Somebody here once said when his wife asked how much it cost he'd say 10 dollars each.

There are different ways to deal with wives.
If my wife asks me "How much?", usualy I say: "Don't ask,- if you know less, you would live longer"
Also, with each purchase of the award, you buy flowers for your wife. Sometimes it works.
If you buy something very... very expensive - just devide the price in 10 or more.

Some of my nicer orders. Best pic I can manage for now. But they will improve.

I use the same method to display as Dave. Awards gently pressed between glass and velvet (or in this case, ultra suede)

You can mount the case vertically, on a wall, stand it up on a desk or credenza, turn it upside down and shake it, hand it to a friend to examine and nothing will move.

Then you can open it, turn the awards over and put them back where they belong with no bother. If you want you can lock these cases for a little more security.

What I like best about this mounting system, is that it is totally fluid and mobile. If the rest of you are like me, your mounted awards are constantly changing.

The next time you see them they will be arranged differently, and their numbers increased (never diminished)

I would hate to mount them in some fashion permanently and never be able to to change or improve on the display without a major teardown and reconstruction.
