Re: Show Off Your Nelwy Renovated Memorabilia Rooms
Thanks for all of the kind words on our basement and the displays. I've received a number of questions on the glass in the display cases, so I figured that I would post a reply to the board for others that are wondering the same thing.
I decided to go with 6 separate pieces of plexi glass instead of convention glass. They slide next to each other on each given side on tracks provided by the glass company. There were a couple of reasons that I went with the plexi over the glass: (a) Cost. Glass would have been ~$1,500 plus the track costs. Plexi was ~$250. (b) Weight. The glass would have been WAY heavier and could have bowed the case over time. (c) Safety. With three little kids I was not going to risk the glass falling and shattering on them.

^Thanks for the info, is there any glare through the plexi? And how about the lighting how and what did you use? Looks Great!

There is a total of 9 low voltage puck lights in the case (available at any hardware store or Amazon). It does not get too warm in the case with the lights on, and I really do not see a glare with the plexi. Word of warning, make sure that the puck lights are securely fashioned as you don't need that extremely hot bulb falling on one of your items in the case.

Re: Show Off Your Nelwy Renovated Memorabilia Rooms
Here is a shot of my room. It has been undergoing some changes recently. I am running out room for stuff and wnat to maximize the sapce as best as I can. My focus is The Ohio State Buckeyes and the New York Yankees, my two favorite teams. The Lemieux jersey is a gamer, photomatched to the picture hanging to it's right.
I also collect hockey gamers and have a closet full of them.
Enjoy.
