Seeing some of your collections, could you tell me where you purchase the mannequins used to display jerseys? Preferibly I'd like to get one that fits a size 52 baseball game jersey but sturdy enough to be placed on my dresser. Thanks in advance!

I have had alot of success with this company. Hit the link and scroll down to where it says "Men's Torso Forms."

Scroll down to model 102-B . (http://www.gameuseduniverse.com/vb_forum/dspskudetail.cfm?CatId=22&ClId=123&PlId=334&Sku=102-B)

It is sturdy and displays very well.

Manne-King can be pricey - even on their 'used', 'clearance' and 'specials'.

Check you local Yellow Pages or Dex On-Line for USED Store Fixtures or someone like TeBo or the like.

All of my styrofoam MALE mannequin heads for hats come from TeBo (about $7.00 each) and my mannequins come from Used Store Fixture places around Denver as well as Craigslist.

Most of my Mannequin torsos have averaged about $40 - $50 each.

All the best -

Chris

Has anyone used these inflatable mannequins for displaying jerseys?

I use them for all my jerseys. They're GREAT. I've used around 8 or so of them and 2 popped over time. For the ones that popped, I filled them with newspaper so I didn't have to throw them away. That's the only problem I faced, but you can't really tell that it's an inflatable mannequin when displayed. I highly recommend them.

The image that popped into my head about Kyle using inflatable mannequins... the part about popping them was just too much!

Thanks Kyle. Do you buy them with the stands or can they be used without the stands?

I use them without the stands, but I might buy one soon anyways to see how they hold. They have a little rubber hooks on the top where you can hang the jersey. I've had a few of the hooks rip though over time. Here's a photo where you can see most of my jerseys on the mannequins:

I don't know how they popped either, but that stain on the pool table may be a clue......hahahaha. I better just stop reading this thread.

It's decade-old cat piss :D


I just took that pool table out of my room last week. It was too much of an eye-sore, especially with the stain!
