Has anyone here framed or put up an authentic NFL jersey in their room?

I want to frame the jersey i just bought, or find some way to mount it or hang it for display in my room. I'm sure some of you have jerseys displayed in your room, how do you have it put up?

By the way, this will eventually be autographed sometime before I die.

Don't cheap out on frames. You don't want that jersey getting damaged by crappy framing materials, do you? Of course not.

Having said that- I would think a cheap temporary solution is a front-loading frame (where the glass pops in and out the front, instead of lifting out the back. Look for Format brand, I dunno if anyone else makes 'em.) get an acid-free backing, lay the shirt out flat on it, and carefully pop the glass in. And make sure everything is bone-dry to avoid mold growth.

In the long run, I highly reccomend shelling out for a professional shadow box mount. Especially if it gets autographed. Look around online, there's gotta be collector with some reccomendations.

yeah, I did a quick search earlier. The retail prices on some of these frames is ridiculous. Over $100 for a frame? Geez.

Once I do get it autographed though, I'll definitely buy a nice frame for it. Maybe I should just hang it in my room fornow? LT is hard to get autographs from though. Maybe next season.

I have a Michael Jordan classic one that he signed that's above my bed in a frame, put it in a frame carefully and hang it like a regular picture.

I saw them at a sports shop. They were pretty darn expensive. If I can remember atleast 200

You can check his other items for other jerseys he's selling. They're all at a great price.

Yeah, I'm just going to get it autographed. I'm not going to wear it.
