Bump.....anyone got anything new?

Very Impressive!
 

Rob,

You've answered the classic question, "What happens when you cross a diehard Giants fan with a space efficiency expert?"

Nicely done -- I've never seen the vertical-hangars approach applied to pennants. You get a lot more in the same space.

Thanks for sharing,

Mike

"Necessity is the mother of invention."

I mentioned some time back that I was doing a bit of a room-remodel. And then I never followed up with photos. So, here is my ridiculous room filled with baseball/hockey/wrestling/boxing/entertainment memorabilia. Pics aren't great, sorry...my collection of soda advertising lighted clocks plays havoc with the iphone camera.

Great collection John! Thanks for sharing pictures of your collection. :)

john
who's a's jersey is that in the first photo?

pete

Thanks guys.

Pete, that's a Jim Spencer jersey from '81.

My room. Another to go yet.

Mystery solved!

Now I know who constantly outbid me on the very best pennants. :mad:

Jaw-dropping displays, Jeff! No adjectives can do it justice.

Incredible stuff... Can't wait to see what's yet to come! :eek:

Awesome room and displays, Jeff. You have a beautiful collection ...and family. :) I'll have to carve our some free time to study your pictures more. ( I love the Chicago football pennnant and that framing job.)

Jeff your room is fantastic! Great stuff! Where did you find the curio coffee table? I have been searching for one for two years!

Jeff,

Obviously the pennants are amazing, but I also really like:

The ball boxes display

The fact you use the sides of the cabinets to display items -- great idea!

And the fact you have a book shelf dedicated to things other than baseball.

REALLY enjoyed your photos -- thanks for sharing.

Greg

What I find so interesting in all of these rooms is how the 25 cent pin or ribbon sits proudly next to the $5,000 pennant, trophy etc.

Wow...fantastic collection Jeff.

I love that too... It doesn't have to be expensive to be cool. It's more about the sentiment, aesthetics and memories involved, than the monetary value.

Thanks all.
Mike for the table I had it made in Malaysia.

Thanks Jeff, it looks great!

I found a few with a google search:

For mine, I got 2 display cases from Indian River Supply and put them on top of a $20 Ikea table.

Hey Rob, that looks great! I may have to try that idea.

My room is in such a mess, if I wasn't married to a real live saint either me or my stuff would be out on the street!

I may try to post a photo of the mess tonight.

That is gorgeous Jerry!

Greg

Had this built to display some of my pin collection.

Let me just go-ahead and wipe the drool away.

Mike. Amazing collection/beautiful table, sir.

Would love to see a 'Goodyear' blimp view. :)

as would I :D

Wow! :eek:

Thanks for the compliments. I had been looking for some way to display pins so I could enjoy them and easily add new additions. This case meets both those conditions. Added a view from the blimp.

Just incredible. Wow.

Love it! Very nice, Mike!

Some update photos................

Part 2

Love the room Phil, thanks for sharing.

Phil
Nice set up

Beautiful collection Phil

Very well done Phil. A nice mix of sports and mediums and different types of displays to house them. Now if only you could find a larger TV. :D
Drew

Nice Cotuit jersey.

Beautiful, Phil. Quick question...what did you use to hang the baseball gloves above the shelving?

They are on stands. Thanks for the feedback guys!

A few pics of my home office - space was tight, so i only had about 1 1/4 walls to decorate. BTW, Yoda and the Firebird were gifts from my wife, and Donald has been on every desk I've had since grade school. You can't see it in the picture, but the computer is sitting an an antique roll-top desk. The display shelves are antique barrister bookcases that I got after they were torn out of an old county courthouse. I had to open them up to take the pictures because of the glare from the glass.

Love the way you've got the bats displayed - that's beautiful

Some changes to my room. I'm filling my walls up more...

Very nice Eric. Are the balls and bat shown all Yankees or some others mixed in? I see a 55 Williams card so at least one Sox think made the wall:D
Drew

Thanks,

It's mostly Yankees but I have some other randoms on the Wall. With the baseballs on display I have Aaron, Griffey, Paul O'neill (in person), Bernie Williams, Hideki Matsui, plus the following through the mail: boggs, Clemens, Hal Steinbrenner, Josh Hamilton, Kershaw, Rod Carew, Jimmy Key, Ryne Sandberg, Jerry Rice NFL, John Starks NBA, Bobby Doerr, plus Tom Selleck, Richard Dreyfuss all through the mail and last but not least maybe still the only Graig Kreindler signed baseball! Only have 3 bats on display at moment: Ruth 1920's store model above my Kreindler painting, A Nellie Fox bat I just found at a yard sale and a 1999 or 2000 AA Norwich Navigators team signed bat that I got in person and Alfonso Soriano signed (one of my personal faves).

