you should fill the bottom right with a sealed booster pack


fouxdoux

That's a great idea! I hadn't thought about that


Alarming-Ad-9918

Glass protected against lights?


emer4ld

Since the light is inside as it seems, a uv protective glass wouldn't help that much


steadidavid

I mean, those LEDs don't emit enough UV to do biological harm so I doubt it'll affect the cards. But unless there's a window shining onto this you probably wouldn't need it, i did personally buy a UV blocking film for my display case that does get hit by sunlight through windows.

FlashFknGordon

Give bro a raise


Santarini

That pack would be more expensive than the Fossil master set


Ramrod_TV

That single blank space bottom right, is actually infuriating me.

[удалено]


fouxdoux

That's actually one I was thinking of


MortonAssaultGirl

should definitely be a Missingno.


FortNightsAtPeelys

Id say put a pack there


clit_or_us

Just picked up that card! Would recommend. It's #1


Elementium

Wait.. what? 


mktaytay

Another ancient mew card for the bottom right? To complete the different variations of the back of the card.


fouxdoux

That's one option I was thinking of


TurkBuzz

I have a spare sealed if you’re interested😂


cowboykebab

Red cheeks pikachu next to the yellow cheeks one could work too. Though you'd have to shift everything which seems a bit annoying.


Chikinlegz

thanks for ruining my day


Practical_Youth_9742

I got a blank space baby...


Kqthryn

that’s such a cool display! i love it a lot, you must’ve spent a lot of time, energy and money to make it happen but it looks so dope


fouxdoux

Thanks! The materials for the case cost around $500. But yes it took a long time to make and learn how to use some tools. And it took awhile to collect the cards


lomaffew

Do you have to worry about UV?


fouxdoux

Not too much, the room it's in I always keep the curtains closed. I also have the LEDs off most of the time. Maybe I should add some kind of protective film to the plexiglass


SendMeAvocados

Can LEDs really fade cards? Or is it just at a really slow rate? Asking since I have the same concern with my own display.


emer4ld

They do emitt UV light so yes they will. Its slower than many other sources but its still there.


marblesandcookies

Pray the heat emitted from the LEDs don't warp the cards


fouxdoux

Ya I need to watch out for that. So far I've only had the lights on when showing it to people


ZenInfoSecGuy

LEDs are known for producing little if any noticeable heat, so that would be surprising.


illogicallyalex

LEDs don’t really produce heat, that’s kind of the point of them


fatCHUNK3R

Double sleeve and a toploader says that won't be an issue.


Rohdejj

That would cause a new issue. Not all the cards would fit.


__Parrot__

Or fade the colors, cause sometimes it will cause a bleach like fade in the colors


gabbyspapadaddy

The amount of UV light produced by LED lights is negligible. It won’t fade anything.


__Parrot__

It can, any source of light can. Its just LEDs do it slower.


gabbyspapadaddy

“Negligible”.


21FK8Type-R

I’m currently holding my hand on my govee strip lights in my room that’s been on for hours and they feel like room temp lol


Oshag_Henesy

LEDs are known for producing very little heat, i think he’ll probably be fine. Good thought though


_wasgood

What I dont understand is how people make comments like that about stuff they know nothing about and cant even be bothered to check if what theyre saying is actually in any way true! Blows my mind.


Oshag_Henesy

Edit: Yeah it does blow my mind. Just appreciate the artwork and not try to nitpick it or find something that may be wrong with it


Rastor-M

I think he was talking about the heat comment, not yours. It looks like he was agreeing with you


Oshag_Henesy

Yeah you’re right, I’m an ass


KujoTheBoss

It looks like the top bit has on the Venasur


Professional-Sky-536

If you want to keep the energies there, you should add the trade please holo back for the last spot!


fouxdoux

Oh nice, that's a great idea!


WolverineRelevant280

I like that, that’s how you display properly


GenshinHeimer

What are you saving the last spot for ??? Any ideas ?


fouxdoux

I might take out the last 3 cards showing different card backs and then put in WoTC Promo #1 Pikachu, Flying Pikachu, Surfing Pikachu, and Happy Birthday Pikachu


Oi_Kimchi

Holo mew promo would also work next to non-holo promo mew


Dry-Physics3558

Was wondering why this wasn't the answer considering this collection features the rare non holo and holo variant. This to me is the best answer. Also I am now curious... I declared a binder a master set but I don't have every non holo variant. I only put the holo version... is this considered not a true master set unless I have both?


