My new display... What do u think?

[Scaura]

Hey guys,

I wanted a way to display a heap of cards.

Especially my complete set of 12/13 threads wood rookie autos & playoff contenders rookie of te year gold auto set.

I have limited space at the moment as just about every nook and cranny is already taken up.

So I managed to clear 3 shelves in my book case and thought I'd try and create something myself...

Let me know what u think. I'm pretty happy with the result.

What it looked like before painting & securing the display stands

Completed! Another 10 display stand will be secured in front to match the rest, giving me a total of 40 cards per shelf, 3 shelves = 120 cards total.

wow, pretty sweet setup there. Can't wait to see it filled with cards.

Wow man........ that's sick as haha

No offense but the shelves should of been higher apart. If they were higher apart you would be able to see the next row of cards a lot better. Of course it depends on what angle your looking at it from but I think it would be better if it was the way I mentioned. Still well done

 

[Scaura]

Thanks mate, you can see the top half of the next row. The reason I did it that way to to maximise the little space I had as there is at least 115 cards of the top of my head that I want to display.

Very awesome!! Would recommend the smaller square stands rather than those tall ones as they are much easier to work with!

 

[AutographedMemorabilia]

Thats awesome,i do agree with what some people have said to make it a bit higher but after read throught the read of your post in regards to that all i can say that's cool.

Great job Scott - I think my best effort in woodwork was to actually turn up to the classes!

Agree with Rhys re: the square stands, I used the stands that you have used (I only have bookcase shelves) and found that the square ones give me more room.

You should be proud of your work though mate!

[Scaura]

I bought mine from the local $2 shop... $2.00 for a pack of 5

Very Impressive DIY mate! Going to look awesome filled with cards.

Can't wait to find out how long it takes to dust every week, black shelves and plastic cases suck for picking up dust

Hey have you ever had any problems storing any signature cards in these ultra pro products?
I've just ordered a fair few stands and cases for my nrl insert signature cards but i put a couple in and im unsure whether or not it will scratch up the signature over time or not.

Love the display btw - taken a leaf out of your book and going to do something similar

 

[Scaura]

Nah mate, never had any issues with the surfaces.
