Batting Helmet Display Cases: NEED HELP!

Re: Batting Helmet Display Cases: NEED HELP!

Here's a stand on eBay, but probably too tall to fit in a display case:

I think this case better than the one you posted. Although it's advertised for football helmets, I think it would also work for batting helmets:

My preference is to display helmets without cases. However, if your helmet is fragile due to cracks and you need to protect it because it will be in a place where people will pick it up and handle it unless it's under a case, then I can see the value in protecting it under a case.

I can vouch for that case I have bought a couple from that seller and they look great.

Re: Batting Helmet Display Cases: NEED HELP!

The case on eBay looks good. It also didn't mention having a stand for the helmet. I would suggest that you also purchase a stand, especially if the helmet has a single ear flap. The stand would also take the weight of the bill of the helmet.

Yes - It is a single ear flap right-handed helmet. Where would I go about purchasing a stand? Is it better to just choose another option that already comes with a stand? I wouldn't know where to buy one. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

I just got a nice game-used batting helmet, and it is a treasure to me. I don't want any dust or dirt getting to it and want to display it in a way that lasts. The helmet has a crack in the bill and it could easily break into two pieces, if the case does not protect it.

I've been looking on this forum and on eBay for display options, and none has really appealed to me. Except for maybe this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Glass-Baseba...item45f3b8418f.

I'm not much of a do-it-yourself-er, so I'm not looking to build a display case from scratch. I'm more looking for a case that is easy to install and that will preserve this helmet.

Let me know what your thoughts are.

Thank you.
