The shadowbox I have has a built in hanger with the jerseys hanging free. I can post detailed upclose photos later.

Re: Uniform/Jersey Collections - store or display?

Question for those of you with jerseys in the shadow boxes. What's the best way to attach the jersey to the back of the shadow box without damaging the jersey?

Chris,
Are those all Astros bats ? Any Thome in there ? Roger

Roger,

No Thomas bats at the moment! I used to get a lot of Indians items, but once he moved to Chicago it became more difficult for me. Ton answer your question - 99% of the bats in the room are Astros. All the bats hanging vertically around the room (125 to be exact on all 4 walls) are Astros bats dating from 1962 to 2007. The ones in tubes on the wall include some 500 HR/3000 Hit Club members, but also some of the more unique Astros bats such as 2004 Clemens, 1983 Ryan, Bagwell 399th HR Bat, and photomatched bats of Carlos Beltran and Craig Biggio. All displays have been custom made by my father.

Thanks for the compliments!

Here are some pictures from my Astros Room of the House. I have about 160+ bats on display at any time, 30+ jerseys, and other items. I utilize Mannequins, locker style rack, a frame my father made, and a few just hang on closet doors. Attached are pics from the four corners of the room and some close-ups:

Hiramman,

I had a local banker today tell me of a guy that somehow gets all the used maniquins from department stores. He says he has hundreds. I will should have his name and contact info next week. I'll post it whenever that happens, after I get some first of course.

Wow, some awesome photos, awesome displays and some beautiful jerseys. I love seeing everyone's collections. Keep 'em coming.

Thanks Roger for the heads up on the manaquin info. I've already gotten a catalog and hope to order a few shortly.

I have found that dowels are very useful for displaying basketball jerseys.
