Thank you. Yeah, that thing has more holes than the American Legal System. It is definitely the 2nd, if not the 1st, most beat jersey I have come across.

Here is my latest project (posted in the jersey display case thread too). My reasoning behind this little project was because I have seen so many people pay top dollar for these casework cases, etc., only to have their jerseys looked crammed in there, creased, folded, and just not look very good to the eye.

Second, is seeing people cram, crease, and even pin jerseys in poster frames, or oversized picture frames, and stuff of that nature. This is all fine and dandy for a retail jersey, but gamers......

Looking around for quite awhile, all I have really come across (that looked like something I was interested in buying) was like 30"x34", or very close to that, and well into the hundreds of dollars. NO THANK YOU!

So, here is what I came up with. A 32"x40" frame x 3.75" deep. Made of 1x boards cut to size, assembled and painted. The door was made of frame stock (which I painted to match). A piece of 1/8" plexiglass, and the backing is a White Archival Matboard.

Here are a few pics of different jerseys to give you can see the different possibilities (I just used the same hooks and hanger, but you get the idea).

If anyone is interested in one contact me directly.

Nice. Plenty of room at the bottom for an 8X10 or two for displaying photomatches. I'll be getting with you on the blueprint for those.

Plexi can be a little pricey, though. Where do you get yours?

The Home Depot, yo. Or if I cannot handle cutting it myself, I have a shop here in town that supplies and custom cuts anything that I need.

Matt,
Great looking display case. I don't like the idea of cramming jerseys into small frames. I really like the way that looks. Unfortunately right now, all my jerseys are sitting in a bin until I can get a place to put my collection. I hope to either have mine in a frame like yours, or in the open in a entertainment center like the one you built. For future reference would you send the building plans for something like that?

Also, sweet Olsen and Briggs jerseys. With so much baseball stuff floating around here, it's good to see some quality football jerseys. Even though its the Bears!
