I built this Display sometime in the late 1980’s early 90’s
Originally it was to display my 61 Topps Baseball set but the
Overall weight for one display was just to much so I had to
build two. Once I started selling at shows they became my
table displays at each end of my table.
Just recently took them back out of to see if my PSA graded
cards would fit, they do but I may have to do some adjustment for
there overall height of each slot as the PSA Holder is just about a ¼ in.
to tall.
Anyway thought others would like to see what can be done when you
have some extra time on your hands.
Each panel holds 80 cards, 40 on each side with a hinged divider in the
middle. All the locks are keyed the same so only one key is needed. The left
side panel has Cork center for attaching thumb tacked pictures or notes. The
Right side end panel has White Board center for writing special notes or info.
I could not open the display fully on the cart it is on but they do open much more.
The Wooden rods between the base and the bottom of the left and right
sides are arms that lock into place when fully open (to close you need to lift up
to release the lock and then they just scissor under when closed.
OPEN (Not fully open, Cart sides wont alow full extention of locking arms)
locked Closed
Right side with White Board center
Left side with Corkboard center
Panel open showing hinged center divider on left
Open Panel now showing hinged divider fliped to the right side
PSA Cased Card in Display (I only need to adjust the top spacer up some)

Currently collecting 1934 Butterfinger, 1969 Nabisco, 1991 Topps Desert Shield (in PSA 9 or 10), and 1990 Donruss Learning Series (in PSA 10).
I love the pad locks on every frame. No one at a show could break into those.
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
<< <i>Awesome display case!

Very true the cards are very safe even when I was away from the table. Also since each panel is about the
size of one flat display case I would get 8 display cases in the the same space as one
them to shows the cases themself would draw people to my table.
Havent done a show in nearly 20 years so they are now going back to there original use "Home display"
Oh when I did pull them back out I had 4 footlockers under them with my old stock. found a bunch of wax from
1980 onward and eight 1989 Score factory Football sets

well, when you break open those other footlockers please share what you uncover. And pics on that stuff would be great.
