Sweet "bat wall" Bert!

[shoremen44]

The stripes are paint... The rest is vinyl letters

An A++ for creativity. That is very cool. Is that in the basement? Looks like a block wall behind the display.

[geoff]

Bert Wow now Thats Cool.There sure is A Bat on your Rack that looks like I used to Own it.LOL.

[shoremen44]

Geoff... I. Sure there is at least one on the wall that used to be yours

Office Display room taken over by baby on the way (Due at the end of November). I got laid off on Thursday, so I spent my first day of unemployment getting the new display room ready. Here it is! Let me know what you think. This is the loft/landing on the 2nd story at the top of the stairs. Entire collection is items from players from the 2005 NL Championship team. Always looking for bats I don't have!

Awesome Stro's stuff, what kind of rack/wall mount did you use to hang your bats? I am thinking about making the switch from bat tubes to something similar to that.

Great display!

[Astros7]

Great display!

The bat racks are individual bat holders. They are the acrylic vertical bat holders as seen on ebay for about $5 each. They work great, and blend in very well.

[Klattsy]

I freakin love this thread. I could just stare for hours at some of these pics.

Thanks everyone and congratulations!

[mb23]

My wife works for a museum exhibit design company and they can make those cases with museum quality fabrics, glass, etc. They are not cheap (like $500-$750) but they display really nicely and are literally used in museums like the HOF. I have one that they are working on now. I can put you in touch with the shop that does their fabrication if anyone is interested. Nice cases for high-end stuff are hard to come by and I like having these types of custom cases where you can display multiple items and rotate them.

Good luck with the construction Konerko- be sure to post the finished product! Hope it turns out well.

I would be interested in a case like that I have been looking but can not seem to find one for sale or online anywhere. Can anyone help?

[shoremen44]

Done a bunch more work and just wanted to update my Office...

The door was actually pretty easy... I bought the door itself for $5 from Habitat for humanity store... cut out the top portion, put in some glass, and then got the letters online

I cut down my bookcases and was able to add 116 more spaces for bats. The slots I created are 2 deep so I can stack doubles. Now I have room for about 600 bats in my room.

[UT_Vols_Collector]

All of these collections are absolutely amazing! I hope one day to have a collection half as nice as most of these.

[kprst6]

I always run into the dilemma of whether or not to buy/create nicer displays, purchase more memorabilia, or buy a larger house to display my items. I've actually cut back and sold a large portion of my autograph collection to focus on game used item.

[NEFAN]

Had to combine 2 rooms in to one, wife had enough.LOL

[aeneas01]

man, spectacular stuff guys! btw nefan, the "grogan" helmet you mentioned in another post might be brian dowling's helmet given the date code - and assuming the numbers, helmet model and team decal size is correct, haven't taken a close look. but at first blush it looks like a nice helmet/gamer, regardless of the facemask sitch (facemasks are never a red flag or big deal for me unless it's stated that it's original to the helmet - many vintage gamers come without facemasks and collectors often just add one, even if it's not the right model, because they think it completes the helmet)....

[NEFAN]

Thanks for the info.

[UGA016]

Should be moving in to our New house in the next couple of weeks. Where I will have my own Game Room....thank God....this is half of my stuff. This is my room for now in the Garage. Actually not to bad..... GOOO DAWGSS!!!

[UT_Vols_Collector]

UGA016-

While our teams have quite the rivalry, I can honestly say that you have an amazing collection of UGA gamers. Do you collect only college items or do you follow your players into the pro's and collect that stuff as well?

[UGA016]

UT_Vols_Collector I prefer to collect UGA items only. I have owned a couple of NFL items before. I did have a Matthew Stafford Home Rookie Signed Gamer from 2009. If the right piece came up I might consider. I have found that the NFL items are alot easier to obtain versus the College Gamers. I have several friends that I keep in contact with in the UGA collectors realm. There's only a few REAL collectores. UGA-1 is one of them. Great Guy. Do you have any UT pieces. Would love to see some. Gonna be a good season this year in the SEC.

