That is a fantastic display. I can remember seeing the Hall's "evolution of the baseball" for the first time.
I would love to see some of the bats in the T206 collection. I'm also told there is a collector trying to recreate all of the equipment in the Spalding Guides of the late 1880s and another who has done an "evolution of the Brooklyn Dodgers uniform" display beginning with 1913. I would love to see more of these ambitious collections. |

The Dodger uniform exhibition I’ve seen, and it’s wonderful. It’s part of what may be the single most impressive baseball collection. Here are two pictures that I found online.

Are the items in a private collection, or in a museum

The uniforms are part of a private collection, but were displayed in a museum-like setting. The collection contains a large number of very creative displays. When someone conceives of a display like a recreated turn-of-the-century Spalding gymnasium, you have to tip your hat. The creativity of some collectors goes unacknowledged.

Looks like part of the Gary Cypres collection. His museum in LA used to be open to the public. Not sure if that’s still the case. Regardless, it was very impressive.

The Scheinman collection of baseball uniforms is another truly original undertaking:
https://www.forbes.com/pictures/efhf.../#12a41d2d5669 I'm less interested in "who has the best collection" than in "who has done something original"? I'm not as impressed by a Wagner and see it as a better indicator of your net worth than your vision. |
