Jersey Shadowbox - Which One?
I have been looking at jersey shadowboxes and have narrowed it down to a couple. Firstly, there is the Homeplate Heroes jersey display case.
The pros are that the craftsmanship is outstanding, and I really trust their work. The cons are that perhaps the acrylic hanger would be bad for the jersey long-term. I wish the hanger could be curved more to simulate real shoulders. I'm also not sure about the way the sleeves hang and whether that would be good for the jersey.
The second display case that I have been looking at is from Freedom Display Cases. I like the hanger and the way the jersey is curved. However, I have read that wood could discolor the jersey over time. I also wonder if my size 46 jersey would be too big for the case.

My thoughts are you could make that first case for 1/5 of that price.

Re: Jersey Shadowbox - Which One?
I like the first one much better but that price seems ridiculous.
Have you looked into Caseworks?? I've bought their cases for my baseballs and like them alot.
Here is a link to a jersey case at much more reasonable price similar to what you're looking at.

Re: Jersey Shadowbox - Which One?
I'd go with the first one. They are on eBay for $450 with free shipping:

Neither.
You're from the Seattle area, correct?
Lake City Framing. They do work for sports team and celebrities. Their work is top notch and is approx $150 less than the Mounted Memories. That would include UV protected glass, double mat, team logo etc.

Re: Jersey Shadowbox - Which One?
For $450 you could go to a local frame shop and have a custom frame made. you may not have the option of changing the jersey as I dont know if they could do the opening front as shown in option 1. But for sure fit would not be a problem. I am going to try to attach a photo of the jersey frame I had custom made for my autographed jersey, lets see if it works......
