Lawyers office is lined with T206's

[FrankWakefield]

If the slabs are behind uv glass and the lumens are low, then the cards have a chance. I've seen plastic sleeves, like slit tubes, that can be put over fluorescent bulbs, to filter the uv. He needs something... I always worried about a client thinking they were paying too much for an attorney if he had a bunch of great baseball stuff displayed... Hope he get's a Doyle. And that's a fine accumulation of cards. He stayed with his passion and slayed the monster.

That's the "Connecticut" Wagner from REA's 2010 auction.

It is my collection and I have learned a lot from many of you. Bill Latzko really helped me with the collection as a friend, mentor and seller of many of the cards. Thanks to your posts, I am immediately having the glass case coated in UV protection. I have not noticed any fading in the cards. I also removed the most valuable cards when the article was posted and placed them in a safe deposit box. I am replacing those with reprints and will only bring them back for short term special occasions.

Thank you very much everyone. I also thought you might be interested that I took some raw cards and had them made into lucite coasters with my firm name and logo inside the lucite coaster. I thought they came out really nice with no bleeding. Unfortunately, most people don't have a clue what they are.

I think if my office was lined with an entire T206 set I'd actually be thrilled to go to work. Awesome looking cards.

I'd be afraid to leave until after the cleaning staff was gone.

Even if you hadn't seen this thread no doubt some one here would have gotten in contact with you about protecting them from the fluorescent lighting. Great collection!

Have you considered buying a Pope Mobile type vehicle (with UV coating), lining the interior with your cards, and traveling the country dispensing legal advice?

Aren't you worried about security? I've had my collection stolen once and it was an awful time. Luckily I got most back....but I'd be awfully concerned about advertising my collection like that.

Either way, congrats on a great collection.

Great set. Congrats! I've been watching you climb the PSA rankings the past 2-3 years (and passing my set). Well done!
