Switching all of my Blake GU / Autos to Screwdowns

[ajbry]

Decided to change from regular top loaders to nice screwdowns, 35 of the regular size, and 20 of the extra thick variety. Hopefully it will be a good change, because I dished out close to $50, just for screwdowns.

i have them 70.00 for 200 and few other members wanted them but no follow up--kj

I like the ones with magnets.


A great way to diplay your Blakes--jch

Are you going to build a display case for them. You know, one that can be hanged from the wall. I build a case for my dad and his hot wheels he loved it. You would just have to use the same ones.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll be sure to pst a pic of the new, improved display.

11chaos: Yes, I actually have them all in a case already, here's a pic:

Homemade as well, I also have a smaller display similar to this one for my high-end Blake inserts.

Very nice display case aj. They will look even better in screwdowns. Did you make that case yourself or was it someone you knew?

 

[ajbry]

My dad and I made the case, I did the dimensions and some of the actual handywork, while my dad did quite a bit of the woodwork itself.

Well you two did a very nice job, it looks great!

 

[11chaos]

Very nice. You could get some felt/velvet like material with a solid color and place it on the wood as a background. This will make all of your cards stand out even more.

Wow, that's a beaut of a case there, I'll have to make one for my Johnson collection!

I only have one question. I have heard something about sunlight fading autograpgs over time. I don't know if this is true, but if so, does anyone know if it would it be best to display the case in a place not directly hit by sunlight?

RJohnson-Put the case not directly in sunlight, sunlight can fade the autographs that's true.

Alright, thanx for the help - I was actually just looking at an suto'd stick on my wall and saw that it was quite faded, likely due to it's spot righ tby a window.

Thanx again! \