Also have some other random signed photos up, a Bob Feller signed glove, Ty Cobb Check, Hank Greenberg/Gehringer signed display etc... I have Ted Williams signed ball too but keep that stored away. I'll probably rotate soem things in and out of display as time goes on. I Changed all the bulbs to LED to avoid UV rays too.

Here's mine. I had to make the decision to limit mine to only baseball.

Room 2.0
 

I have shown these before but I have gotten around to hanging more things and have received a few more (Circus poster, music box etc...

Hey Bob,

The photos look great! I especially like where you placed your recent REA pickup (circus poster). The only problem is your Cy Young tin in the last photo, its obstructing the view of other items. Maybe you should just let me help you out and take it off your hands. :-P

Regards,
Brent

Great stuff, bobfreedman!

really nice displays Bob
 

Love the eclectic nature and the quality of the examples you've chosen. I couldn't justify another bid or two on the circus poster..... Looks great in your room - wouldn't get the proper attention in mine. Thanks for sharing - always enjoy seeing what other peeps got not hearing about what's in their safety deposit box - although I understand it to some extent with the fear of theft or damage. Suppose I could just hang scans of what I have on the wall or put in my computer files - becomes a slippery slope then as it raises the question of why not just collect the pictures and not have to worry about any of the dilemmas. Soon after - I am awakened from my dream by a knock on the door from the USPS....

Speaking of eclectic... That last post wins the prize for eclectic post of the day.

That said, I wouldn't at all mind a photocopy of the Circus Elephant Poster for my wall :rolleyes:

Great room, Bob! You've amassed quite a terrific vintage collection. :cool:

Here is a video tour of mine...

Mike

Great stuff... Especially the Berg Display Case. What a beautiful and efficient solution to display your autographed cards! And you/your Dad did a wonderful job refurbishing it. Looks great, and makes me want, too. :o

Had this box made for my 1939 Ted Williams M&N a couple of days ago.
Doesn't look exactly as planned, but I guess it's decent enough.

My first post around here as well. :)

Welcome!! What about the case is not what you had in mind? :confused:

Thanks. :)
It looks fine on the outside, though they didn't put in much effort on the inside, at least for the money I paid.

You are in Montenegro? :confused: I'm getting ready mow my lawn before the wife gets home and chastises me. To hell with case go outside and have a brew or six for me! :D

Yes, boiling point temperatures until September, and anyone who wears trousers is an enemy of the state. :)

Cleveland Tickets and Memorabilia
 

I was just granted permission to do as i want with all my "stuff" in a room.
I have looked at all your pictures and am very impressed.
I am going to be putting my tickets, baseballs, jerseys, hats, etc. in this room.
Here are the first couple pictures of my progress.
Andy

A bit more modern and Minnesota themed.

Hall of Shame wall will soon be taken down and replaced with some new framed items I'm waiting on.

More work done in two weeks...
Game Used Jersey Rack (over 50) with storage for all my Authentic Indians Caps...
And my autographed baseball case in the middle of the wall...
Andy

Coming along nicely Andrew, thanks for sharing. I especially like the floating shelves for tickets.

Andrew I love the New Era baseball cap sign! Cool piece!

Nice, Andrew! GO TRIBE!!

Does this happen to anyone else??
 

Love my wife, but come November my room becomes Christmas crap central. This is about 1/3 of the bins in there right now!

I really like the fact all the tubs are Christmas green and red as well...

The start of my new sports room, first wall is done

Sweet, now let's see those Pirates jerseys.

Look forward to seeing the finished product. I had to dig through the archive to find your current room to remember how great your stuff is.

Holy crapping crap! You're not kidding!! As a fan of the Pirates, I am blown away!

Tom C

The new Pirates display will be completed in the next few weeks, pictures will follow

Great work everyone, as always, I'm blown away.

Pirates jersey wall
 

Pirates 1970's jerseys wall is finished

Wow...that's great

Just had a custom border done for my room...
I had autographs made of great Indians baseball players...
They go up just like FatHeads...
It is done in a dark blue and i submitted these to a company on ETSY...
If anyone wants their name let me know and they would be happy to help you...
Andy

Andy that is beyond AWESOME!!!:D

Andy,
That's a really unique way to display your collection. Cool idea!
Happy holidays!

Very cool Andy. The modern scribble of contemporary ball players probably wouldn't look as nice but those iconic signatures from Indians past look incredible. Adam

This has been an amazing thread. So many cool collections presented with aesthetic style. My library is not a "memorabilia room" per se. I call it the Fortress of Solitude. It's where I chill.

David, Very cool. I love your Smokey Joe.

Not baseball - Cleveland browns sports room
 

My Cleveland browns sports room

My first NFL game was at cold, old Municipal Stadium. I would love to see the Browns return to their long lost glory.
