Hey guys, I need help with some ideas or options about displaying cards.

I have a full basement all dedicated to Minnesota Twins baseball stuff. That said, I'm a huge Oregon Ducks fan and the only football I collect is Marcus Mariota. I have developed a solid collection and I'd like to display my best cards as they are now in toploaders or one touch cases in a box.

My question is, what are my options without hanging anything on walls? Have you ever seen any sort of desk/tabletop display case options? I have a bar in my basement I'd like to set a case of some sorts on. Even if it was only 10-15 cards, I'd like to get them displayed.

Any ideas would be great, thanks!

^^^^^^

This is the best option. Hands down. Own a number of them. Go to Ikea.com and they will pop up. I was just at the one at the MOA and they have a bunch.

Thats MASSIVE though for a handful of cards isn't it? Also, really looking for something to simply set on my bar. My thought is almost like a glass top jewelry case?

Check out themagcase on instagram. Probably holds more than you need but I'm sure you will add to that collection.

It's pretty big for a few cards. I actually really like this for bigger stuff though. Maybe footballs, basketballs, signed helmets? I may buy one of these at some point. Just gotta get the bigger stuff to put in it:)!

For anyone interested in the cabinet pictured above, it's the Ikea Detolf. I bookmarked the page a few years ago and never got around to buying one.

These are best for displaying helmets own 3 of them and probably get a 4th soon. I don't think cards in them would display as nice as other ways you could get a hanging display for them.

Do you full size or just mini helmets in them? Any chance you can post a pic?

Ive seen a bar with a glass top over the cards before. They were cheap cards but all good famous players. They filled the entire bar top. I thought that looked pretty good.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I'm going to check out the IG page, and if not that route, it's on to convincing the better half that the stand up case can be filled in my office. She likes things to "match" so we'll see how that goes.

Anyone able to provide a link for these. I’ve typed so many different things in to Ikeas website and haven’t found anything.

Thanks in advance
