Autographed jerseys

There’s a guy on eBay that charges $250 to frame a jersey. You can also send up to two 8x10 photos to put in the frame. You mail your Hersey to him, he framed it, and sends it back. I’ve had all 4 of mine done by him and he is awesome. Just type in “jersey framing” and you will see his.

His username is sportsdisplays.com. He has 2,000 rating on eBay with 100% dlfeedback

eBay search “jersey display case”. They have tons to choose from around $60 with free shipping. I have a Tyrann Mathieu signed jersey that I framed myself using one of these several years ago. It’s very simple.

Your local frame shop probably has access to moulding with a back/bottom bevel that's 1" or 2" deep. Just tell them you're interested in a shadowbox-type deal that isn't as deep as 3".

I have a Duke Snider autographed jersey but haven't mounted it yet. I have looked on amazon at the highest rated frames and will go that route if I can remember to pull the trigger.

They can be framed in a regular frame. I matted and framed both of these myself in regular frames I bought from Hobby Lobby.

Make sure you use UV protected glass to protect signature from fading.

This^ Also, I'd advice that the foam board you use be acid-free. Anything that touches the jersey should be conservation quality if you want it looking good forever.

These frames were only around $35-40 each, plus another $20 or so for matting material. Don’t think they are UV protected.

$275 isn’t bad at all if they are matting and stitching the jersey in place like I do. Takes a lot of time.

Speaking of old stuff, anyone in here collect old baseball/football photos?

My aunt worked for local paper(globe democrat), and it went out of business many years ago, and in one of the envelopes she had, was a bunch of old photos. Brooklyn dodgers,etc.

I have 2 much shite as it is, and they just sit in an envelope. I always wanted to find them a good home.

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?
