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

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.
