Not sure how you would like to display your collection, but how about in box frames?

Personally, I keep my pins in trading card pages in binders. I slot each pin (with backing card) into each trading card space and punch the pin part through the back of the sheet protector. This keeps the pins in place and prevents them from falling out of the pages.

Another way to display pins is to put your pins onto cork board, or other similar material.

I saw somewhere that someone used a dowel rod and wide (probably 1 - 1 1/2 inch) ribbon. They hung long strands of ribbon from the dowel rod and displayed the pins like on a lanyard. One of these days when I finally get to it, I'm going to use a corkboard but paint it to look nicer than a plain corkboard. You could also frame that metallic speaker screen stuff and poke the pins through that for a different look.

My son has some in "box frames", similar to shadow boxes just not so deep. As a back, I added a foam sheet and we stuck the pin in this backing. The foam sheets come in various colors. DS can easily access the pins, allowing him to pull the pins out for our WDW trips.

I used cork boards and painted the frames black on them.
