Default Displaying your collections

Posted By: Jason L

Aside from the fact that I don't mind admitting that I am openly jealous of your collection, your wife's understanding, the amount of room and equipment with which you have available to display your collection, that photo of Varitek/A-Rod, I am utterly speechless. (That background noise you hear is the wind whistling through my ears as it passes through my head, which is otherwise totally empty as I sit here thoughtlessly entranced by the photos!)

I would like to offer up that I am a CT resident and I may be able to free up Sunday afternoons fairly easily!


Honestly, hyperbole aside, -very very nice stuff, and thanks for sharing. Two concerns:
1) concentrated light exposure at close range may hurt the cards over time? 2) You said this was in your basement, which looks great. You probably already thought about this, but below grade rooms can develop damp or wet spots, or otherwise have humidity troubles. If so, get a dehumidifier. Also, one of the pics looks like it has a window right above your 19th century case. If this window is close to level with the outside ground, you'll want to steer surface water run-off away from it with some grading work...I don't mean to sound offensively overbearing, but I have had my troubles with water in the past and thought it worthy of saying here...just in case.
