I will plan to be at the museum between about 12:30 and 3 on Tuesday. Would enjoy meeting any other N54 folks there if you're in the area.

SO fresh that some fellow board members will actually be able to roll there.

Scott-- thanks, sir. Means a lot. Chatting in person and getting to see some of your mind-blowing historical pieces was such a pleasure. Utmost respect.

Very cool Matt. I always enjoy your pickups and I know this would be a huge honor for anyone. You deserve the accolades. I'm all about display of my collection and wish I could see this one. I'm planning a trip to stop in there but not until next summer. Please post some photos here if anyone ends up going.
All the best,
Drew

Matt--

Hey pal, just a few thoughts. Will there by chance be a ledger at the museum display area for comments by the privileged who will get to view the various historical objects?

Also, I don't know if you would feel so inclined but, on another side, have you been asked to host your own display, so as to answer questions from the interested as to the history of the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, and in essence, why was this card selected for the exhibit rather than a Ruth or Cobb?

Being in the comfort and security of a museum, I would think it would be an absolute delight to have the opportunity to succinctly discuss the merits of our beloved 52 Topps Mick, answer questions, and as a personal treat for yourself, enjoy watching the reactions of the young and aged when they gaze upon your gem.

Just some ideas, and perhaps they're illogical and improbable, but that's how I think sometimes. ---Brian Powell

Good question about the visitor's ledger; would be cool. Will ask them.

I can speak to your other question, in that this is an official Topps Exhibit, so cards like a Cobb/Cobb or Ruth Rookie are not in the offing.

Do wish I lived close to see the other Topps cards and even the movie history pieces, but will be here in LA.

Also, here is a direct link to the Louisville Slugger homepage and the Topps Retrospective...
