Brewers collections

[billyhallfan]

Jason, you're the MAN! How are you displaying your 8x10's, they are obviously not in frames, toploaders? Thanks.

 

That is a sweet Scotty Po Tribute too!

[jason21nl]

acutaly they are in frames....they are thin black ones where all you see is the picture..they also take up less space then regular frames...i'll show a close picture..i chose a pic of billy hall just for you...haha....

Jason those are awesome photos! Wow, I have some work to do before I'm even in your guy's ballpark for collectibles.

 

If i had a Robin Yount bat like that I think there would be a no breathing policy issued in my room.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I don't have a whole lot of room to display things but here are some pics that are on my wall, I think in frames similar to Jason's.

Where can you find frames like that? I think they look a lot sharper than the ones that I have that are just solid wood.

[tnweill]

You can find those thin, plastic black frames just about anywhere -- Walgreens, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, etc. They are usually no more than $5 from the places that I have seen. However, they are not protected w/glass, I think it is some type of plastic.

[billyhallfan]

I think it looks a lot better than the type of frames that I have, I'll have to check them out. Thanks for the pictures guys, awsome stuff.

[Charlie Bell Fan]

Wow... Some of those bobblehead collections on the first page are quite amazing. I collect myself but dont have anywhere near the amount some of you guys do. Hopefully one day I'll get there.

I get mine at Walgreens. They're $3.99 and they actually are glass. They also have 4x6 & 8 1/2x11 sizes. But for some reason the 8x10s are never in stock at the store by me.And I once went to six Walgreens stores one day and I think I ended up with three of the frames. I'll check out Hobby Lobby & Michael's though. Thanks for that tip.

[jason21nl]

i get mine at walmart for $1.50...they are always out of stock as well...when i see them, I pick up 10 at a time.

[zingsheim]

I also think these black frames are really great. I used the wood ones like Billyhallfan and I am thinking about switching.

[gypcasino]

The ones I mentioned from Walgreens, besides having glass, are made of metal. Just to clarify. I'd like to buy a whole bunch at one time if I could find somewhere else that sells the same ones.

[Paul77]

Walmart & Target (even...kmart) usually have nice frames. The only problem is that for every 1 good one, theres 4 broken or defective ones. Walmart is by far the worst in this department.

 

I really like to use the "floating" frames. The double panes of glass hold the picture and look real sharp. I also am very fond of shadow boxes. Usually find both for about $10 a pop.

 

Floating frames

[jason21nl]

those are cool frames..but at 10 bucks a pop, i wouldn't ever be able to afford them..especially with the ammount of 8x10s I have...I still have a bunch not displayed...maybe for nicer pics or more special pics though, because I do like em.

[billyhallfan]

Where is Michael's, I know it is in Madison but where?

[mattsr0625]

can you guys take a look at my bobble display case and tell me what you think. any suggestions on how i should arrange them. thanks also take a look at some of my other stuff.

[billyhallfan]

Matt, that is a nice case, but IMO, you are wasting a lot of room in there, I don't know how strong the shelves are, but if it were me, I would take some 2x4's or some type of raising material to make almost "stadium seating" for the bobbles, also if the shelves aren't strong enough for that, put some in the front, and some in the back, interlocking, Does that make sense, it all depends on how much weight the shelve will hold, because if one collapses, that is a whole lot of cash down the crapper.

[mattsr0625]

thats kind of what i was thinking. maybe some baseball holders like the cubes and then glass shelves along the back. still light enough but it will give it the stadium seating look. great idea thanks bhf.

Jason, you have some of the best 8x10's I've seen. Those are fantastic.

 

Matt, wow you've added quite a bit. I want that black and white Brewers poster. I've got the 1989 one hanging on my wall right now. I agree with BHF, try to the stadium seat type display. That would look really nice. I might have to incorporate that idea into some of my stuff.

[berniebrewer4life]

Matt, where did you get that Co. Stadium seat? Collectablestadiumseats.com?

I've just added another piece to the collection. I now have every Brewers team set issued by Topps for the last 20 years. By the end of the week I hope to have every set from 1978 - 2006.

20fry, this is something I kinda want to do. Where do you get the team set of baseball cards? Are they available at any sportcard selling place? Thanks.

Well, I had a few years in near perfect condition. ! also found some on ebay. If you can find a seller with multiple years you can clean up and save on shipping. I purchased a bunch of sets from a site called "baseballcardshop.net".

 

I'm up to 1979 - 2006 now. The older years are harder to come by (in good condition) and pricier, so thats slowed me down.

 

If your interested, I have extra Brewers team sets for the following years :

1987

1990

1992

1993

1994

1998

1999

2000

2001

2002

2004

[billyhallfan]

At Jeff's Sports in Menomonee Falls, once you walk in, go straight to the right, and there are team sets for a $1, they are all different teams, but if you're in the area, you might as well try, for only a dollar.

Decided to update my picture collection. Here is my current collection of Brewers, Bucks, Admirals, Wave, Vikings etc.
