RE: OT: Show display cases
A friend of mine and I made this custom display case. It was quite a bit of work but it turned out very nicely. There are grooves cut in each shelf for the cards to rest, and the doors are plexi-glass with UV protection.
I also found this at a Joanne's store (it's more of a women's craft shop but they have a section in the framing department with a lot of great memorabilia displays) for only about $25 on sale. The only problem is that they are for thin cards. It would be hard to get any cards that are over the original standard size. Still it is cheap and looks pretty good.

RE: OT: Show display cases
Chibears: I am FLOORED by your card room!!! Wow...can't believe those exist. I usually have one card (currently my Peyton UD black film slide auto) on my desk in a nice little display stand...EVERYTHING else is organized neatly in clear, plastic, boxes in my closet. I want to be like Chibearsboy when I grow up! Lol
