Has anyone found good racks / stands to display their bats on? Looking for an alternative to just placing bats against a wall.

Phantom had some bat compartments for sale on their Instagram story, I'd give them a message and see what they have.

How many bats are you looking to hold? And where abouts are you based?

Let’s say 10-15. Based in the US.

For a collection of 10-15, you're probably better off making your own. Few screws, nuts and bolts, a Jigsaw/hacksaw, some sandpaper and timber and build your own would probably the most satisfactory.
If you purely want a cheap alternative, which won't display the bats, but store them upright, then look for a medium sized box of around 50cm x 50cm, cut some cardboard bat boxes in half, and fill the box with them. The bats will slot into the bat boxes, and won't get dented etc.
Something I whipped up last night as I had a big box lying around, and wanted to use it to store some bats. (Admittedly, I'd probably use thicker bits of wood which don't flex as much next time)

All in all, depends if you want it to be practical, or aesthetic. You could even get something like a bookcase that is suitably large enough and modify it to hold bats.

I use a nice old fashioned wooden umbrella stand - does the job (plenty on eBay)

Thanks mate. Will give it a try. The unofficial collection (what the Mrs does not know about) is larger ;)
