I figured since I showed my Top 5 additions to the PC in 2016 I would show what my whole collection now looks like as a whole to date. I've been working on a mancave which I could not be more happy with but even the smallest of purchases quickly add up financially which means I've had to pass on alot of nice cards that would of easily ended up being in my PC for the last 6 or so months.

Ever since my Yzerman scripted stick addition I now have 4 different projects I am working on and I will show you how I am displaying them in my mancave which include: Prime Colors / Scripted Sticks / 1 of 1 & Unique / Auto Game-Used Patch Cards.

First up I have the Prime Colors, this is easily my most favorite set to date and couldn't be more happy with the players I have added so far. These tend to have a crazy premium attached to them but some I have landed for a massive steal so in the end they average out :P













These are displayed in their own case which holds a total of 25 cards and would consider myself very lucky if I was ever able to fill it completely with 25 HOF/Elite Players.



Next up we have the 1 of 1 & Unique cards I own, I don't have many of these because I only collect HOF players and Elite players which tend to get pricey or no one ever wants to get rid of the good stuff :P







These are displayed beside the Prime Colors in their own case aswell,



Next up we have the bread & butter of my entire PC which is the Auto Game-Used Patch cards, I try to get the very best patch cut available but honestly they seem to be more rare than shield cards nowadays due to all the good cuts going to Monumental cards / all the non-auto patch sets as I feel they use numbers + Letters for the auto and all the logos and shoulder patches for non-autos to help sell the product better. Whenever these cards do become available 90% of the people put them up for ridiculous prices (most likely because they themselves don't really want to get rid of the card unless a offer was given to them that was too good to pass up and I don't really blame them) so I'm really only left with a handful of cards to choose from every year which tend to be from the yearly Cup release of Limited Logos but I'm happy with what I've collected over the last few years.



















For now these are displayed in 2 corners of my room in a total of 4 display cases,





and lastly would be the scripted sticks, for the last couple years I kept telling myself I wanted to work on getting a display full of scripted sticks but up until last week I never really fully committed to it. Scripted sticks are very cheap compared to all other cards I have ever collected and every outside stick cut is very unique as there are a billions of different sticks used compared to the select few jerseys teams have used over the years so you never know what to expect to pop up.

I only have the Yzerman but I have a feeling this display will get filled quite nicely over the next couple of years :)



I have yet to receive the card but when I do it will be going in a case beside the 1 of 1 / Unique cards.



The room seems alot darker in the pictures than it really is in person but the cards look so nice in these displays.



All the cars headlights light up aswell =)

My mancave and my collection have a long ways to go but I'm sure given some time it will all start to come together.

Thanks for taking a look and hopefully by this time next year I will have a collection that has doubled if not tripled.

Very cool presentation of your collection!! I am admiring your displays!! They look high end like your cards!! Congratulations!!
 
Awesome cards. Thanks for the show and tell. Where did you get those display cases?


I bought them off ebay from a seller named Savage83, after I bought my first case I instantly knew I wanted alot more of them and If I had more space I would buy a ton more.

Since he lives in the states I have to end up paying more shipping + import charges but in the end they are roughly 150$ CDN per case, they have locks on them, are UV protected and come in a variety of colors. I looked all around and even for me being in Canada they were the cheapest available option for best quality product that fit all my needs.

Love the Set Up in the Mancave the fact the car lights come on its a nice touch... would be cool if you could sync them to your favorite team scoring a goal much like the bud light red light !!
 
Wow! What an amazing mancave! Great collection and displays and simply a superb ambience to your room. Nice touch using the headlights and love the green walls. One of the coolest mancaves I've seen. Great work!
