To Stuff or not to Stuff

[blackiris]

So I have a game worn pair of batting gloves signed by Greg Maddox- Future hall of famer-best pitcher still playing (my opinion) and happens to be my husbands idol!
In mounting these special little items the question is:
Do you stuff them with acid free tissue paper to give them more demenison? Or not? I don't want to make them look like an actual hand but they are soooooooo boring flat. What do you guys do? Thanks!

By the way, they are going in an acrylic box (UV of course!) that is about 2 1/2 inches deep.

How about incorporating a piece of a bat into the box, and wrapping them around the bat?

No stuffing.

If you choose to stuff the gloves, I suggest using polyester quilt batting. It is chemially OK forever, and keeps its loft better than cotton.

Ditto. Except the "chemially" part..... it's chemically. Bet nobody ever that they would see that coming.....

Looks like Jim was borrowing Baer's keyboard.

What do I keep thinking about Thanksgiving each time I read this thread??