[bama0037]

Hello UT and UGA, my fellow SEC comrades. Very nice stuff you have there Georgia. I have a room with all kinds of Bama stuff. I will try and take some pics. Right now I have the following Helmets that are Game Used: Ingram Freshmen Helmet, Julio Jones Junior Helmet, Rolando McClain Helmet, Javier Arenas helmet, and my newest addition....Trent Richardsons Helmet from last year and the A-Game a few weeks ago. I find the jerseys of the stars are much tougher to find. I have Arenas, Glen Coffee, Andre Smith, Antoine Caldwell gamers that show quite a bit of use but the big stars like Ingram and Julio are almost impossible to find. You are right about the college stuff being MUCH TOUGHER to collect than the NFL stuff. Can't wait until the season starts...I know Bama will have a few issues on offense but returning 10 of 11 starters on defense including 2 Senior Captains in Barron and Hightower can't hurt.

[bama0037]

Forgot to include my best item... I have the boxed set of all 3 rings from one of the players on the Championship team. SEC Championship, BCS Championship, and the 3rd Ring that the players designed in the display box from Jostens.

[hockeytigers]

Hey Bama, Jo sports has a couple of Alabama jerseys you should like...

[reed1216]

Couldn't upload the pics, so here's my revised site...

http://community.webshots.com/user/Reed97

[UT_Vols_Collector]

UGA,

Right now the only college items used items I have are two senior bowl jerseys of Robert Ayers and Arron Sears. I would like to get more college items, but from what I can tell the athletic department does not let jerseys out at all and I have no contacts to try and obtain the items that do. There is a nice Montario Hardesty gamer on JO, but they want $2k for it. Hopefully once I'm done with college I will actually be able to afford items like that, but for now I'm focused on NFL stuff because it's all that I can afford on a college budget lol.

I am looking forward towards this season, but I am also quite nervous. We are going to have a high number of true freshman starters, but we've competed in the past few years with a lot of freshman so who knows what will happen. No matter what it will still be a another great season of SEC football!

[cigarman44]

Finally got my own display room!

[bigtruck260]

Joe, your collections changes as many times as Ank switches teams...way to keep up man.:D

[UGA016]

Well I am getting excite about getting my New Georgia Room. We close on the house in a few Days. The pics arent the best. Figured I would post a few and get some ideas on what I should do to it. I have plans to build a bar on the left side nook beside the stairs. Colors of walls? Do have Tv and Entertainment squared away. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAWGSSSSSSSSSS!! Also I am Happy to Report I have aquired the Holy Grail of UGA Collectors. I was able to work out a Deal with UGA-1 and will be recieving Tommrw, one of his 2 Herschel Walker Home Gamers from 1981. Cant Wait.............

[kprst6]

It's not a JO gamer, I got it directly from Hines Ward. He let me take a picture of him holding the jersey with a post-it note that says to me. He also signed a personal COA that has a picture of him holding the jersey stating its authenticity etc. I also photo-matched it 3x's on my website mypenscollection.com (Under the Steelers Game Used Section).

[Shipp_96]

Well said. That is simply an awesome nook you have there, my friend! I have dreams of one day having our own home (instead of a rental) and having a Penn State den. (SIGH), to dream...

I would love to see more detailed close up shots of those UGA helmets, and which players they are. Are they all game worn? You are lucky UGA are very generous with their selling their game used gear. I wish Penn State would take a Que from them. Only two pair of cleats I own are actually Penn State worn, the rest (including all of my gamer jerseys) are all former PSU player's NFL items.

[UGA016]

Yeah thanks Shipp...Most of the Helmets are Game Used...I will post some better, smaller and clearer pics today. Those arent the best. Thanks Shipp....yeah I have a couple of Legit connections inside and out of UGA. There is alot of Crap out there...so its nice to have REAL Pieces....

[UGA016]

ok here are some better and smaller pictures. Sorry the others were terrible.....Go Dawgs!!

