I have a few of the 1914 b18 blankets. Whats your thoughts on the set. Is this set on the pretty easy, not to hard side to complete? How do you guys store / display the blankets? Toploaders, plastic sheets, or big screwdowns? Thanks, Ron

This is a difficult set to complete. However, the good news is that not many people collect them. The more difficult ones are the Brown infields and the Clevland and St Louis yellows. Forget the red infields unless your very wealthy. I put my set together in the 1980's before EBAY so maybe it's not as difficult. Back then, it was a rare pleasure to find a dealer that had some for sale.

I store mine in a three ring binder inside plastic sheets, back to back.

Thanks, for the great info. I love the look of these blankets, I wonder if they can be graded? If people want to show there blankets, please post them - would love to see some. Ron

I do not have the full set. I have at least one of every player, but when I got to about 160 I lost interest. The last 20 would have cost more than I was willing to spend and by that time I was working on a few other sets. Here are a few more on another wall.
