If you’re a proud owner of autographed sports memorabilia, you already know that how you display your collection is just as important as the items themselves. A signed football, a game-used helmet, or a rare baseball bat isn’t meant to sit in a box or gather dust on a shelf — it deserves to be protected, preserved, and proudly shown off.
At Better Display Cases, we’ve helped thousands of collectors transform their man caves, offices, and living rooms into professional, museum-quality galleries. Here’s our expert guide to selecting the perfect display case for your collection — and why choosing the right one matters.
1. Choose the Right Material
The material of your display case is the foundation of protection and presentation. Cheap plastic can yellow and scratch, while glass is heavy, fragile, and dangerous if it shatters.
✅ Our Recommendation: Acrylic. Premium acrylic offers all the clarity of glass without the risk. It’s shatter-resistant, lightweight, and easy to clean. Our significantly UV-protected acrylic shields your autographs from fading, keeps dust out, and provides a crystal-clear view from every angle.
2. Pick the Perfect Size
Too small, and your item looks cramped. Too large, and it looks lost. The right case should give your collectible enough breathing room to stand out while staying secure.
For example:
- Autographed Football Helmet: Our Football Helmet Display Case fits snugly, provides a 360° view, and makes it a centerpiece of your collection.
- Signed Football: Our Football Display Case keeps your ball protected and beautifully elevated on a sleek acrylic base.
3. Prioritize Protection Features
A great display case does more than look nice — it actively protects your memorabilia from damage. Look for:
- ☀️ Significantly UV-Resistant Acrylic: Prevents autographs from fading over time.
- 🛡 Seamless Dust Protection: Keeps dirt, fingerprints, and debris away from sensitive surfaces.
- ⚖️ Stable Base: Prevents tipping and accidental falls.
Every case we make at Better Display Cases includes these features, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your collection is safe.
4. Add a Personal Touch
Your collection tells a story — so let it shine. Personalize your display with engraved nameplates, team logos, or custom risers to elevate your item and make it unique. Some collectors even include a ticket stub, a photo with the athlete, or a small plaque to commemorate the moment they got the signature.
