What kind of case do you hang your game used jerseys in??? I just got a jersey from Marc and want to see how some of you guys do it. Pictures of it would be great as well as how much you paid

My Pete Rose 1976 game used jersey. Notice the case has the Reds logo and says Pete Rose 1976. Very happy with it. From Mounted Memories.

I prefer mannequins. Most jersey frames take up a lot of room.

+1 - BUT, Mannequins do take a lot of room too, but they add 'depth' to the presentation of your jerseys:

The cases are $25 from Walmart - Black 5 shelf - leave the upper shelves out and it gives a locker look. Another memeber turned me onto them about 2 years ago.

I try to keep it simple. Light is an issue when like me you don't have a whole room to devote just to jerseys. I put mine in a huge bin I got from Target for now because honestly I don't know what else to do with them. Framing is not an option because I just don't have the room.

AA -

Not sure where you live, but I check Craigslist as well as the two or three USED Store Fixture shops we have here in Denver.

I know some guys use 'blow up' mannequins that they get on-line.

As far as price, some mannequins can get up there - I have paid as much as $100 for some and as little as $25 for some. if they were new at retail they would be more like $550 down to $200 or so each.

All of the ones in my case are the same style and base. I just purchased a FULL Body Mannequin for my Giambi Uniform. I bought it used on CL for $70. Retail used would have been around $200-$250. New almost $600.

Hope this helps.
