Nick,

Great display! What are the dimensions of the display and how did you secure the base inside?

Thanks,

Sorry, never tried any display with shoes... in fact, I never had the urge to buy game worn shoes. I have to draw the line somewhere...lol...

My first thought would be to pick up or assemble a 3-D acrylic case large enough to hold the photo against the back wall and the shoes would come forward on the bottom of the base. This may jut out a little far however... it could look good on top of a shelving unit but probably not be much suited for wall mount.

Very nice! (Borat voice)

I have been giving some thought on what I can do with a pair of game used shoes framed in with an 8x10 of the player wearing the shoes. You ever tried that or has anyone on the board done it?

I found a nicely done line score / box score for this game on espn.com and printed off a small part of the web page onto white cardboard.

Thought you did some graphic arts and wanted to know what program you used.

Did you consider using the entire boxscore? I have seen this with other displays for specific game items.

Your display is awesome.

NIcely done. Did you make the scoreline yourself?

All,

I remember writing about a game used base shadow-box display case I was building many months ago here. After shelving this project for some time, I decided I should finally complete it... so I got the tools out & finished it today.

I took photos for you guys to show you how it turned out, and possibly you might be able to get some ideas from it. The display includes a game used base from the Subway Series game played on May 21st, 2005, where the Mets defeated Randy Johnson & the Yankees 7-1. Mike Piazza, Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran and David Wright went a combined 9 for 15 in the game and drove in 6 runs. The only run they didn't account for was a solo HR by none other than Miguel Cairo.

Also framed with the display is a full unused ticket from the game, a line score, and an actual photo from the game showing a good side profile of the actual base itself.

Enjoy!!
