PC Display..
Ok. So since i got back to collecting Basketball a few months ago, i have been struggling trying to figure out a way to display my cards.
So my girl took things into her own hands, dusted off an old coffee table in the storage room and put it in the living room. So what is this table for..?
I just love it. The only problem (something she did not expect) is that i now want to get even more cards to display in the middle of the room
What do you guys think? any other better ways to display a PC?

Love it man! I've been working on my display too. I really like that idea. Don't spill any drinks!

So what exactly did you do with it? I can't tell by the picture.

RE: PC Display..
Congrats. But it looks like the glass is just resting on top of the cards. NOT COOL. You probably want to make up some wood blocks or maybe even get some black checkers stacked 2 or 3 high. Let's say 6 or so that are just a little thicker than your thickest card. Put one in each corner and the other two in the middle near the edge. This will keep the glass off the cards. And also level out the glass. You have some graded cards and some just in toploaders. You don't want to set down your beer and have it slide off the table or worse yet spill and get down around the edges of the glass and ruin your cards that are just in toploaders.
What I do think is pretty cool is that it was your girls idea.

If you are going to use it as a table that would be sick, but also worrisome. I would modify it so that you drop out the bottom and use some marine sealant all the way around the class to protect the cards. On a side note nothing better than a girl who supports your hobby!

Ok, this is a better picture of the table.
@briankort The glass is resting on the graded cards.. Which is why i have them right in the middle. There is a slight space between the other cards and the glass.
@SHowley2003 The table is actually in my gaming room.. so i am there everytime someone is in the room. Sealing the table is not an option since i am still adding/trading many of the cards. I kept the edges clear of cards just in case something spills.

RE: PC Display..
Thats cool. I may suggest using low lighting in the room and/or keep away from windows so they dont fade. Also you need to take the Larry Johnson out and send it to me. Pretty smart girl though.
