Hello
Martin and R N Hartman

Sports Memorabilia compaines like Carney Plastics Inc
http://commerce.idmi.net/ecommerce/catalog.asp?CID=123&key=&url=&CI=427

Sell very large, clear plastic cases up to the size to display "basketball,
football"?size item"

I think they also have large wall hanging cases 30"x30" or larger with shelfs.

But there many others on the net, I like there's cause they have a mirro on the
bottom or you can get them in black. Any case just follow the link ot type in
Sports memorabilia cases and you will see some cool display cases.

Hello Martin,

Saw your inquiry and I don't know how large your slices are but you might be
interested in checking out some of our larger size membrane boxes.? Box sizes
with O.D. up to 150 x 300 mm? for thin slices and 250 x 200 x 200 mm which will
handle an iron individual up to 3371 g. although I did have a roundish 12 pound
Canyon Diablo iron? in one until we had an earthquake and it fell off the top
shelf of a bookcase onto the floor.? For slices, we list recommended max. sizes
for objects inside the box, but you can push that number if your specimen is for
display and not a fragile object for transportation, which need the shock
absorbing engineering of the stretched membrane. The clear membrane suspends the
specimen inside the box and you can look at it from both front and back at the
same time.? Our business website lists all the dimensions (O.D. and I.D. of
boxes) at www.membranebox.com