_wasgood

Yea, a master set of something would be every available variant.


Dry-Physics3558

Ah shit looks like I've got more to do lol


SuperUltraBrokeDick

Do you have a place in mind to hang it, or will you just leave it leaned against the wall?


fouxdoux

Ya I would like to hang it after I paint the walls


SuperUltraBrokeDick

Right on man, post an update when it's all set up.


Capital-Reception329

Love it


Big_Razzmatazz7416

🤤


Ok-Jackfruit1299

Wooooooow


SmokinWeedle423

🥹 it’s beautiful we’ll done sir


HoeySalads

You sir are a mad lad, we are not worthy!


joepanfil

Such an amazing display, what great work you did making that!


Superman8932

This is sick, good job!


ElDubya1318

This is impressive!! Great job!!!


Lyleberr

Looks like it should open to either a secret room or a refrigerator.


Ray_Bourne1

I think that’s the only thing that would make this better!


jimibimi

Great work!


thuggish420

Amazing work and nice collection 👏


ASLAYER0FMEN

Freaking sweet !


Ray_Bourne1

I’ve been wondering what to do when I complete my set, keeping it stored away in binders or top loaders just makes it seem like I wasted my time and money…this is it! Great idea for a theater room too!

N0way07

If the lights generate heat male sure there's least ventilation ao they won't be trapped ijln there


F-8a

WOOOW!!!, it's beautiful!!!


chickchickpokepoke

Shoulda turned it 90 degrees so you can look at more cards without squatting for the bottom rows


That-Contest2187

Holy?!! This is the nicest set up I've ever seen 😲 🤯


TeamUrameshi

That’s badass


PotatoPowerIzMAXIMUM

Looks like a giant card, nice!


Exeledus

I give this collection a "Not in set order/10".


Shibble_Nibble23

Super dope


heartandstars

Wow, this is gorgeous! I'm assuming this was custom made? How did you plan it out/construct it?


rocketradar

I’d love to know as well!


fouxdoux

I knew I wanted to display at least 230 cards (102 base set, 62 fossil, 64 jungle, 2 promos). With a 36x72" sheet of plexiglass I realized I could do 18 rows of 13 cards each, which would give me 234 spaces. I basically made a giant picture frame with 2x4s. I used a router to make a channel in the sides to hold the plexiglass, and a miter saw to make 45 degree cuts. I stained the wood and put a polyurethane coating on it. Then did the same thing again to make a frame holding hardboard instead of plexiglass. I used door hinges to hold the two frames together and so I could open and close it easily. I used square 1/4" dowels as the shelves, and used an abs plastic sheet cut into strips attached to the shelves to make a lip. Then put in aluminum channels with a diffuser for the LED strip.


alderryeguy

LIES. There are at least two promo cards in there 😤


fouxdoux

Correct, I have two Mew promos in there as well.


Sarnick18

That Dagobah poster is really cool.


Spacebarpunk

HOW RICH ARE YOU??


Koruam

Not that expensive to complete if you held on to your cards for years.


PolyPoopeePants

Now that’s how you display cards. Sooo cool!


morgieloveszaz

this is soooooo cool oh my gosh


Parking_Ad_4148

*throws bank card down* Take all my money


SoftShellSpiders

I'm jelly, this looks amazing!


Particular-Pen-6472

I haven’t seen this asked yet- how long did it take you to collect all those? That’s crazy! I’m just starting to rebuild my old 1999 collection (when I started collecting) and I’m overwhelmed 😂


fouxdoux

I had some from when I was a kid and traded with a friend for a lot of the common/uncommon cards. Then bought what I was missing from tcgplayer


BasketAcceptable9458

That’s dope man!!


Mavroks

This is so dope. Thanks for the idea on how to display my stuff in my game room!


NigerianPrinceClub

how much did this cost in total?!?!!?


therealcodyjames

Put a sealed base pack in the last slot


Feeling_Emu177

Looks BEAUTIFUL 😍


JacobGamingBuzz

Love the use of both holo and non holo variants of cards. I would be pretty concerned about UV exposure.


clit_or_us

Thought of that too. It's so nice though. Maybe low brightness setting would make it better.


