Jersey Cases

[frikativ54]

Has anybody used the following jersey cases? I am interested in both, but I was wondering what you guys thought about the protection each offers to the jersey.

Does the hanger on the first option ruin the jersey sleeves?

Does the jersey on the second option hang too low so the bottom of it becomes wrinkled?

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot offer you any opinion on the ones you listed, but for that price you can do much better.

Here's one I picked up for $30 at Wally World......

Did you put the glass in that case yourself? I haven't seen anything like that at my Walmart.

It is a 5 shelf, black oak bookcase. I left out 2 shelves for the jersey area. I ripped down one shelf to 2" wide for a valance at the very top to hide the puck lights, which I added myself.

I got the plexiglass at Home Depot, cut it down to size, and used velcro strips to attach it to the bookcase. You can use screws but you have to have a drill/screwdriver handy every time you mess with it.

All said and done, I did 2 of these exact displays for under $100, w/ glass & lights.

Here's a link to the bookshelf if anyone is curious....

Check out www.JerseyPro.com in Baltimore. Their cases are fantastic. The website photos aren't great, but they are amazing in person and the jerseys hang freely on solid wood hangars.

TriplexXxSports, thanks for the reply and the link. Great job on the cases!

This is probably the best option for me. Where I live it's very hard to find a place that sell display cases of any kind. The only ones I see are usually for golfballs.

thanks

Got a picture of the top with the lights?
