Ideas on mounting and displaying video game marquees?

I've got a small collection of video game marquees. I'm wondering what the best way to mount these on a wall would be? Anyone have any ideas?
 
Using mirror hangers is the best way so you don't damage the marquees in case you might ever want to sell, trade, or use for a game...they are the clear ones that come in all kinds of shapes and sizes..
 
That's a great idea.

I was also thinking of stringing several of them together, like have two verticle "straps" either of some type of fabric, or wood, spaced 15" apart so they could be mounted on wall studs and then attaching the marquees to the straps.
 
I have had GREAT success using the 3M Command Picture Hanging Strips (also known as Damage-Free Hanging strips). These allow your walls to stay unmarked and they hold a lot of weight. I've have about 40 marquees hung in my basement and never had any problems what so ever. I highly recommend these.

Note there are several types of these -- I use the medium size. The ones I use hold the two sticky sides together with velcro, wihich makes for moving or adjusting the marquees very easy.
 
I used mirror hangers to mount mine. I _was_ going to build light boxes for all the marquees that were the same as the front inch or so of a cabinet (so it would kind of look like the games were mounted like a deer :) ... Turned out to be a little more ambitious than me! )

Here's what I did:

Still haven't decided on a way to light it, though.
