Display Cabinets

[carlton91]

Hey Guys,

I am thinking of purchasing a glass display cabinet for my Higher end NBA cards. I know a few of you on here also have done this and I think I looks absolutely wicked. So if anybody has pictures of their collection in theses display cabinets I would not mind having a look at some to get a few ideas.

Regards
Justin

yeah mate sure can, also i put most of my cards in one touchers with UV protection to protect the cards from the sun, if ur cabinet gets sunlight i suggest u have to do this! i will take some after work.

Yeah I was thinking about the whole sunlight thing. Will have to get some uv one touches then. Also are they easy to put together?

If you are handly with the tools, it is easy enough to make your own display cabinet to attach to a wall.

Here's my attempt...and cost me under $100 to make:

I recommend those DETOLF cabinets - I have 3 in total, but i'm yet to set any up haha. They looked great in store though.
IKEA had them on sale here in Adelaide on Anzac week for $99each. + I signed up for a monthly discount on the website of $15 (just sign multiple people up).
So i ended up getting them for $84 each!

I should mention that I bought them to display my figurine collection and not cards. However, I think theyd look great if you got some stands like Bill said.

u got them cheap Nick well done the Ikea in Perth had them out of stock for six months so i had to wait and pay full price
Dale they look awesome mate well done!

 

[carlton91]

Just gave ikea a call after Bill mentioned that he had to wait 6 months for one of his I was a little concerned about how much stock they wold have. Turns out they have 57 in stock at the Osborne park shop
