    Only have 6-7, so I used the ones you found on Amazon and have them on a shallow picture frame shelf.

    I used the ones from amazon and then glued them into an inexpensive shadow box frame I got at Michaels.

    How do you even get a guitar pick collection? I have photos with Ed, Stone’s setlist from San Diego 09, drumstick from Beck 2006 in Tucson (oh and their daily schedule from that show) but picks?? I would think getting 1 is pure luck

    I'll try and find photos but we created some 120 pick display inserts to hold the picks in a poster frame that is hinged and can be opened. The inserts were pearl jam etched with a classic font and a few stickmen..Came out great in the end

    This is a great thread. I’ve had the privilege of playing in an opening band and acquiring picks from the headliners and never really thought about displaying them before.

    How do you keep them in place?  I bought a similar insert, a few more spaces, but they dropped like a game of plinko when I turned it vertical.

    This is just my EV picks I have a similar setup for Jeff still deciding what photo I want to use for Mike and Stone. All mine were acquired from the man himself at a show. Photo is my own taken at 8/22/98 Barrie Ontario, CA:

    I forgot to take photos of mine but have found a few old photos that give you the idea. These are full now and onto the third one🤯

    The photos dont pick out the etchings well but they look great in person, the stickman is right in the middle

    If you are in the first few rows near Mike, you can end up with quite a few picks!

    At TOTD in L.A., I ended up with 5 of Mike's picks.
