Wall of Cards
 
I am really excited to let everyone know that beginning March 30 the Detroit Institute of Arts will display my T 206 complete set Wall of Cards and some of my other baseball memorabilia. The Detroit Institute of of Arts is a world class museum and I think this will be great for our hobby. I hope many of you will come out to see it as it will run all year parallel to the baseball season.

Congratulations! I, too, wish I lived closer.

Your generosity should be a big boost to the hobby and, hopefully, to the city.

You should be very proud!


I believe I saw a Wagner at Cooperstown in '99, but to see the complete set would be amazing!

Wow, that would be great to see! Very nice of you to share with the public. I see Wagner and Plank in the previous thread. Magie must be in there as well. Is this a full 524 with Doyle too?

I have seen this collection displayed by Powell. It is one of the nicest collections I have ever seen. I hope he includes the signed T206's as well. Can't wait to see it again. Thanks for doing this!!!

Very cool! I've always thought it would be enjoyable to share some of my collection in a library or local museum, so props to you for making it happen and living the dream. Thanks for sharing your cards it and promoting our hobby.

It's always good to promote the hobby. Good luck with the exhibit. It sounds like it will be really nice.

How long will it be on display for? I am a member of a couple of groups and would like to schedule some outings for them to see it. I was just in Florida and saw the Wagner (never know if they have the original or a reprint on display) at Sports Immortals Museum. I am at 400 plus but looking forward to seeing the toughies and Southern Leaguers in person.

Cant wait to venture down to see it, I live outside Ann Arbor, not too far.