[shaunharr]

First, I want to say thanks to all who contacted me after my recent robbery story. I appreciate all of your comments. If I didn't get back to you, I apologize. It's been a roller coaster ride to say the least.

I am not quite done with my man room (man cave) but I made a few more additions. I still have a Jerry Rice jersey to get framed for the wall that has the bats leaning. I also ordered a 3-bat rack to place underneath the Favre jersey.

Also, someone on the forum (jlind, I think) had asked about Bruce Hurst Red Sox items. The framed Red Sox jersey is Hurst's from the 1987 season. I bought it several years ago, possibly from a forum member, and was very excited when I came across an '88 Donruss card that showed him possibly wearing the jersey. The 75th anniversary of Fenway Park patch is visible on the card and I'm not sure how many jerseys would have been issued to a pitcher that year.

Anyway, thanks again to all. It is appreciated. Enough of that... here are the pics...

[MLB~NUT]

Love the Cardinals room BIGTRUCK...

[MLB~NUT]

Heres My Cardinals Office, Currently Building my Cardinals Media Room in the basement, as I ran out of room in my office a long time ago....

[hockeytigers]

Thanks to all of you that have posted pictures of your mancave's...you have inspired me!

I completed the cave, but I have only decorated my office...I hope you enjoy. I decorated the office in a way that when I get sick of what is on display, I can easily change everything. The theme for this month is current players...

The items that you see are all game used. Some of the items are mine from my playing days and the remaining items are from some of my friends or favorite kickers/punters. I teach punting and kicking to high school, college, and NFL hopefulls so you will see a theme with my collection...its all punters/kickers. I bring jerseys to my camps so that the kids can learn about some of the greats of the game that play their position.

Just in case you are interested, the current inventory of the room is as follows...
-Robbie Gould's throwback from last year
-Adam Vinatieri's Colts jersey from 2007
-Shane Lechler's Raiders jersey with the AFL Patch
-Ryan Longwell's Vikings jersey with the 50th Anniversary Patch
-Eddie Murray's jersey and pants from 1981-82
-Jason Hanson's jersey and pants with the Lions 75th Season Patch
-Eddie Murray's cleats
-John Kasey's cleats
-Mick Nugent's cleats
-Jan Stenerud's shoulder pads.
-Autographed photos of Ray Guy and Jan Stenerud
-My helmets, and Gator Bowl jersey (my favorite piece in the room)

The closet contains another 150 jerseys and pants. The top section is for current players and the bottom section is for jerseys of guys that have retired. I am always looking for new punting and kicking items to add to the collection. Please let me know if you have anything that you feel would look great in my office. Hope you enjoy...

I really want to steal that "window" display! What a great way to display a jersey from both sides. How do you open it?

[gadsden86]

Lots of great rooms guys still need to go threw like 10 + pages.
Here is my room partial room. Ever changing. Not much gameused stuff yet but just got into them in about october or so. Will have my next jersey before x-mas. Also moving next sept and will have my own man cave.

Will get more pics later and this stuff is always moving around.

nice start my friend, im still fairly young and live in a apartment, so i dont really have the opportunity to frame my jerseys yet and place them somewhere. I rather wait till i buy a house

[hockeytigers]

I really want to steal that "window" display! What a great way to display a jersey from both sides. How do you open it?

The one side is nailed in. The side inside the office has 8 small screws that go through the moulding which is holding the glass in. I didn't know how it would turn out because of the size, but I think it came out pretty good.

Thanks,
Chris

[perlman9]

Chris, what an awesome display! I was a collecting mess for a while, not sure how to focus my collection. But after joining the forum and reading about your focus as well as others, I decided to just do former MSU players and my favorite team, TB Bucs. Hopefully we will be moving from our condo in to a house and I can have something similar to all the great rooms on here!

[gminletfitness]

Wow - That room is so incredible. I wish I had the space and resources to do something similar.

I don't see your Chipper Jones jersey; did you sell it?

[frikativ54]

I'm trying to decide if having all that stuff in your bedroom helps or hinders in the female department :) Obviously we all love it here!

