And that George Davies of yours is a magnificent example of what I'm talking about. I like it even more because he went to UW-Madison, and played for the Brewers (even if it was the Brewers of the old American Association). Congrats on a really wonderful addition to your collection.

How do you display these in your home, John? I'd like to pick up a few of the Cabs once I have a little bit more room (and money to spend). I'd have to mount them in my office. I just couldn't own them, and keep them locked away.

Right now it's in a closet. The limited amount of shelf space I have is dedicated to memorabilia. I've found that displaying cards requires alot of space. Hopefully that will change soon, we're moving later this fall and I'll finally have my man-cave to display more of my collection.
