Hello All,

I see there are lots and lots of personal collections. Im just wondering how you all display them at your homes. Glass cases? Curio cabinets? Binders/pages?

I saw a collection earlier that was nicely kept in basically shoe boxes and thought "why have them if you dont display them"?

Just curious as I build my new collection with my 7yr old.

Mine are basically in boxes right now, I live in a small-ish apartment with not much room to show them off. That and I have a cat that is still in her very-curious-get-into-and-knock-everything-off-shelving stage. Hoping to be able to display them more properly once I have more space and my cat is a little less destructive. But I still go through the boxes quite often to enjoy the cards I have.

I have mine in 5k boxes which allows me easy access to flipping through or showing them off. I'd need a hell of a room to display them any other way and I really don't want to expose the auto's or patches to direct light all the time anyway.

Custom made or did you buy them somewhere? Really nice stuff.

For now, this is all the room I have to keep them. I'm not a fan of storing them up on its end like this, I prefer to lay the binders flat.

As for my non binder goodies, I used to have em all displayed in my own room. Now, I dunno where I'm gonna keep em. :/

I got this locking display frame on eBay. Just wish I could find a larger version.

My cards are in boxes. Most everything else is in Ikea Detolf cases.

Binders and boxes. Just don't really believe in keeping cards out on display.

I also store mine in multiple binders but I do mine by brand and not year (ie Donruss, Score, Topps, UD, etc.). I've sometimes thought of doing by year lol

(But inside each brand, it's by year obviously)

Anyways, not much of a picture but mine are also up high... I do have rare stuff or non-binder type cards in boxes or elsewhere
