wow steve! thats killer! I am going to do that exact same thing with my team set when i m done! Do you do that by just laying the cards down and pressing the glass against them?

Well, they ain't Hindus, but they're mine

Yes. The cards are free floating on a bed of cotton covered by the black material. Note too that this is one large plexiglass screwdown, not glass, though I suspect that glass may work as well.

Nice thing about this manner of display is that there is no damage to the cards since they are not affixed by glue or otherwise.

Jim inspired me. SC 649 OP subset.

Old Mill southern leaguers subset.

Nicely done, guys. There's no faking it when you lay 'em out and snap a photo.

Awesome stuff guys! Keep 'em coming!

Johnny- we NEED to see your scraps up close, get in there tighter and click away! too much glare :(

Hey nice carpet.

The cards, eh.:D

JimB,

Love those Allen & Ginters. If I ever start in the 19th century it will be with those. Does that represent the entire set?

Also I don't recall having seen any Ty Cobb backs in any "show your cards" threads. Maybe I just forgot............

Nice and thanks for sharing.

Gets my vote for most artistic:

Nice Jim !!

Jim- awesome line-up of cards...that bottom row is insane (Cobb, Brown Lenox, BL 460, etc)...thanks for showing.

+1 :eek:

1911 Obaks
 

1911 Obaks

These ten represent all the baseball players in the set. There are 50 total cards, but personally I am only interested in the baseball. The N29 set has six baseball cards including Buck Ewing.

Thanks everyone.
JimB

Those Hindu and EPDG collections are awesome!
JimB

JimB, incredible collection. More importantly, the way you handle yourself on the board does not go unnoticed.

Thanks for sharing.

Great thread..... You guys are making me want more cards....


Here are a few of mine...

Thanks to Barry Sloate, who got me started on this set back in 1985 by selling me the 42 non-BB cards (when these cards were very affordable).

Trading for Hindu's ;)

Brian- Wow. ok, you win! :) ...that's incredible.

What's the approx. break down of your rare backs (total number of CB's, Hindus, etc)?

i did a quick count of your "Hindu" photo...about 165-ish?


PS- Turner- that's a super impressive photo!

Hi Turner,
I don't have anything you need... Most of my T205 set, except for the rare backs are "hand me downs" from you....;) I'm only twice your age...
Hope you are well Brian

PS What set are you working on now....


Hey Michael,
I could tell you... But then you would sleep with the fishes:D

I'll call you tomorrow.

Hey Luca,
Next time you come to High Point I will show them to you....And buy you a steak... no fish...
Be well Brian


PS Here is a Uzit for you....

And they are in the hands of one of the nicest guys in the hobby. Incredible collection!

So good to see some of them MEMBERS of the forum still around. I'm done with the attitudes. One parting shot.

Haha! I bet Turner will be happy to see this put on here! :) Wondering if you guys still have any of the cards I traded you guys a few years back when we met in Johnstown? You probably have upgraded everything by now. Take it you are missing the Hoblitzell? ;)

Major league players who lived or played in Kansas.

Those have all been upgraded. That trade was a very pivotal point in the set.

Thanks,

Matt E.

Glad you guys have stuck with it! That pic makes me want to do so many things with my collection. (Must stay focused......must say focused.....)

Hi Jimi,
Me too.... If I had been as focused as Turner over the last 30+ years then I'd probably be done with a Super Set.... Too many "other cards" and distractions....
Be well Brian


PS I hope to see Matt and Turner in Chicago this year....

Great pics, all.

Rawn -- you should think about adding a T206 to your Carrigan collection ;)


Regards,

Richard.

Always wanted to do this with all of my cards...it all started with the T206 Matty Dark cap in the center, and has spiralled out of control since then. I guess I will need a bigger round table sometime.
