I was once in deep discussion to loan (long term), my 524 card t206 to the HOF for display. After several weeks of discussion, they ultimately declined, concluding that being so large, the set would overwhelm the other baseball card and it would also place too much emphasis on one era/period of baseball. I was disappointed, but I fully understand (and actually agree with) the logic.
That's weird.
When I went in 75, they had the entire Topps set in a huge rotating display. Probably uncut sheets, but I don't remember.
The few old judges they had were in small frames in a dark corner of the stairwell....
