I can't recall the members name on here, but he was a Yankees fan/collector that had arguably the best displays of a baseball collection I've ever seen.

And THAT is coming from a Red Sox fan.

Love the bats between the card frames. I had the mini-version of that. The "jars of balls" is a cool touch too!

There are some great displays here. Our finished attic is the home for my collection. Here are a few photos, it's a little bit of a mess right now, it seems half the fun is always rearranging and reorganizing the displays. Most of my stuff on display is from my Gary Carter and Roger Staubach collections. I apologize for the picture quality, lighting is dim and I was just using my cell phone.

I too am in Southeast in Sitka. I do find it funny that some people refuse to ship to AK but with Priority mail it's the same as anywhere in the US lol.

ok cool. I was in Sitka a few years back. I'm in ketchikan. travel to Wrangell and Petersburg quite a bit for work.
people don't realize it costs the same basically to ship here unless you do large items.

Nice! And yes, people really don't realize that lol!

Very nice displays posted today and yesterday. My motivation to build a display is rising!

[MENTION=11187]Kid4hof03[/MENTION] , very nice!

Here is a pic of the display I was speaking about that my dad built when I was younger. I threw a few things in just to show how each side has rows to hold cards. When it was built snap tights were what it was designed for. At some point I'll redo to hold either 1 touch or top loaders. In the middle was where I had a poster displayed as a kid. The two sides that hold cards and the top rows where memorabilia are have sliding glass doors. The drawers were made to hold 3200 CT boxes. Then in the middle of the drawer is a cabinet, that currently I hold my Clark Mags/yearbooks/etc. The two longer bottom drawers used to hold misc card boxes, supplies etc, but now house posters. One day I'll get it how it should be. I'd also probably paint it, but when I was growing up, my furniture was wood grain.

Very nice story to go with that display Ryan! I bet that would look really nice with just a new finish on it too!

[MENTION=10698]bigunitcards[/MENTION], where you have the letters spelling out Johnson, are they in anything special? Or just balancing snap totes?

I just have a cardboard box with 4 stacks of cards categorized by position player prospects, pitching prospects, Braves prospects including prospects who I plan to PC, not sell for profit & finally, graded prospects.
I also have have another box that contains my Goldy & Freeman PC. I will occasionally display them around my desk but not often.

Really interesting to hear how everyone stores/displays their collection. My mindset is that I'd like to be able to see it and show it off a bit rather than have it in boxes to pull out to show people. I love the look of the magnetics personally!
