question about medal display...

[joelhall]

... because noones bored of reading that heading again

anyway i was wondering - "mini coin easels", "plexi-coin stands", "coin pedestals", "little plastic things that are cool for standing my crosses on" call them what you will. weve all seen them and theyre cheap and do a good job. now ive been thinking - as ill be making my own display cabinets, and was thinking about making some small easels out of wood, covering the top where theres contact with an archival grade material, and so on (to look swanky of course) - what are the archival qualities of the plastic ones, and where can i buy these in britain?

ive looked around but they only seem to be available in the states (postage from there would probably defeat the object of them being cheap), so if it is possible to find them here, where are they all hiding?

thanks for your time guys
