Default Help with 500 Home Run Display

I am almost finished putting together autographs of the 26 members of the 500 HR club. I know with steroids that many members are out of favor but that is OT. For 23 of the 26 I have focused on mainstream cards because for the most part that takes any question of authentication off the board. And having Real autographs was / is my first priority so 21 are modern cards from packs Mantle and Mays are cards that I have owned more than 30 years and had SGC authenticated 3 (I discuss later) . Second is when possible to get cards from when a player was active. For some players like Sosa there were only a few choices but a couple were very nice (I chose an Upper Deck evolve auto) third criteria was for consistency I picked the 97 Donruss signature set for a few auto's, Ud SP for a few. So When I started this venture I had 7 cards that fit the board and over the past few months have picked up 15 others and have my eye on another ending this weekend. So should have 23 by this time next week. I plan on shopping at the national for the last 3 Ruth, Foxx Ott and have not decided on cards or postcards or cuts for these I will Have to see what my budget looks like this summer (how much money my wife gives me for the trip) And wonder if anyone else has a similar display and would share Pic's or even similar themes with mostly modern auto's and some vintage. I can see a 3000 hit display would be quite impressive or perfect game pitchers etc. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jonathan
