Default AUTOGRAPH DISPLAYS

This is technically Miniature Football related but I figured it better posted here. Recently I've been spending loot on autographed football cards and decided on a keen way to display the cards with painted miniatures. I've found the softball display cubes work the best, they are 3.75" x 3.75" x 3.75", which is roomy enough for a display. Here are two methods I use. If I am lucky enough to get a player's signature on the matte board itself I go with first display (just happened to meet Hines at an event we catered for the Steelers at Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh a few weeks back ).

If I have only a football card I go with the second style seen in the Jack Ham display, by using double sided tape I can affix the card sleeve to the back of the case, and it looks darn good when complete. I plan to get more pics as I configure the displays and post them. My signature collection...enjoy

The figure is Reggie's FF.NET 'The Mike' MLB pose. I cut the helmet off, replace the head with an O-Scale train figure head (I sculped the hair with Miliput) then hollow out the FF.NET head to make the helmet. When you get it painted and put the facemask on it looks like a perfect little helmet.

It's a great idea I believe once I will finish my team and my brother's one, I'll make "one shot" minis to display too.


I particulary like the #86

Default Autographed Figures...

I have a Chuck Foreman and Joey Browner figure
that I got them to sign while I was in Minnesota
back in 2002 ( I think).They were at an event thrown
by Tom Ruesink.Rich Parks and myself went up to
help and got to meet Foreman,Browner,and Bill Brown,
the original # 30,as he puts it.The figures are signed
on the bottom and I have them elevated in a little
clear-plastic box so you can see autograph.No
signed Bill Brown figure.For some reason I forgot to
paint one up to get signed.I did get his autograph
on a piece of Viking paraphernalia.Also got my picture
taken ( twice) with some Vikings cheerleaders.We got
to go to a pre-season game while we were there.My first
and only NFL game,but I got to see my Vikings.I was in
Purple-heaven -Man.........Been a Vikings fan for 40 plus years.
If I ever learn how to post pictures I'll put these up.

SEMPER FI,
Chris Stacey
Hampton,VA.