I think it depends upon the lady. My brother's g/f for example totally loves football, so there's no problem. But his last one couldn't have cared less about sports. Just find one who either likes memorabilia or who doesn't care either way. :)

[frikativ54]

I don't see your Chipper Jones jersey; did you sell it?

Never mind. I see your Jones jersey now. I missed it at first glance.

[ncbadges]

All the rooms are nice...but Kyle, your MUSEUM is simply awesome! You have done very well, my friend!

God Bless
Joe

[kylehess10]

Thanks guys! I'm definitely going for the hall-of-fame type look, hence why I have cards next to every item to describe what it is and when it was used. I'm hoping to make my collection even bigger as the years go by; but it looks like I could use my own house soon, lol

Kyle very nice room and displays are awsome.

[rwoodsbats]

Not quite done with the room yet but this wall is finished. 117 Mariners bats on the wall. The picture doesn’t do the wall color justice. My girlfriend took her Mariners alternate teal jersey to the hardware store and had them custom match the jersey and the 2x4’s are pretty close to the color of the Mariners batting helmets. 50432

Not quite done with the room yet but this wall is finished. 117 Mariners bats on the wall. The picture doesn’t do the wall color justice. My girlfriend took her Mariners alternate teal jersey to the hardware store and had them custom match the jersey and the 2x4’s are pretty close to the color of the Mariners batting helmets.

Very impressed. Your collection and display of it looks amazing. Great job!

[OaklandAsFan]

any chance I can get a closeup of the bat racks you built? I used to buy wooden holders from Home Depot but they discontinued making them so now I need to start doing customs and need to replace what I have as well so it all matches.

[rwoodsbats]

Thank you Randy, I appreciate the compliment!! It's great finally getting to see almost all of my bats on one wall.

(Oakland) I would be happy to send you some photo's of my rack.... email me so I can get your address and I will shoot some for you tonight and send them off.

The V shaped cases that have bats in one and baseballs in the other are pretty sweet. They almost look made for the bats.

Russ -

Those are available actually!!! ;)

They are made to go on 'pillars' or a corner wall. The doors open on either side and they wrap around the pillar or corner. The backs only have glass on the top part and the bottoms are open. The have adjustable glass shelves and glass sides and topps.

what method did you use to get the photos blown up and high res? email me or reply here please

thanks bud

[maverick14]

Just curious. For those of you who display your jerseys out in the open.
Do they not get dusty after a while? Can't having them out in the open after a while "wear them out" with the everyday dirt and grime around the room?

[rdeversole]

What brand of jersey display cases do you have there?



My Green Monster Scoreboard is still under construction (graphics), but everything else in the room is just about where I want it.

[419redsoxfan32]

The jersey cases are the QVC Black Large Display Cases offered by Penzolli/Savage out of Sturgis, Michigan. They are 31 x 41 x 2.25. The cases run about $140 through their Ebay store, or $225 retail through them directly. I highly recommend using their Ebay store. Shipping is a bit high at $45-$50, but the cases look so nice it makes the price worth it. They are locking as well, which I like. Their phone number is 269.651.8124.

Thank you to all for the kind words about my room. It is truly a labor of love! Thanks again, JP.

[cubbs1232]

well im not completely done. im going to build a couple lockers in the closet area and take out the cumputer and desk to make room for a tv and ps3. plus thatll give me more room to display all the stuff in the spare bedroom. trying to get those jumbo world series tickets singled signed by players on that world series team.

[Shipp_96]

Here's more of my Cowboy room.. Got booted to the downstairs room...

I agree with some of the other comments, though I loathe the Cowboys that is one beautiful setup you have!

[Shipp_96]

So this room, which is my office in the new home, is still a work in progress.

I have recently purchased four new game worn helmets that I have to find room for, plus three game worn jerseys I need framed as well.

Agree with everyone else... JHunt28 and 419RedSox... AMAZING.

The Jets and Red Sox rooms look insane. When I start to post pics of my cave, I see these rooms and realize I need to add more stuff before I post photos! I have an entertainment center that has some openings, still havent thought of a good way to utilize them.

