These look pretty nice, and they include an additional finishers medal so you can wear one while you admire the other.

Most however, just end up in a shoe box in the closet.

I kind of have a bulletin board in my room for school stuff but my latest race pics go there.
I also have a rack that looks like a key rack that I hang my PR medals on and then I write my times and the year in black sharpie on the back - then, non PR medals or finisher medals that aren't from big important reaces go in the box in the closet

The elusive goal of the Boston Marathon as a fitting logo for the BAA, right? Also, the mascot of the New Braunfels High School Unicorns.

Really? I'm sure the football team loves that
I can't remember how much of a joke their gesture was, but shape your hand like you would gesturing a beer glass, but now place your thumb onto the middle of your forehead. From this position, extend your hand outward away from your forehead in the shape of a horn. That's apparently the sign of the Unicorn.
Medals go in shoeboxes. Numbers in a scrapbook. Shirts get worn, put in a pile for throwaways, or given to goodwill. Pictures (what few I have) are currently in a box.
Oddly, my numbers are the things I actually look at from time to time.
Thanks for the feed back. I keep my bibs and results in a scrap book, and most of my medals in a drawer in the bed room. This race was special enough I want to keep the things out for a bit.
Googleing shadow box gave me plenty of ideas. I think I am going to try for something like this:
I'm thinking using the mylar blanket (the printed side) for the background, then matting the things I put in the box on black.
