How do you display batting/reciever gloves?

[gaytorhater703]

How do you guys display your gloves? Would putting them in a frame basically pressed against the glass damage the rubber palms of football gloves? I am just wondering if the finger material could possibly adhear to the glass after a period of time and cause the design to peel maybe?

Anyone have any experience with this?

Also has anyone here used mannequin hands and a little creativity to make a base and display the gloves in that mannor.....seems like some cool displays could be created.......TIA

I recently had this problem as well and ended up with a solution I'm really happy with: magnets.

I framed the receiver gloves in a display case and put one set of the magnets in the fingers of the gloves and the other set on the back of the frame. I was thrilled with how well it has held up and you don't have to puncture the gloves. I even moved recently with the frame and none of the magnets shifted. If the back of your frame is relatively thin, you should be able to get strong enough magnets for a buck or two at Lowes.

I have a nice large standup display case & I cut out hand shapped card board cut outs & place them in the gloves. the cardboard makes it easy to shape the gloves as well. The display has a mirrored back so you can see both sides of the gloves, Most baseball gloves show the good useage on the palms & are signed on the back.

I will try to post a pic later if you want.

Just make sure its acid free cardboard if they are signed.

In a uv filtered acrylic case wanna say I paid 100.00 for the case,displays 1 pair nicely

I also cutout carboard and put inside the gloves so they diplay like their on a hand, and it shows all the use!!!:p :p :p

Here are a couple pics of the Display case & gloves. The cardboard works great.

Is it a shadow box style, and if so how are the gloves kept in place, if it isn't are the gloves firmly pressed against the glass?

[halzeus]

It's a shadow box. I stuffed them with tissue to make them 3 dimensional.

The gloves do touch the glass. I don't know if it will damage them or not.

[gaytorhater703]

thanks for all the replies......im sure just simply touching isnt a big deal.....i had some pressed into a normal frame where they were really really tight.....i switched the frames for a shadow box.....used cardboard cutouts for the hands.....and placed magnets in each finger and on the palms......came out great imo


one tip......if you use magnets wash them really good and wipe them well...they could leave a residue/rusty spots if you dont clean them

I frame my gloves using project frames that I purchased at Michael's. I use two pieces of foam board to prevent the gloves from being pressed hard against the glass. I cut the matting myself using a cutter that I bought at AC Moore.

gaytor hater,

i use small fishingline and feed throught parts of the gloves so it doesnt damage them into the back of the matte. they do not touch the glass. never use double sided tape. it will ruin ur item. hope this helps

Like the photos with the items. Nice.

Looks real nice BrianK

Here is what i came up with via the tips from this thread......shadow box, cardboard cutout inserts, matting with magnets......i would advise to clean the magnets really well even if they are new to eliminate residue first

Trent Richardson autographed gloves from 2010. Frame came from hobby lobby, not too expensive. I stuffed the gloves with gauze to help with the form. I had bought some "practice hands" from a beauty supply shop, but they wouldnot cooperate with the frame, so I removed them and used the gauze.

Here are a couple I've got up in my man cave:

The first is a Dwight Freeney signed, game worn, photomatched glove v. the Titans (I know it's his and I photomatched it because he handed it to me...haha) - pic of him wearing the glove is also in the shadowbox

The second is some BCA game used gear of Charger Jacob Hester - also found just 1 photo of him wearing the gloves and it's in the center.

This is what I use. I've used them for years to keep my golf glove in shape between rounds. They are $2.99 at academy. I just cut the loop off the end and it displays nicely.
