Default Displaying our collections (Revisited)

We all have our own unique style when it comes to displaying our collections.

With regards to displaying my catcher card collection, I enjoy viewing them daily displayed in period display cases, bookcases, cabinets, and showcases.

Finally took a few photos with my digital camera of how I like to display my collection. Of course when I add a new piece to the collection it sometimes forces me to redesign the layout of the display which is part of the fun.

I sometimes feel that I'm a showcase collector as well.

One of my favorite display cabinets is a circa 1910 two door oak bookcase. It holds my 1911 Zeenuts, 1912 Zeenuts, 1912 Home Run Kisses, C46s, T207s, T210s, Old Mill Cabinet, and 1915 Cracker Jacks currently.

Another square mahagony display holds my Obaks, T4s, Catcher Trophy, favorite catcher masks and mitts.

A third Teak Cabinet holds my Ira Thomas and George Gibson type collections together with some T3 Turkey Reds and other favorite T, E and D cards.

Furthermore, a tall Howard Miller mahagony display is home to my Chief Meyers type collection which is highlighted by my run of his colored S74 silks.

Another cabinet holds a wide range of cards including: T206s, T205s, M116s, D310s, and postcards.

And lastly a mahagony medical cabinet holds some of my Roger Bresnahan and Gabby Street types as well as some amateur real picture postcards of catchers.

Let's see some more displays!