Great job guys.

Very cool way you are displaying your gear! Maybe i will try to wrestle that Pennington jersey away from you!...LOL

[Shipp_96]

In the last two weeks I have added so much new game worn gear that I redid my shelves, and realize I now need another one! I admit it is a problem I like having :rolleyes:. Here is an updated photo from today. All helmets except the Steelers one are game worn. The cleats and gloves are either worn or issued.

Just took a quick shot of the man cave for this post. Still have some hanging up and organizing to do. Enjoy.

[TriplexXxSports]

Here is the last 5 weeks in the making. Fully blown Bears Man Cave, complete w/ 4 gaming systems, theater surround sound (built in), Custom built entertainment/display system w/ 55" HDTV. All new electric & lighting, and the rest of the works.

I did this entirely myself. Every screw, stud, drywall sheet, brush stroke, etc. I have stuck some before and after shots so you can see the fun it in all. Mind you, that from start to finish (minus the memorabilia) w/ everything included, I did this myself all for under $4000!

The only thing missing is the rest of the jersey displays along the blank wall, and new carpet, but those are coming soon.

Enjoy.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've been in the construction business for 15 years, so to hire someone else seems absurd to me. Plus, I know what I'm doing, and what I am going after.

Man caves are always a work in progress, but at least now I can enjoy A) my basement, and B) enjoy my collection. Plus, its not to bad to show off either.

[tom1315]

Matthew, what a fine job! Very nice paint colors and how your items are arranged is first class. Thank you for sharing the before and after.

I had my helmets, a few jerseys and bats in my office. My company was sold mid 4th Q 2011 so what I had on shelves in my office are now in the guest BR. I may borrow some of your ideas...very classy.

[snick33]

Ya the helmets are not Gu. Poss the Harrison shell is but not really sure so cant say. Ive collected so much signed stuff. Now its like I cant find anything I like. So its on to GU. I like the challenge to find items. Plus they are a one of a kind.

[Dolphinsuperbowl55]

Yeah snick that neon sign is freaking cool piece man. I was going to buy a phins neon. If only they made the 40th anny one. Where did you pick up the sign? You did really nice basement work snick.




-Mick

[Dolphinsuperbowl55]

Once you get some game used shirts I can recommend an awesome display case at an inexpensive number. Best of all they come with clear hangers, so no pins and needles needed by a pro framer. They have black borders too so they would pop with a Steelers jersey.

[bama0037]

Dolphins where can I find the frames you are talking about? I hate having to pin the game used in current shadow boxes I use. Thanks John

I found the neon on e bay. A crhistmas gift from the wife. Got the guy to meet me rather than ship it. But even still it was broke. So then I had to pay to get it fixed. But worth it. A bud rep told me they only made 75 of them.

Thank you John! The 'Bama helmet is #39. And your collection of 26 Alabama helmets is amazing! My 'alma mater' is NC State and I have four from that school and chasing a new red base one with the white block 'S" letters and stripes they brought back and wore in two games last season. They also wore these in the April 2012 Spring game.

Also - "eximofab" - your Toronto Maple Leafs' collection..."WOW" and very nice! I would love to know your secret of having that many mannequins to display those jerseys. I have one and that was a huge negotiation with my bride!

Hi guys, been lurking and admiring for a while; just adding a few pictures of my Mississippi State room now that I have everything hung up. I have just a few game-used items (posting those on the Show Us Your College Items thread). Most of my collection is comprised of older items (I'm an MSU history buff) like pennants, programs, newspapers, basically anything I can find, since there isn't a whole lot of Mississippi State stuff out there...

56214
56215
56216

Two of my favorite sort-of game used items:
1. a collage of all my basketball ticket stubs from when I was a student (2003-2008) - included an SEC Championship, 3 SEC West Titles, 3 NCAA and an NIT Appearance. I'm a big basketball fan.

