I thank everyone for their very kind comments. I have learned much from everyone on this board and Bill Latzko, in particular, has mentored me and helped me acquire many of the items. I will try to find out who designed and built the display and post the information Unfortunately, the person I hired passed away, but I believe he contracted it out. I have removed the bottom row of most valuable cards and put them in a safe deposit box but will return them for special occasions. I could not take a chance leaving them there even though the case also has a sophisticated alarm and 24/7 video monitoring. I do plan to have a vintage baseball museum in Rochester, Michigan at some point so everyone can enjoy the wonder of baseball and vintage cards. I have other vintage baseball collections and, at some point, I will show those as well.

Thanks again everyone!

Powell

Default Impressive!

In the words of Darth Vader, "IMPRESSIVE, MOST IMPRESSIVE!"

Powell,
Being from Indiana I'm close to you. So if you ever open a museum, count on me forking out the admission price to get in!

Thanks for showing us!

Anyone know what UV glass like that would cost?

Thanks,
Tim Kindler

I count 7 missing slots which would put the total at 524. How many unique cards?

Absolutely amazing! Very well done!

I am curious about what backs you have (not that it matters), just curious, what backs do you have an example of? All or most of them I suspect.

Default Dad?

Powell or should I say, Dad...

Do you remember that night in 1972 at the bar of the Holiday Inn in Poughkeepsie... That girl was my mom and you are my father.

I love you so please put me in the will.... today.

No need for a DNA test - really... It's obvious we are related because we both collect baseball cards. You own a T206 Honus... I once saw a picture of one on the internet.

True story. In college I dated a girl at Vassar in Poughkeepsie. Her last name was POWELL.

I kid you not.

True story. I married a Vassar girl. Might've helped that I graduated from Vassar as well. Her name was not Powell.

Aha - I see what you are trying to do, Frank. Your trying to hone in on my new t206 collection that my daddy gave me.

Well, it's not going to work. You are not related to us - right, Powell?

True story. I was married once, and we both like Boog Powell, but none of us went to Vassar.

True story. My gal Powell had a younger brother (with the same name). Had the relationship survived, I could (and thought for awhile I would) be the brother-in-law of a future Wagner owner.

Tony, your mom (??) on the other hand, had one (or two) too many that night in 1972. They only recently were able to reopen the room where she passed out on the floor. How do I know? I read the review of the next guest in that room,

"There was no elevator and no one even offered to help us to our room on the 2nd floor with our bags. It was like they closed the doors in 1972 and reopened yesterday. Acoustic ceiling tiles, mold and basic disrepair. The lack of fire sprinklers in the rooms was alarming. The linens were clean and the bartender was nice."

With clean linens and a nice bartender, it seems more likely that the barkeep is actually your father. The name of the bartender in 1972 was in fact, Dick Davis. Touche.

I fully admit that my marriage to the Powell clan was not consummated, but your claim, Tony, has more holes in it than all the cheese in Switzerland.
Stop your wailing at the wall of Powell. Neither of us has a leg to stand on.

Frank -
Isn't Powell's Monster Number 1000 since he stated he completed the set?

I recall his posting from last year when he landed the Doyle card.

I don't enjoy watching the Barrett Jackson classic car auction because it is just too depressing!
Thanks for posting pics of your fabulous collections. You just made my depressed morning! 😊
