Plexiglass was bought at Home Depot. You can purchase a single sheet which measures 36 X 48 for $23.00 and cut it down (which I did to see how it would work) but then I ordered a 5 pack and that comes 32 X 40 for $79.97 (so $15.00 each) which you still have to cut off 2 inches, but alot cheaper and less waste. Hope that helps

Re: Jersey Display Cases
David,
To cut the plexiglass (the thickness I am using .093 or comonly measured .100) you can use a utility knife (razorblade) you measure. mark. make a straight line and then score the line. (keep cutting over the line appx 6-8 times. When you have gotten deep enough you can snap over a straight edge such as a 2x4. It's simple. Believe me.

Re: Jersey Display Cases
nice! how thick is the plexiglass and does it have any UV resistant properties?
also, for jerseys is it necessary to keep them in acid free environments?

GREAT, I am glad you like them. It is very easy to put together. The first one might take you about 1 hour or so, but if you end up doing 8 like I have, you get much faster!! This coming weekend I am going to do a number 9 for a Cubs flannel jersey I just bought, and if anyone can find me a SUTCLIFFE cubs jersey I would be able to make it an even 10!! Just had to throw it out there

The thickness of the plexiglass I chose to use is .093 also commonly called .100 (they round up)

sorry, but no UV resistant properties.
I have no idea about keeping jerseys in acid free environments.

Re: Jersey Display Cases
I think locks are an important issue. If I can talk my wife into letting me have jerseys displayed OUTSIDE of my sports room, they will have to have locks to keep kids out, etc.
justncase, regarding prices, I appreciate the heads up on costs. I doubt though, seriously, that anyone will use such a pricey case here. Way outta my league...
