I am working on my display and wanted some opinions on displaying singles of paired items.
Some game used items normally come in pairs such as cleats, batting gloves, sweatbands, and sox. I often see these listed as singles such as Jeter cleats and Shaq shoes. Oftentimes fans are fortunate enough to catch a glove or sweatbands thrown into the stands and dealers often split a pair when selling them.
Just wondering if any of you have a preference in your collection and the reason why?
To me, singles are more affordable, are still game used, and are better than game issued. But i think singles are less authetically pleasing in a display. I think it detracts from a display when displayed as a single and I think the first thing a person is thinking when looking at the display is "where is the other cleat" or "where is the other batting glove?" Some people just cannot imagine buying a single cleat.
I welcome your opinions.
