Hi

I'm just getting started in collecting patches and was wondering how everyone displays their collection?

I've had a look around the net for some albums but with no luck.

Hi and welcome!!

My wife also found me some nice binders. I use 3 inch d-rings, sheet protectors, card stock, and alcohol free double sided stickies.. I mount about 2 to 3 patches on each side of the card stock, and slide them into the protectors.

I have every US manned flight patch and many others. All the US manned flights are displayed on my wall, in order. They are mounted one by one, using a piece of sticky-backed velcrow (which doesn't damage the patch and is easy to remove) on black foam-board. It looks really nice.

They take up 9 1/2 pieces of foam board and an entire wall :-) One board is for Mercury and Gemini, one for Apollo through ASTP, and the rest are STS-1 to 107. There is also a separate cut of baord with the Exp patches running down (1-8).
