Nice jerseys! Those 1996 with the McSherry patch you don't see those too often and you have a good one in Hundley (the year he broke the single season HR record for catchers I believe)

Re: Let's see some display room pics

Here is my home office. This is more of a working space as opposed to a show room. You will see my collection is comprised mainly of Pirates World Series players game used bats. I used to collect every Pirates bat under the sun but I have decided to whittle it down to one LVS and One Adirondack from every player on the 1960, 1971 and 1979 Buccos championship teams.

The goal is to ultimately have only the correct era bats as well. It is a work in progress. The bats get harder to find, more expensive to buy but more exciting to add to the wall!

You will also see a few large, signed canvas prints on the one wall. I am in the printing industry and I created these for my own pleasure (and got them signed). I gladly trade these canvas prints to other collectors in exchange for other collectibles.
Happy collecting!

Re: Let's see some display room pics

Marty, Nice bat displays! May I ask where you can get those metal displays. Most of them are gun rack wood style and you can only fit 5 bats spaced 3" apart! Your racks are nice and compact and you can fit more bats nicely space minimally aparts.

Thanks

Re: Let's see some display room pics

Gentlemen,
Thanks for the replies. The method that I use to display my bats (and other collectibles) is with slatwall.Slatwall is typically ordered in 4'x8' sheets and can be installed just as you would any other wooden sheet materials. Slatwall cimes standard in a 3" on center configuration. This is ideal for mazimizing you bat spacing AND allowing you display the bats in a horizontal fashion that makes for easier viewing and better for showcasing your gems.

The slatwall is very versatile. It comes in solid woods, wood veneers or colored formicas etc. The "grooves" can be painted or stained an accent color (from the factory) or you can also have snazzy metal inserts in the grooves. In addition there are a multitude of hanging hooks and other hardware that make your displays total modular and quickly changeable. You can convert a wall from 100 bats to 20 helmets, 10 footballs and 5 jerseys in no time.
What really looks slick is if you couple the slatwall with glass doors (with a depth to accomodate your collectibles). You get a museum like look with minimal expense.

If interested I can get more info on how and where to get slatwall and hardware.

Thanks,
Marty

Re: Let's see some display room pics

Thanks for the information Marty. So no nailing into sheetrock with the slatwalls. What a great and reconfigurable display option!
