I want a simple bat display case that is like a ball cube case and can be wall mounted if possible. No fancy doors, woodwork or engraving but I want the plastic to be thick and not cheap looking. Anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone ever bought the ball cube bat display?

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. Does anyone own one of these and can you tell me the thickness of the plastic?

I have had a couple of these and for the price they are not bad, but they looked a little chincy to me. There must be better out there, but I haven't found a reasonably priced alternative yet.

These are a bit more expensive, but they look much better. You could probably find a cheaper one somewhere, but I like the mirror background.

The case that Nate posted is very nice, that is the kind I have my Ken Griffey Jr bat in.

Little pricey, but great for a higher quality bat!

You cant wall mount these ones. The one originally posted isnt bad. I have a few. The plastic s nice and clear and they mount well. Plastic is probably 1/4 of an inch thick. They mount really well too. Make sure you have the bat put in just how you like because they are a pain in the ass to unmount and fix.

just slap some wood together and if you want to pile up the square bat tubes inside,that's OK also.

You cant wall mount these ones.You can always mount a case like that on a small shelf from IKEA or Target. Something like this: http://www.target.com/Chunky-36%E2%80%9D-Shelf-Espresso/dp/B00098DNMU/sr=1-10/qid=1226676455/ref=sr_1_10/183-0301936-2030901?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Ashelf&page=1

"WALL MOUNTABLE.
The design features pre-drilled (yet hidden) holes in the back for easy wall mounting."

Sounds like you can hang them to me.

I have wooden/glass cases that cam pretty cheap - they have locks, and places for baseballs at the bottom. They hold bats up to 36 inches - and I believe they can hold up to 10 bats. I have the 1 bat and 3 bat models...They are the ones at the top left and the bottom right. The single bat holder in the middle was about $200 - and it has the Cards logo etched in the glass...the other ones were in the $50-70 range...

This is how I display my bats. I made the shelf myself. Pretty easy.
