Displaying signed balls

[robert326]

My wife and I decided to decorate the top of our den wall unit with bobbleheads and baseball we collected/acquired over the years. Some of these I got 10-15 years ago and am finally displaying for the 1st time. We chose a spot where we could enjoy them, which is also away from direct light.

I picked 12 balls and 6 bobbleheads (4 baseball, 2 hockey), which we sorta arranged thematically. Years back, I wanted to arrange 12 balls into a clock, which could spawn great phrases such as "it's almost Gary Carter o'clock!" or "5 minutes to Rickey Henderson" or even "I'll be back at half past Ralph Kiner." But making such a clock doesn't seem doable, and I don't have the requisite skill on my own. So this display will meet the need for now.

I'd appreciate any comments, recommendations, etc., especially if you have experience displaying autographs. Thanks for looking.

This is really awesome Robert! That's a great way to enjoy your memorabilia. The clock idea sounds great too, but I imagine it would take a big chunk of wall to display it.

If you knew someone who was a wood worker it could work. I am pretty sure you can get the mechanics of a clock at a retail store ( when I worked at Walmart the arts and crafts department had them) most hobby places should have the UV glass to prevent the signatures from fading, but yes it would be a heavy clock
