Best way to display baggies?

[Cazza]

What's the best way, chaps? Been trying to sort my collection into a decent looking display, and my two baggies stand out like a sore thumb- they look shite :lol: They're nice items that I want to show off, but the packaging just doesn't lend itself. Should I go for a couple of small acrylic cases?

 

[Jez]

Yes.

Frunkstar had quite a few at CE2 that were displayed in acrylic. They pinned the four corners out.
I think they were UKG cases. I don't know if GW Acyrlics have these contact itfciain

 

[Jez]

I don't think they do Rich. The difference a bog standard acrylic case makes though is remarkable.
I've just put my one Baggie in one and it looks much better.

I'm sure Iain/Christian wont thank me for the rubbish picture but here are the 2 sized cases perfect for baggies. Trust me they look a lot better in the flesh than in this picture.

 

[Frunkstar]

Like this (IMO) as even standard acrylic cases do little for making baggies display well -



& this is how they are made up to stretch the baggie out & held it in suspension -






& just for the hell of it to show you how they look together -

Thanks chaps. Frunkstar, are they from ukg?

The UKG do look good, if grading is your thing.
£22.99 plus postage there and back vs a nice cheap case for less than a tenner?
For me it was a no brainer, i'm not gonna pay to risk someone else possibly make an error whilst subjectively judging my baggies condition.
The acrylic case from Christain/Iain works just fine for me.

 

[Frunkstar]

yes from UKG, as Jez has pointed out they do cost a lot more, he will do standard cases as well by request which I think are in the region of 12 graded.

The cost is a double edge sword really, on cheaper easy to come by baggies its a bit much, but for higher end ones its a real bargain IMO, 23 quid to protect a very fragile $500 baggie is an investment IMHO & they display 100 x's better in these again just IMO, but I would never have gone for casing or grading in the old style cases as IMO they look gash

Another vote here for UKG for me.

Christians Acrylics are also excellent but I just think a baggie in a UKG case looks strangely cool 8)

 

[Jez]

Looking at Franks stuff, they do look "The dogs knob".
I only had a shite Emperor so i just chucked him in an acrylic case.
I agree, if you have a decent rare one fork out the extra spondlooeys.
Seeing as England have just spunked their chances of getting out of the group stages up the wall and saved you several cases of lager, chips and dips and BBQs, i'd say go for it!

UKG for baggies all the way

 

[Cazza]

Really like the UKG ones, but a little pricy as I don't think mine are rare at all- Biker Scout and Emperor...

 

[Frunkstar]

Yeah they are a little costly, but its all due to the work that goes in, if you look closely at how the cases are constructed you can see why they are the price they are as a tonne of work goes into them, each one has to be specifically for the figure & baggie type rather than a standard one size case.
