Curious about this because I presently have my cards sitting in a large stack of mags on my bookshelf. Some of my nicer ones are on individual stands on the shelf, but I don't love the look of that either.
So what do you guys do? Pics encouraged!!

I have mine displayed in my gameroom like this. Nothing big like other folks but enough to display and rotate some of my favorite cards.

I display my favorite cards in this bookcase, rotating cards every now and then..
Most of my pc i keep in the binders (minus the thicker and/or more expensive stuff.
I made the storage boxes for one-touches. The bigger one has only Reggie Miller memerobilia and other thicker cards. The smaller one has my 90’s auto collection.

I don’t display because I mostly collect autos and don’t want them to fade... plus I don’t want anybody knowing I have cards unless I want them to know... sticky fingers aren’t cool

I don't have a ton of room for a display but I just use this space for some of my favorites and then the other couple hundred go in a storage container for safe keeping!!

Like others have said, most of my stuff is put away, but I rotate some cards and have 5-shelf bookshelves to display stuff in my small man cave.

Cool display frames man. I'm guessing they are custom made since they fit the one touches perfectly. Who made them?

Don't do it. Though this is coming from some okkne that collects Ersan Ilyasova. Can you imagine if I did some sort of display???

If it’s Jordan or Lebron it’s ok and super cool. If it’s Ersan, then it’s creepy. Therefore you should definitely do it.

I don't display them. I store them in a giant 1500 count box. Great displays though!

Damn, these displays are beautiful! You guys with wall mounted cases etc, do you buy them? Or build them yourselves? I was leaning toward building some wooden shelves into my walls but I'm not super pleased with how the cards look in mags on tripod stands.

I display mine in a case similar to some of you. I believe a big part of the hobby is being able to look at the, similar to a piece of art or picture. That being said I know there is a lot of money in this hobby so caring for the cards is just as important.
So.... what are your guys worries about UV rays? UV protection? I know the display cases I use claim to be UV protected and I know Beckett claims their slabs have UV protection, as does ultra one touches.
I mean I am not keeping them in the sun. It’s a fairly dark room. But just looking for others thoughts and opinions on the issue.

^ Very nice
One touches and bgs cases don't protect against the light.
I already tested it.
Maybe give you a couple extra days before they fade that's about it.
Very beautiful displays! I know the sun is the enemy, but sometimes you just gotta enjoy your cards.

Me being cheap, I found a wood table top display for $20 and going to add shelving to the inside for a card display. My PC cards I keep in binders right now and the rest I have a storage cabinet I have my boxes in. Simple and my girl don't mind it since it don't take up a ton of space.

Hoping that's a thing.

I don't display, mainly due to lack of room and UV damage.
One touches and cases will say they are UV resistant or have UV protection, but that means that UV rays can still penetrate them, just not as bad as having no protection.

I am not to worried about sun. I don't collect autos and the window in that room faces east. The window is under a patio so it really only sees morning sun. Blinds always closed also.
I love being able to look at my cards anytime I want. There isn't a door to the room so I go in there 3-4 times a day and just check them out

I don't...yet. Have a couple of grand projects in mind, but the collections aren't complete enough to get them done. The biggest one is actually football-related, I have a decent Ohio State football PC. Also want to display autos of all 12 original Dream Teamers, but only have 9 at the moment haha. Some of these are pretty awesome to see for sure!

Great stuff here..
My wife lets me keep my cards in a cardboard display case with a lid in the back of the cupboard where we keep the junk mail and my kids art that he brings home from school.
