And the winner is...

Me.

Apparently I was the winner for the Caps Mobile Fantasy Challenge for the playoffs. It was a drawing between myself and 3 others that had all accumulated 22 points during the playoffs. Somehow I managed to win the team signed jersey which is now on it's way to my house. This marks the second time I've ever won anything in my life, and the last time it was a glass piggy bank from Maryland Bank and Trust @ the Charles County Trade Show about, ummm, 20 years ago.

So now I'm shopping for jersey display cases, anyone have any good places to find one?

Congrats! My wife got a team signed jersey at a market research thing at KCI last year (which ultimately wound up being that Scarlett Caps thing). I had a good experience with Michaels, but that’s because I’m a cheap bastard.

Note: Make sure the glass/plastic is museum quality, as the sun will fade the sigs out.

Congrats. I was one point behind after game 1 but had the misfortune of being forced to pick a player other than Ovechkin for game 2 haha.

Congrats!

I’m not sure you need a specialized jersey display case — any quality framing shop should be able to do the job. We use Georgetown Frame Shoppe (the extra “pe” is for “pay extra”!) for artwork, but they’ve also done some specialty memorabilia for us, too.

I’ll have to drop them a line, my only prob is that usually the jersey display cases are actually cheaper, ~$200 for a nice one, then what I’ve been quoted for a custom frame job ~$300-350 last time I asked someone. I also have my Ovie Nat’l Team jersey I need done. What did they charge for the memo work?

yeah I have a Jim Craig 1980 USA autographed jersey (the only thing I ever won, and at a non hockey related work conference of all places) and an Ovi signed jersey for paying with revolution card, but have not been able to bring myself to shell out the money for the display cases yet. $200 isn’t too bad. Thats about what I had found them for.

I unfortunately can’t remember how much they charged to frame our Nats stuff from Opening Day 2005 (collectible coin, ticket, etc.). We had them frame our signed Young Guns poster and it was definitely a couple hundred bucks. If you like the display case for $200, it might actually be a good deal; I just don’t have any experience with them.

Well when I finally figure out what I’m going to do I’ll post some pics for you guys.