56217

2. Some bleacher wood removed from the football stadium in the 1970s. An old family friend passed this down and I turned it into the tops of a computer desk, a bench, and our foyer table. You can see the seat numbers etched into the wood. These are my favorite pieces - they're just so unique.

56218

Also, thanks to hiramman for a decent portion of my collection (including the jersey seen above)

That desk and bench you made of the old stadium bleachers are simply awesome! What a cool way to practically display such a unique keepsake like that. I also like the Dwight K. Schrute bobble-head. Oh back when The Office was funny...

@Klattsy Nice set up. Clean, and I have always liked the Aussie theme of GU memorabilia.

[GoGators]

This is my newly remodeled reception area for my custom jersey framing business in Cincinnati...Let me know what you think. Anything you see is actually for sale too. I'll post pictures of my man cave at the house later today!

I recognize that background. You must be the eBay seller who just sold me the Andre Caldwell Bengals jersey. Can't wait to get it. Looking forward to seeing pics of your man cave.

Thanks mate! Shame to have some stuff in the cupboard but keeps it safe and out of the light.

Decided to update the changes to my collection and display room. Finally went out and bought a decent camera again tonight!

[hiramman]

Hey Ryan!! The room looks awesome!!! Glad to see some of my old stuff come out of the attic and be displayed!! I'm so glad I hung on to all of that stuff especially the old 70's tear-away jerseys. Everything looks great. Keep me updated when you get new stuff displayed. Love seeing the old maroon & white!! Go Dawgs!!(the real dawgs!!)

Hey Shipp

How did you manage a current game used ECU helmet? I'd like one of those myself!

Thanks for sharing.

Hey ncbadges,

I won this off of CBS Auctions. They represent a ton of NCAA schools and honestly 1/2 the college helmets I own have been won off of there. I actually won this helmet at the beginning of the month. The school offered four helmets, and allowed you to request how the coach assigned to the helmet you won would personalized it to you. I have attached some better photos of the helmet signed by Defensive Coordinator Brian Mitchell.

@Tom, thanks for the compliments as always!

[ncbadges]

Wow that's really cool. Can you shoot me an email? Id like to ask you some more questions about it and I can't get through to your message box.

God bless

Hey Shipp love the collection. I love the daryll clark pic. He was one of my favorites at PSU.

Thanks for the compliments gadsden86! Yeah I love Clark also, really nice guy. The helmet in the case under the signed collage was also signed by him, Jordan Norwood and Deon Butler. The SI I have on the wall beside it with Daryll on the cover is signed too.

There is a guy in Harrisburg that runs a shop that know his family personally (I verified this from an Alum buddy of mine) and he has several worn cleats by Daryll that he also signed. If you are interested let me know and I can get you his information.

[joelsabi]

I wanted to join my favorite thread for a long time. This is my first completed wall.

This last photo is a photo I have owed 3AROD13 for a long time. A better shot than what I posted originally on the forum. I plan on using a zoom on each item on the website I will create, possibly using hotspots.

Joel, very nice! Is that ball his "1st Career Grand Slam?"

[joelsabi]

Yes, it's the baseball right below the tagging of ARod 1995 ST Jersey, bought from Rob L. I am hoping if I click the image of the GS ball, a popup will show additional information about the ball.

Thanks Tony for the compliment.

I would appreciate if anyone can advise me on putting up plexiglass on the book shelves to minimize dusting and childproofing the area.

The shelves are adjustable/removable except for the second to the bottom shelf, the level at where the cleats are. So I was thinking of two plexiglass cut to size for each shelf, top is 3/5 the height and bottom 2/5 of height. Would that be the best solution instead of one large piece for each shelf? I would really appreciate advise on this.

Thanks man thoes would look cool. AN idea on a cost?

[AWA85]

Joel, I used the plexiglass route on my bookcases and it turned out great. I am sure others have tried something a little different, but I just picked up some Velcro and cut it to fit a few different places on my bookcase and attach the other side on the plexiglass. This has kept dust and pet hair out and is easy to take off and put back on at anytime.

