Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

So I moved and been working on displaying stuff

Well the wife and I moved to DFW area. We have 1 kid finishing college and another starting. We had been in the same house in Louisiana for 18 years and I knew I wanted space for my collection….
First of all I was able to put some of my helmets / minis in my office

We have a game room/ landing area upstairs where I could put some unopened as well as display some of my favorite graded cards.



I compromised and got rid of all my bulk commons that I had accumulated over the years (about 1 million cards donated to goodwill). This starting me on a project of going through each box and pull the cards I wanted to keep. I have began to now separate these by player and organize them (still a ways to go with the raw, graded are done)

And finally I have a few things in the media room
My favorite graded cards as well as an autographed Gooden jersey I need to get framed

It has been a fun adventure, just thought I would share

    Great set up. When is the open house? :) Or should I say "unopened" house.

    that is a great setup. I wish i had one like it.

    one question? I am wondering if the glass case with your PSA cards in it has UV-resistant glass? I just noticed it is right next to a window and I would hate to see any of those beauties get faded.

    Depending on the case you are looking at but they vary.

    Lowest grade displayed is a PSA 5 Koufax rookie I believe.

    I wish. It is a 6. Shows nicely but do not think it would bump to a 7

    Looks awesome! Hate to be a buzz kill but be careful who you let in your house to see. Friends of family members. Friends of Friends. Sticky fingers happen a lot. Would hate to see a crime of opportunity occur.

    Very awesome set up. You have a great and varied collection!

    My wife thinks the same way you do. We are as careful as possible
