best way to display(free-standing) set of 20 slabs?

I'm putting together(with Tonelover's expertise) a type set of U.S.-Philippine coins, and I'm gravitating away from a Capitol Plastics custom made piece and towards the possibility of a free-standing display.
I don't have to crack anything out in this case. I ran into Main Line Coin(local dealer) and they were displaying their proud short set of Walkers(15?). Looks like it was a felt board with horizontal rails to hold up the 4 rows of slabs. I'm wondering what might be done with a set of 20 slabs. Any ideas?

    This way, you can have maximum control over the presentation layout and colors used. I think it would make a great display.

  • You would essentially have to assemble the pieces yourself.

    You can accomplish this by going to your local crafts / framing store and telling them what you want. If you think their frames are too pricey, you can shop around and bring in one that will work and have them custom cut some matting for you to your specifications (may want to bring in one of your slabbed coins so they can see what you are trying to do and they can confirm measurements).

    Then, after you have the matting done, just assemble it.

    Check eBay key word easel; 10 pages to chose from.
    I use something like this myself Text but these are kinda expensive, you can usually get a pack of 12 for like $5 and then there are these: Text
    I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for or not but it's a good start.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
  • JP's Corner sells easels pretty inexpensively, if that's what you're thinking...
