Rob,

Those are beautiful displays, but why does your wife get more uniforms than you -- what's the deal with that?!

That's what I'm talking about. I was thinking along the same line as Rob. I work for a glazing contractor. It would probably cost me a lot less. Great job.

I wish it were the other way around...but the Cubs stuff is much harder to find! I tell most people that buying Cardinals stuff is my strategy...I can continue building my collection, and she thinks the stuff is "for her".

Rob,

Very impressive! I like the cornering of the display for the Cardinals items. Great use of wall space! Talk about an ice-breaker when visitors go into your sports room to shoot some pool!

Attached are scans of my Red Sox collection. The rarest piece is the "Smoking Permitted" sign.

Rob,
Is the McGee jersey for sale or trade? I have a friend that has been looking for one for a while?

Re: Let's see some display room pics

One suggestion for all of you - look in your local phone book for "Store Fixtures". Almost every major city has at least one store that carries clothing racks, hangers, display cases, etc. all intended for retail. They usually also rent out the large glass display cases (think jewelry/watch cases from department stores) for conventions, trade shows and other similar events. Many of these stores also carry 'used' store fixtures that you can get at great prices. I saw one case that would be great for autographed hockey pucks, although it was really a doughnut case.

These stores are also great sources for inexpensive slatwall and related hardware, and even mannequins or body forms for jerseys. I have purchased a clothing rack for my jerseys, called a "29 ball spiral" which doesn't take a lot of space and only cost $25.

My point is that you can find some great display cases and related items for good prices. Especially on the used stuff, they always seem willing to negotiate on price - one warning, the places that sell these items are usually very chaotic looking and may not appear to be organized - you may have to do a little digging through some boxes of wood hangers to find the 'best' condition ones, etc.

Enjoy, and let me know if any of you are successful!

Re: Let's see some display room pics

Nate, Hi. In reference to my Red Sox jerseys, I guess the best jersey in the collection is the jersey from 1975. It is all-original and was worn by Johnny Pesky. The rest are jerseys that were worn by common players. My goal was to get a RS jersey from every year the team wore some sort of commemorative patch. Jim
