Re: Uniform/Jersey Collections - store or display?

yes, it is a 1993 game used thome. i started collecting some of his things back in 1995-1997. a lot of the stuff is gus bell, buddy bell, david bell. the braves jersey is a 1963 milwaukee braves gus bell jersey that i need to restore. basically i collect solid players who played in cleveland, who are not going to screw up and play baseball the correct way. buddy bell, jim thome and now grady sizemore.

I have shoulder pads on the forms. The forms I have the most of are the #82/S.

I got the best price on new pads from Dick's Sporting goods. I bought the Bike Viper's in L & XL.

Football jerseys just do not look right without the shoulders being filled out properly.

Re: Uniform/Jersey Collections - store or display?

i put some in display cases and others i hang under plastic on a wire rack that was purchased from lowes/home depot. the racks are nice because you can put hats or balls on the top display shelf.

Shawn, sweet display - in fact, great ideas from everyone. Where did you get the frames that you have the Barber jerseys displayed from? thanks

Re: Uniform/Jersey Collections - store or display?

All the jerseys are game worn, w/ the exception of a very few that were worn preseason (for a couple NFL jerseys). All the helmets were game worn w/ the exception of the 1972 Hawkeyes which was a helmet lamp at one time. I had my friends at Helmet Hut put in the suspension. It'll do till I can find a gamer.

And yes, both of those are Marion Barber game worn jerseys on the wall. One from his Gopher days, and one Cowboys rookie jersey.

Thanks for the kind words! Shawn

Long time reader, 25 year collector, first post. Nice sports rooms. Here's my example of a proper college football display. Please copy and paste this link;

Re: Uniform/Jersey Collections - store or display?

I keep about 50 of my favorites displayed, folded, in a upright case with a sliding door. I usually have 6 maniquins on display that I change the jerseys on pretty regular. The remainder of my jerseys I keep in a cedar chest. I do not leave this room exposed to outside light very often.

Everything that I have mounted in picture frames are behind UV protective glass. I don't worry a lot about dust. As long as they are clean and dry that come off easy

The maniquins can be bought from National Equipment in Kansas City, MO. They sent me a catalog and were easy to do business with.

Roger

Roger, i went to the web site but do not see any maniquins that have broad shoulders like yours...do you have anything extra under your jerseys to broaden the shoulders?

Thanks

Re: Uniform/Jersey Collections - store or display?

Swoboda I would love to see that collection..Burnitz and Ventura were 2 of my favorite players..I use photobucket.com for all my pics..Its easy to use if you need any assistance give me a shout..

Untill I figure out how to properly download photos,here's what I did with items I had belonging to one player. With no real intent ,I found myself with a g/u jersey and then two g/u bats belonging to robin ventura. You now become on the lookout for additional items that can round out a shadowbox collection. I have a 4' x 4' x 5" homemade shadowbox,,hinged at the top(plexiglass and pine to keep it as light as possible.) I then acquired white g/u pants w/ripped dirt stain. Pants hanging vertically on the left w/2 bats also vertically in front of them.Jersey on the right with 4 PSA rookie cards at the bottom right with a newspaper article on foamboard. Now a game used batting glove or Topps signed contract will finish this presentation off perfectly.
I have a similar accumulation of items for Viola,Burntitz,Payton. But sadly,all too few walls in the downstairs family room

Re: Uniform/Jersey Collections - store or display?

Here is mine all Mets.I have since aquired more and yes space is a problem

Re: Uniform/Jersey Collections - store or display?

Jerseys are the most difficult to display because of display space and the large amount of room they take up. I have 4 individual jersey cases on the wall for 4 fav's, the rest unfortunately are in a plastic bag in my closet until I come up with some alternatives...

Re: Uniform/Jersey Collections - store or display?

Some very nice displays. Thanks for the photos Kyle, Roger, & gatorcollector. I'm sure everyone loves seeing how other collectors display their collections. Anymore ides and/or photos?

Re: Uniform/Jersey Collections - store or display?

Mine were in the closet until I took over the bonus room upstairs a few months ago. Baseball and basketball on one side, football on the other.