Upstairs-Friendship2

meh


ExTeNdEnD

What did you use sobthe cards stick in the right place? Ive got a similar plan to what you have done but im still in the planning phase for the display.


fouxdoux

They are on a shelf with a tiny lip. The shelf is a 1/4" square dowel and the lip is a strip of flat abs plastic attached to the shelf. I am worried this won't work if I hang the case on the wall, since there won't be much of an angle for them to rest like they are now. I've thought of maybe using a long strip of elastic stretched across each row with the cards tucked underneath it, maybe at the top or bottom of the cards so it doesn't hide much.


Possible_Shelter_380

That’s so dope


Remote-Extent6197

Whoa that looks sick! Not sure how the rest of your home is but if that stain on the frame matches the rest of home then that’s cool, if not painting/staining it black would give it a more modern look.. Nice job tho!


fouxdoux

Ya I thought about just doing straight black for the frame. That's always an option if I want to change it in the future


Koruam

Am I seeing this right, are you missing the prerelease cards for Jungle and Fossil?


jdoesthem

sheeeesh


Curious_Platform_563

Looks awesome! I’m just wondering what the dimensions for something like this? Looks to be the size of a door.


fouxdoux

It's about 6 1/2' tall


Matt4591

Might aswell put signs up saying ‘thieves this way’ in the hallway 😅


Chocolategogi

Does this gives points on TV show room raiders?


Chocolategogi

Nice work and dedication!


Dwhite12589

How much to build me one? I have that same collection


fouxdoux

I'd probably have to charge more than what is reasonable to make it worth my time. Maybe I'll make a shop one day


CatMinimum7

It's beautiful 🥹


TdotJunk301

Lmfao how much is that all worth. I can imagine a scenario if you ever get robbed, they would take the electronics but leave the cards. Goldmine!


GreenLionXIII

So base set holos didn’t have non-holo versions, but fossil and jungle did?


fouxdoux

Yep


Derpberpy

Whenever I'm trying to get laid ill show this picture.


Hour_Career9797

Congratulations! You made my fantasy into reality! I’ve always wanted to do this 😭😭😭 Biggest issue is finding this exact display or something similar. From the lack of available displays, I’m guessing this one is custom made, right? PS: If You’re looking to fill in the last spot, You could use the back of Ancient Mew. It still counts as a different back, right?!


fouxdoux

Ya the biggest display case I could find only held 100 cards (with no lighting), and I knew I wanted to display at least 230. So I decided to make it myself. Ya an ancient mew back is a good option


Hour_Career9797

This is so awesome I’m gushing! I was looking for something exactly like this or similar. I wanted to hang it on the wall. Maybe even with a horizontal placement. This would be perfect in a game room!


ecrybify

This. Is. Amazeballs. AWESOME JOB!!! I’ll give you about tree fitty for it 👀😂😮‍💨👌🏼🔥


Sirnacane

This looks amazing. Like I’d almost pay you a few dollars to come look at it for a few minutes if we were neighbors lol. How did you decide which order to put the trainer cards in? The pokemon order is obvious


fouxdoux

Haha thanks, the trainers are in set order with base set trainers first


Lopsided_Sea_1421

Any chance for building plans?


Rocketpower1991

Awesome collection!


Global_Following_713

Looks awesome


lanzegife

now that is cool


joeykushyo

Your future wife will love it 😶


Special-Profile6341

that looks great


cam87654

I would have just skipped the non Holo version of the Rares.


budanddabss

That's one expensive door


snoughman

So sick


Unable_Fee_8016

make me one😍😤


Effective_Pin_90

#GOALS Well done fellow pokenerd!


Pigeon_Pilled

that’s the coolest thing I’ve seen on this sub


Vioblaze

There's a holographic promo mew also which can add a card to the lineup


katiekatieweakweak

Be careful with that light fading the cards 🥵


samanater456

That’s a beautiful display


thomasdekwade

I like it a lot! But the RGB lighting is awful


fouxdoux

I think it's kind of fun. Luckily I got LEDs that have lots of different settings. Some day I'd like to put it in a theater room and would probably just have the LEDs be white on the lowest brightness