[Shipp_96]

I believe it was $250 for the pair (there were quite a few pairs). They were/are signed and PSA/DNA certified.

Though I don't do facebook, here is their page, it's shows some of the signings and their store plus contact information:

Thanks. As much as i love him as a player in college i think 250 is a bit more than i can spend on cleats.
Will keep an eye on that page though thanks for the link.

Very nice, clean display. My style. Thanks for sharing the pics. I am starting to run out of wall space and looking for ideas of maximizing use and minimizing clutter.

[Tyrcha]

Nice Briggs and Dez! Nice to see another Bears collector out there. I would love to see pics of those Bears helmets that you were taking about. If you feel like sharing drop me an email at Scott (at) Tyrcha (dot) com

Bear Down!

jm,

Very nice display!! Still jealous of your Grace jersey. Are the Taj and Hinrich gamers? I just dove into the Bulls game jerseys with a Deng from the auction table at the last game I was at.

thanks for sharing!!!

WOW!

[Murph4Prez]

Not really a whole lot... my Murph wall in my office.

[Murph4Prez]

Tried to post from my phone... guess I will have to try again from home.

[Murph4Prez]

OK, let's try this again...

My Murphy Wall... Not a game jersey, but I wore it to the Braves Fantasy Camp reunion in Atlanta last April and he signed it for me right on my back!

The bat is from an '82 Braves reunion... the bat was specially made for attendees, which is why my name is on it. The bat is signed by Murph, Phil Niekro, Bruce Benedict, Gene Garber, and Bob Horner.

The ball is from the Braves camp... Murph and I played catch between innings with it, and I had him sign it for me after the day's games.

[Murph4Prez]

Here's my Gator Wall...

Poster from the 09 season signed by Meyer, Tebow, Strong, Addazio, Brantley and Jordan Reed.

Helmet is an 08 team signed helmet. I live close to Gainesville so I got a bunch of autographs after practices. Funny things is, it has two Heisman winners on it... Cam Newton was still a member of the team!

I actually really like your collection, both your football and baseball. Very focused, and all obtained in person. Nice! I know whenever I get things like that they mean more to me.

Sucks living in PA

[Murph4Prez]

Thanks guys! I have some other items, but haven't displayed them yet.

I have a pair of Murph game-used Phillies pants... not sure what to do with those!!!

I have a David Nelson pro-day used Nike Dri-fit shirt signed. I also have a pair of Justin Williams game used Nike Pro Combat cleats signed.

Another unique item I picked up was Chris Rainey's 2008 SEC Championship Game Watch. It's a Fossil, and he signed the box the watch came in.

Just need more room!!! I'm a teacher so I don't make a lot of money!

[happyyoungster]

Finally, pulled the trigger and had one built...
(Thanks to the fellow collectors who helped answer my questions)

[CampWest]

Beautiful wall case Nick... now you can never move... haa...

I'm actually in process of remodeling the basement... would love to put one of these in. We'll see what the wife thinks. :rolleyes:

Looks great.

That looks great! Wish I had the room to do something like that.

Very well done Nick. Very classy and simple in design. I especially like the display of the bats, including the split bat.

What is the full uniform on the full manniquin? Minor League?

[maverick14]

Amazing job on the Braun display.
Clean cut and great items, well done!

[rdeversole]

Nicely done! If you don't mind, what's a ballpark figure on the cost of building this display?

[HawaiiSportsNut]

Nick... When is the opening of your museum? Very impressive display.

[Klattsy]

Looks really good Nick. Well done. Very jealous.

[packfan84]

That Braun display is sick! Nice work man.

[Nnunnari]

Nick- great display, almost identical to what I have in mind.

Thanks, everyone.
The uniform on the full mannequin is a Negro League "Milwaukee Bears" worn in 2009.

[Tyrcha]

Hey Nick,
That's a great display! How much did that set you back?

[Samets]

I wish I had room in my basement for something like that!

[allstarsplus]

Nick, that is an amazing display. I hope Ryan Braun sees pictures of your display.

Do you plan on adding any more pieces of his in the future?
