How do you display your collection?

Matthew J Burrows · Feb 24, 2017

I'm sure this question has been asked before but I'd sure like to see different ways to display your PC's before I build or buy my own. Looking forward to seeing what people are using to show off their cards!

Haha the only thing "shameful" is that TV we need to hepl you upgrade buddy! Does that corner case's light mess with the finish of any of the cards? Was looking at something similar!

Oh I see it's like a retro room of sorts? Very nice!

Magicpapa is the only one that has pictures of a display? I was hoping some people have those cabinet type displays. Just trying to get a creative idea for the new digs

I have a nice (imo) display case my dad and I (mostly my dad

) built when I was around 12. I've always kept it and it's semi functional in my garage now. If I get a chance I'll at least take some pics to show it.

That'd be cool, thanks! A good friend of mine is also a teacher of high school Shop. Sent him some pictures of one of those PSA display cases that were going to try and put together

In my new house all my hobby stuff has been moved to the top floor in a very odd space, about 6 feet wide and 50 feet long, the length of the house. Slowly but surely I am sorting things out and plan to organize and display some things in rotation. I also would like to move away from acquisition-based hobbies to creative-type hobbies like woodworking and painting, so that should dovetail nicely if I ever actually do it. But handsome cases like card catalogs and long shelves along the walls will probably be what I end up with.

Hi Matthew,

Some of us make our own, I've been displaying non-auto stuff for years.

Here's 2 examples -

Those are two designs I really like and am going to try and replicate! Thank you for sharing

I'm going to respond because I don't want to see this post die. I'd love to see others...

My fiancee said I could put a few things up in one of the guest rooms "as long as it doesn't look like a little kid's room"... so I had too class it up a little bit lol. I'm slowly adding more and more stuff until she finally just throws in the towel.

Some Griffey cards that we my favorites growing up... above the bed

My autograph baseball collection, displayed. (The missing ones are being authenticated)

Close-up of my balls. (yup)

The commemorative bat I got at Griffey's HOF induction.

Goob....those are amazing displays man! The signed baseball displays are very well done! Did you build any of those yourself?

RStadlerASU22 · Mar 3, 2017

Nice set up Goob.

I wish! I printed the player names/photos, but that is the extent of my handi-work. The display cases came from SFDisplay, who in my opinion have the nicest stuff at pretty reasonable prices.

Thanks dude. Real curious to see how your collection is displayed... although its probably like most of my good stuff, in a box, away for nobody to see.

If I took a picture of how my stuff is right now, it would be embarrasing. It's really sad and hoping I can make a change this year to at least start scanning the Clark PC and other items I am keeping. But it's pretty disappointing how things are right now.

I think part of the reason I put this thread up was to motivate me to not have my collection on boxes. Here is what it looks like right now lol

Just moved into my new place so they live there where nobody can see them...not for long though thanks to all these sweet ideas!

I don't really have a display, but I am getting the weirdest preview pic for this thread...

I was wondering who had their kid sign a bunch of balls and stuck them in a case, lol
