    Caseworks has some really nice wood/plexi wall frames for bases.

    If you are talking full-size pitching rubbers and homeplates, call Steiner Sports as they have made displays for them.

    A game used home plate has a huge base to it that is 3 inches high and weighs approximately 24 pounds without any dirt stuck in it.

    Here is a picture of a MLB game used pitching rubber. I think they make them so they "could" be used on all 4 flat sides of the pitching rubber.

    I know all teams have their own way of doing things, but I know the Detroit Tigers use only 1 pitching rubber for the entire season, so I would assume they flip it and use all 4 sides. The Tigers also only use 1 home plate per season(I own the Comerica Park home plate from 2009) unlike teams like the Yankees and Red Sox that only use a home plate for a series or two.

    I have bought a bunch of cases from Homeplate Heroes and they do a great job including custom cases for items like catcher's gear, etc. It may be worth giving them a call.
