Right now for the certified PC I am putting everything into a one touch in top of an Ultr Pro acrylic thee prong stand. These are cheap enough, bit the one touches are pricey at this quantity. I am thinking about changing to a wall mounted display with glass. Someone posted about a week ago some sweet displays they pulled off eBay.

Michael's in the states (not sure if there is something similar in CA) has some decent hangable frames for cards but the cases included really don't allow for anything but the thickness of base cards
there was a user from Canada who used to post on Beckett (mrmajor) who did some nice looking custom frames/display cases
see bottom of following post >> http://www.freewebs.com/crownline/

I use those as well
except I put my cards in top loaders and attach them to the frame with sticky velcro
works great and allows you to display around 20 cards that way

Here's the setup I had a little while ago, before I started renovating the spare room for a baby coming in March. I'm a glass technician, so I was able to do a lot of that work myself, including making my own holders (not the toploaders, obviously). Anyway, here's some pictures.

Best advice...be creative. Do what works for you. If you choose to display them on the wall then go with what is above. If you display them in a China cabinet then get one used at a garage sale cheap. Plenty of ways to do it. Just do what works best for you.

Thanks! I actually had a lot of fun with that. The piece in between the two small shelving cases is a piece of mirror on the back with small lexan shelves glued on the front. The shelves are longer than the mirror is wide and fit into existing (I assume decorative) holes in the sides of the cases, holding the whole thing up.
Yeah, I'm a little proud of my work on that. Unfortunately, I've had to take it all down, but it's for a good cause.
This is exactly it. Like I said, I work with glass all day long, so I end up finishing a few display cases people have custom made by carpenters. For the pieces in the above pictures, I found the two small display cases which belonged to my wife. She wanted to throw them out, since the insides had been pretty ruined by something that had exploded. I cleaned all the hardware off and redid the glass shelves with regular glass and put new bronze tinted doors on it. The China cabinet I got from my grandmother and replaced the glass with, again, bronze tinted glass.
If you're good at making things with pretty much any material, it can be a lot of fun to make your own display and it adds another level of pride to your collection and, honestly, is more fun to show off than the cards themselves :)
And yes, be creative. I'm gonna post a couple more pics here. Closeups of the cardholders I made for myself. Materials used include glass, mirror and screenbar (the same used to make the screens in your windows) and they're held together with silicone and painted with windshield primer. In the end whatever works for you is best, just trying to throw some ideas out there for you.
