Default Does anyone collect sports memorabilia?

I just picked up some autographed baseball memorabilia over the weekend and would like to put them in cases to mount on a wall. Has anybody ever brought these cases? If so, from where? An initial search revealed these things to be rather expensive and I was trying to find a lower cost, but still decent enough quality source.

BTW, it's a bat and a batting helmet.

Hmmm...I have a couple of autographedd baseballs and I got the cases for them at the Container Store www.containerstore.com

Not sure about the bat, but maybe they'll have something for the helmet. Good luck.

Thanks. I saw they have one for the bat and it's much cheaper than any other place I saw on the net (bat containers were going for ~$150-200). I might splurge for the helmet container but this should do for the bat. Thanks

i've been collecting sports memorabilia for the last six years and have bought/sold numerous bats, jerseys, helmets, etc...most of the cases/frames are also bought off ebay. the quality of the case are nicely finished, imo and the price is decent as well.

here's an example...
