Re: Man Cave Make Over

Thanks for sharing. You can clearly see the difference on the shelves' quality, and they look really nice!

Is the 1902 Cleveland hat you have game used and from the same player as the jersey/pants? If so, where did you get it from? Was it directly from Kris? I have the jersey, pants & belt, but have not been able to find the hat.

Thanks!

Yes the 1902 uni is from Kris - it's Giambi's. The hat is an unused 'extra'. I told Kris for the cost of the uni, I wanted a hat as well and he dug one up, so it came with everything else. Need to buy some black baseball socks to finish it out.

Very nice! I did the same thing and picked up one of the Detolf cases to display some of my Zimmerman items in. I still have to add the display light to the top, but I really like how it turned out.

Thanks! Yeah, the Detolf are inexpensive, quick and easy to assemble and they look really nice.

Also, the shelf spacing is awesome for helmets or larger items!

Re: Man Cave Make Over

awesome setup. I just did the same thing on shelving. you always think you have enough room until a few months later when you find new items lol

I just had a shadow box coffee table custom built, cant wait to see how it looks in the man cave with some of my game used items in it

Thanks! Let's see that table when it's done!

Never nice! Can't wait until my basement is finished so I can move my stuff into it.

Re: Man Cave Make Over

Slowly swapping out (upgrading) all of my Walmart 'Lockers' ($25.00 - 5 Shelf Black Bookcases) for IKEA 'Lockers' ($150.00 'Hemnes' - Espresso Bookcases).

Taller, Wider, Deeper - and made of REAL Wood, not particle board. Look much nicer as well.

Also selling off my Oakley Cases and buying IKEA 'Detolf' Cases (only $69 ea!) as they are easier to rearrange and look nice with the Hemnes Bookcases.

I also got one 'Pax' corner closet unit (Musial Jersey) to tie it together - can't fit a second one in the other corner...

Just wanted to share if anyone needs ideas.

** On the Hemnes cases, I mounted the 'fixed' shelf lower so the opening could accomodate my bat/ball cases from Michaels. **
