Best Newspaper Displays?

[BrewCrewForever]

I have the JS from Braun's first game as well as the special Brewers sections from the begining of this season and I want to get a nice display case for it and put it on the wall, any suggestions on what is the best thing to buy for it and where to buy it?

Your got a couple of options. The best balance of price and looks would be to go with one of those plexi glass poster frames from Target/Walmart/Walgreens. They have a nice black background you can display your paper either full page or folded. These frames are easy to customize as well. An Xacto knife, a ruler and a few minutes and you can build it to size.

 

The next option is a glass poster frame. The look similar to the plexi glass ones but are about an inch deep, looks much more professional.

 

The other option I use is a nice shadow box frame. More expensive, but you can't beat the look.

The Price Fielder SI is in a plexi glass frame that I cut to size. I added a piece of silver poster board paper with slit corners to "set" the magazine.

 

Example #3 (Shadow Box)

Hope you can use these as starting points for your own ideas.

Thanks a bunch 20fry, I think I will be going with the plexi glass frames. What do those usually cost?

[Paul77]

Check around, you can get them for $10 or less usually. Someone always has a sale. JoAnn Fabrics had them for 25% off last week.

Damn, I dont have one of those around these parts. I will have to hit up Wal-Mart.

I'm sure that all of our collections have gotten bigger over the season, I think that we should do another collection pictures thread after the season, or closer to the end of it anyway so we can all get the Weeks bobble on the 30th.

Shadow boxes can be found at any frame shop or at your local Walmart/Target type store.
