Let's see some display room pics

[RKGIBSON]

This is my sport room. Mostly football with some Cardinal and Yankee baseball items. Framed on the wall are autographs of Musial, Ken Boyer, Mantle & Maris. The Boyer was obtained by writing the team in 1958 and asking for a signed picture,FREE. The case has some of my game used football jerseys. The top shelf is all Kevin Greene. Te jerseys on the wall are not gamers just autographed. And my favorite sons (only) gamers from 4th grade to college.

I am very impressed by he collections shown here and the inventive ways of displaying. The bat racks on he ceiling are really good.

Nice. Did you make that case with the Rams jersey ?

[thomecollector]

Well, Hicks did it again. Awesome! Hey ,Is that my Thome SI picture sitting in the floor ?????

Thomecollector,

I had that case made by a customer of mine that owns a big cabinet company in Alabama. It was a proto type made just for jerseys that I had thought about selling. The question all got down to, how would you ship it? So I have never done anything else with it.

[thomecollector]

That's true. Where do you live ?

[RKGIBSON]

I live in SE Missouri, Cape Girardeau, about 100 miles due south of St. Louis.

The only way we figured we could ship them was less glass. I have the UV protective glass in mine and it is 1/8" thick. I knw it would not make it off the first truck intact.

I've enjoyed seeing contributions to this thread since it got started...this is what our hobby is all about! We moved to a new home a few months ago, and I finally finished my "sports room" this week. I went with the slatwall/tempered glass solution mentioned in another thread. Not the cheapest way to go, but definitely worth the time and money. My wife is a lifelong Cardinals fan and I'm a lifelong Cubs fan....so she has her side and I have mine...

Rob,

Nice room! I was wondering about your Pujols items. Are any of the Pujols items other than the glove on display autographed? Also, were you able to photomatch the Carolina Clubs pujols bat in your collection? And where is the 2004 Pujols World Series bat?

[RobSteinmetz]

Thanks for the kind words. I'll post some updated display room pictures...these are really outdated. In terms of your Pujols questions, I don't have a Carolina Clubs bat in my collection (never have). My 2005 home Pujols jersey is autographed, as was my 2001 home rookie jersey (I have since sold the rookie jersey to a friend who made me an offer I couldn't refuse). In the photos currently posted, the 2004 World Series bat is barely visible in the lower right corner of the Cardinals case. Updated pictures coming soon...

Hi Rob ,
Very nice display room (also nice items in the cases) . Actually looks better than The Ted Williams Museum in the Trop . Your cases are tons nicer and look professionally made .

Wait a minute ! I thought Cardinal fans hated Cub fans and visa versa ??????

A Cubs fan married a Cardinal's fan? Love trumps all ..... LOL
