Those look really good. I always wondered what method held the jerseys in place.
I did as well. I decided to roll with the jersey display cases I bought from Hobby Lobby, but might reconsider after seeing those in regular frames. The reason being that the display cases came with 10 or so pins. I put the Ozzie Smith jersey I have in it and got it all pinned up while trying to hide the pins from plain site. It's up and hanging at the landing of the stairs going to the bonus room. Problem is, it's not tight and looks all baggy and loose. Not sure what I need to do to remedy that given what I have to work with. I also hung a Marc Gasol autgraphed jersey(I'm from Memphis and have the 4 that started the Grit Grind movement(Marc, Zbo, Conley, and Tony)). Hung that on the wall going up the stairs, then went over to a buddy's for a 4th of July party. Apparently I didn't get the case on the nail good enough b/c I came home to the case busted at the bottom of the stairs, the jersey laying on the ground and and a decent sized hole in the wall
Question for those that would know about the UV protection on these. They are obviously being hung up inside and also will be away from windows. How big of a deal is the UV protection in that situation?

I always hear uv protection, but not sure how important it really is. I think the type of pen used on the jersey is the most important thing to make the signature last. I have about 10-15 framed jerseys and none with uv, but I also don't have any windows in my sports room so have never worried about it. If I had windows id use uv glass.
As for framing, id stay away from the hobby lobby and michaels places. Way overpriced. look for a mom and pops owner operated frame store and see what they will charge. Theres a place in baton rouge that will do it for $80. I used to frame my own jerseys until I found that they would do it for not much more than it was costing me.
