My displays in the game room...
wow looking at all these rooms......i cant wait to buy my first house......of course in many many years from now....
I know its messy but it's my room and I like it. The other walls display my Eagles and Red Sox collections. Since I'm retired, I guess you can now call it my office.

Hi Everyone,
Great thread, Everybody has some great rooms!
Mine is a work in progress, someday I'll get around to posting some pics.
Best,
Jessie
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR METS CATCHER ITEMS and bats from: Bruce Berenyl, Ed Lynch, Randy Niemann, Rick Anderson, John Mitchell as well as from members of the 2000 Mets
I meant good pics!!!! These are lousy and old. The room looks much better now, but I can't figure out how to upload the digital camera pics at the right size.
Oh, well. You'll all have to come over!!!
Best,
Jessie

Thanks for posting all the great images everyone. Great looking displays......they have inspired me.
Not the best pics unfort., but finally was able to display some of my older 1900's-era gloves and a 19th century bat. Paired them with original baseball photos and period cards.
Found inexpensive shadow-box frames with magnetic lids at "Winners/Homesense (might be a Canadian-only chain?). They flip open fron the front and allow for easy access and quick changes of items on display.
Next room on the list will have some 1980's/'90's game used Blue Jays items. chris
Okay guys... I decided to revive a few of these 'Man Cave' / 'Trophy Room' / 'Home Museum' forums since I recently updated my Man Cave...
I used the ideas of some others and purchased 4 of the 5-Shelf Black Bookcases from Wally World (Wal-Mart) for $30 ea and 2 of the short 3-Shelf Black Bookcases for $20 ea and used my existing Mannequin Collection and other cases to create a more uniform and 'flowing' feel to my 'Personal Museum'...
1st, I had to remove my Nolan Ryan Jerseys from these frames and moved the frames to my Loft / Office to show off the Modano jerseys:

Joel -
Glad you like it... as far as the size, the basement is unfinished currently , so it appears that I have more space than I do...
When the wife and I went house hunting years back, I said I had TWO requirements - a 2 car garage that we can actually park our cars in (we live in Colorado - snow, winters, sleet, etc...) and either an extra bedroom, or basement where I could put all of my stuff...

Very Nice Basement Man Room.When I get a House I want Something just like that.
