontal pictures an inch each, but when I put everything up, I wanted it all to be interchangeable. So if I wanted a row of just vertical pictures, I would have the nail in the right spot already. I apologize for the glare on some of the pictures as I had to turn the light on to get a picture

Just be careful about how much light you let into that room though. I've never been much for displaying items on walls and such, mainly because I don't have the room, but more importantly is my fear that too much light exposure would lead to fading and bleaching of ink and colors. I keep the door closed and the shades drawn in my card room, plus nothing much is displayed anyway. It's all book shelves and boxes.

What's the point in having stuff if you don't show it off!?

Great pics! Well organized. My house does not have enough walls for my stuff. Someday I would love to have my stuff displayed but I am we'll beyond that now. You have a good set up there. I'm jealous.

Thermal panel curtains, let in very little sunlight. The ceiling light is rarely turned on as well. Besides, I'm hoping to be done with school in a couple of years, so then everything should be taken down, and moved to my own place where I'm hoping to have a little more room than my bedroom offers.

And thanks for the comments everybody else. Sorry that you're not able to see who all of the pictures and baseballs are signed by. I'm hoping that over the next weekend that I'm able to move the pictures around some so that the horizontal pictures are centered, rather than being even with the verticals ones. I'm also hope to get some help in hanging the jersey since I won't be able to do it myself. Once the jersey is hung up, I'll be sure to post new pictures

It's your room, do want you want, don't worry about some OCD GUY 1000 miles away...

Haha, I'm not changing anything, just making a comment on the OCD. I forget that sarcasm doesn't come across the internet as well as I'd like at times. And its more like 1,600 miles or so depending on where you are in relation to Philly ;) :lol:

Looks great Zach
And I like the alternating photos.

Thanks Chris! Next weekend I'm planning on getting the horizontal pictures to be centered rather than them being even with the vertical ones. I'm also trying to figure out a way to display the game used bats with out breaking the bank on a rack or display case. Might have to talk to my grandpa about whipping something up this summer. He's busy right now finishing their basement though so it might be awhile before that could happen

Well I made some adjustments last week to the room and just thought I'd share a picture of the update version. One wall has been painted blue, the Denard Span jersey has finally been hung up, and all of the pictures in the picture are Twins signed 8x10s


Above the Denard Span jersey is his locker tag from when the Nationals were in Colorado last year, and it is flanked by 2009 and 2013 Ginter cards signed by Denard Span. Above the locker tag is one of those street signs and it says Twins BLVD. It was a gift from my girlfriend a year or two ago, and thought it would go well with the entire Twins wall theme
