Memories aren’t the only things worth preserving. For collectors, memorabilia carries just as much meaning — each piece a story, a moment or even a connection to history. But displaying those keepsakes isn’t always so simple. Frames take up space, paper fades with time and traditional options don’t always do it justice.
That’s where metal prints come into play — they’re sleek, vibrant and built to last. For one Pictures Plus customer and memorabilia collector, what started as a single metal print in 2016 turned into a lifelong hobby. Today, his collection of metal prints is well-over 500, and each piece is a story preserved in vibrant color and detail.
Why Metal Prints Stand Out
The avid UH sports fan was hooked from their first print metal print. He noted the sharpness, depth and way colors come alive is unlike anything else they had seen in print before.
Some of the benefits of metal prints include:
- Resistant to fading, moisture, and UV light- perfect for Hawai'i homes
- Lightweight and ready to hang, no frame required.
- Designed to showcase photos with unmatched color and vibrancy
From One Print to Five Hundred
The journey began with one University of Hawai‘i Mānoa football print — a keepsake turned centerpiece. Soon, every new piece became more than just a photo; it was a signed connection to the players and the stories they carried. Today, that single print has grown into a gallery celebrating decades of UH Mānoa football greatness.
Metal prints protect every piece from fading, moisture and wear, ensuring that signed memorabilia and the memories they hold remain vibrant for years to come. Over time, this collector’s walls have become a gallery worthy of a sports hall of fame wall.
The Pictures Plus Experience
Before these prints find their place on a wall, there's a team that makes it all possible. This UH football superfan highlights the role of Pictures Plus Design Consultants in helping choose sizes, ensure resolution and bring his ideas to life.
It’s that blend of local expertise and personal care that keeps him coming back, while planning to grow an ever-expanding gallery of memories.

Tips for Starting a Metal Print Collection
We asked for his words of advice for someone that's just starting their metal print collection:
- Start with one meaningful photo. The right image makes all the difference.
- Think beyond frames. Metal prints can be displayed solo or as part of a gallery wall.
- Mix and match sizes. Large statement prints make an impact, while smaller ones fill shelves and corners
