Frame vs. Shadow Box?

[buck724]

Hey everyone--

Awhile back, I posted a thread about displaying my cards/memorabilia and I have another question to ask you all.

I'm looking to get some Griffey jerseys displayed, and was wondering what all of your thoughts were about Framing vs. Shadow boxing them?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want the displays to be safe/secure for my memorabilia, and also look very sharp. Thank you very much for your help in advance! Cheers!

Shadow boxing a jersey is quite a bit more expensive how ever the results are great if you have the space. Shadowboxes look nicer in my opinion. We have quite a few shadowboxed.

Here is my setup, these open on the side and hang from a wood hanger.
I get them from a local wood crafter for $90 each.

Follow up question, are the jersey gamers or non-gamers?

Thank you guys very much for the input! [MENTION=1953]Musial Collector[/MENTION]...non-gamers. UD Limited edition runs of Authentic jerseys. I just want them to be safe, secure, and preserved...as well as look very sharp. I like the setup you have there btw [MENTION=1953]Musial Collector[/MENTION]

I've been looking for a frame or shadow box for my jersey for quite awhile. Mine is a game used jersey, so I've thought about buying one of the jersey shadow boxes from Michael's or Hobby Lobby and pinning it in myself

Zach, Very easy to do it yourself. I will take a pic of my cuddy jersey I have in one of those Michaels shadowboxes and post in here tonight.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the average cost of a shadowbox from Michael's?

The prefabbed ones, if you get them when they are 40-50% off, you can get them for $35-40

They look like this:

24X30 BLACK SHADOWBOX
