Good Hat Display Cases/Ideas

[frikativ54]

Hello All,

I have seven game used hats, and I am running out of display case room to store them all. Does anybody have suggestions about cap cases? I am looking for UV protection, and something behind glass would be great. But I am also just looking to put a few of them on the wall, so if anybody has any novel recommendations, I'd really appreciate it.

That's a pretty neat case. I am very interested in it, but I am curious as to if it protects hats from UV rays. I don't want the writing on it to fade. However, I can't find any info on the site about it. Have you seen anything?

Keep the ideas coming...I much appreciate it. :)

Thanks, Andrew. But I have so much stuff on my wall that I need it to be free standing. But thanks anyway.

www.ballqube.com has hat cases but i don't know if they are UV protected or not. I think that's the hardest part of this hobby is displaying the stuff and not having it get ruined.

Any other suggestions? I'm running out of room...

Got some of these (http://cgi.ebay.com/3-BASEBALL-HAT-UV-PROTECTED-ACRYLIC-DISPLAY-CASES-/160572182274?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2562d90f02#ht_2027wt_884) for my collection. Any experiences with such cases?

Biggest factor for me was price.

I found the following on eBay: Hat Cases (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Case-8-Ballqube-Brand-Cap-Hat-Display-Case-Holder-/280812145444?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4161b54b24#ht_1442wt_693)

They are very inexpensive, but I'm wondering how well they hold up. Does anyone have experience with these kids of storage methods?

This type of case fits New Era caps pretty well.

It's not specifically designed for GU cap display but more for the protection your own New Era caps. Not sure if it's UV protective.

I have those. I'm not sure on the UV but I bought because of price and style. They are cool but not all hats fit in them easily and it causes some to have ripples on the back panels of the hat while inside. That's what I don't like, plus getting the bottom piece put on is challenging at times.

Thanks, Ryan. This was just the kind of information I was looking for. I don't want any ripples, so I'll go with a slightly more expensive option that works well: Slightly More Expensive Case (http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Baseball-Cap-Hat-Deluxe-Acrylic-Display-Case-Holder-/270827472916?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0e934814#ht_500wt_935).

Nobody's had any trouble with these, right? I have maybe six of these, and I've found that they work well.
