    Really takes the fun out of the autograph hobby, this has really put a hault to my baseball autograph collection.

      On other idea that worked well for me is applying a 3M product to the windows. My bat room is on my third floor with dormer windows but it got substantial sun. I do not recall what it cost but a professional installer came out and put the film on the windows and it cut down on the harmful sun considerably. It is see through and almost unnoticeable and the only difference is when it is really sunny it looks a bit darker in the room. I still use ball cubes and uv protected glass on autographs where I can, but this was a great solution.

        I received my bat racks yesterday and have installed them. My Devil Rays display is near complete.....

        I have never been able to view all my bats without having to move a hundred bats or so.....

                      A guy named Bill made them for me. His workmanship is much nicer than others I found on ebay. I really like the way he rounds the edges that give the racks a nice finished look.

                      Making racks is not a full time job for him, but he is still pretty quick. My order of 20 racks was completed and received in less than 3 weeks.

                      His name & email is Bill Runkle wgr0910@msn.com .

                        do you think he would mind if we called him? will he make other cases beside for bats?

                          Hi Joel,

                          I do not have his phone number. But your welcome to email him and ask.
                          I asked for his permission to post his email address after Roger asked.
                          Thank you,

                            I just bought some more bat racks from Bill and I expanded my display to take over the entire basement. Thank you sweetheart (my wife).....

                                Nice collection and nice display.
                                Glad to see that someone else also has a sports "den" that doubles as a play room for the kids!
