Default How do you display your PC?

I mostly PC Yankee autos but I am into autos in general. I was thinking of ways to display all of the worthy autos I have on the wall somehow and cluster them by team.

To avoid paying out the butt for a fancy display case that I could eventually outgrow, I was thinking about maybe putting them in One-Touches and then put a hook or something similar on the back of them. This way I could move them around freely as the collection grows.

I'm curious to see how fellow collectors display their stuff. I would appreciate pics and advice for inspiration!

I would love to see this as well. I myself have everything in a box, in a closet.

Be careful of light ( especially sunlight - just ask the Declaration of Independence! ) fading the inks / tanning the paper the autos are on. A good UV blocking archival clear display cover/sheet should do the trick

I keep a rotation of 10 cards displayed on a shelf above my desk (I work from home now thanks to COVID). They are far from valuable to most people, but I like to change them up occasionally depending on new PC acquisitions, cards I have gotten in some of dashcol's games, and favorites of mine from when I was a kid.

Thanks for sharing. I was also thinking about shelves!

If they are valuable to you, that's all that matters.

Thank you. This will definitely be something I will consider from now on.

This is how I do it too. Unfortunately, because of the arrangement of my office, the shelves I use aren't above the desk, but on the wall behind me. It's certainly less ideal but still does the trick.

I bought a couple of old CD holder stands and use one-touch magnets with single card display stands. Can get six cards displayed per row x8 rows = 48 cards displayed.

I NEVER display autograph cards, only non-auto RCs, MJ and Trout cards.

Here is how I plan to display my PC in the future. The cases are from IKEA, I built the LED light strips to put inside and they go on/off by remote control. It is empty because I am waiting on a couple graded returns from SGC and PSA to put in there. I have a 48 Bowman set at SGC right now and have considered putting the whole set displayed in one and in the other, have modern cards. i also have a bunch of Allen & Ginter World's Smokers cards at SGC and have considered displaying them in there along with some other tobbaciana memorabilia like old tobacco tins or a ball and glove that would have been from those eras.

The wooden box was built by a gentleman on facebook. His business name is Knotty Hobby Woodworks on facebook, but tragically, his home and shop burned down in the California wildfires. Keep your eyes open on his facebook page and once he opens back up for business, please support him. He does great quality work.

he ships them through your choice of mail service but packages it very well. Mine went from California to North Carolina with no problems. The boxes are pricey but well worth it considering he does not just use pine wood from the local Lowe's. He uses exotic woods. Mine is made of sapele wood which I believe is an African wood. He can also do Walnut or Koa wood. The more exotic, the higher the price. My box was also made to specifically fit PSA cards. My plan once he gets back on his feet is to have him make me an SGC one also. Check out his facebook page and you will see all the different configurations he is can do.

I bought some trim at Home Depot, cut it accordingly, and made this in the corner of my office. Came out decent...

Wall mounted display for graded cards from Amazon. In a secure room away from true kids and out of the sunlight.

I'm in a man caves/fan caves page on Facebook and a guy shot a video of his room. Screenshot is below. He used 3M tape strips on the back of the one touch so he can move them however he wants. Maybe this is an option for you.

I currently don't have anything other than cards as far as memorabilia, but this looks really nice for when I do eventually get into that!

I used the same trim on the backdrop of my desk, perfect for cards
