Re: This UK-Based Company Is Making "Museum-Grade" Display Cabinets For Your Pokémon Cards

@TryToBeHopeful There's a lot of variables that comprise the final cost of a museum cabinet. As for the glass material itself, it is mostly a question of interaction with light, security so that in the case it is damaged the displayed items are not and lastly the seal that maintains a stable atmosphere.
Then you typically have sensors, such as humidity, temperature and light sensors, and of course security sensors.
Regulated and remote controled DALI lighting is no miniscule item either.
By far the most expensive system is an active gas circulation system if your exhibits needs it but that is a very rare occurence.
