My new pick up - 1869 Red Stockings image, Harper’s weekly ❤️

[Belfast1933]

Thanks all - I called the rare newspaper dealer that I bought it from and they were really helpful in terms of finding a way to safely display it and help prevent light damage, etc.

The pages actually separate so it’s easy to have a double page display in my frame - the Harpers cover (“Journal of Civilization??”) on one side, and the team image page on the other. Just using a frame with UV glass like is used with artwork.

My baseball room is like a little museum right now and this will be a fun sidebar to the “tour” I like to give my guests… their interest in cards only lasts for 5-10 mins, usually!

Yes, great pickup! If you plan to pick up other woodcuts, Itoya's Profile series is fantastic for display and comes in various sizes. Here's another variation from Leslie's Illustrated. Happy hunting!

I second the recommendation of Itoya products. I swear by them for all my individual bigger than a baseball card sized flat items, and when I had a Topps collection I kept the 8 & 9 card pages in Itoya portfolios, too.
