I've pretty much cut down my collecting to finishing up existing projects, and will probably eventually just limit myself to Mantle signed magazines, hof baseballs and sigs in my hof book. With that said, I just got my 61 Yankees project back from the framers. This includes everyone that put on a uniform in 61 (except batboys), both owners, coaches, announcers and even the trainer. 15 of the sigs are on my 61 yearbook, the Mantle is on a 61 World Series Review magazine, and my favorite is the 62 Maris Post BB card with his 61 stats on the front. Next up will be the 60 Pirates which should be framed up in July, with or without Danny Whelan the Pirates trainer.

Thanks Scott! I've really enjoyed putting together complete collections from famous teams, but the reality is that there are a couple that I've started that will never be finished. I've got several sigs from the 1919 Blacksox and 27 Yankees, but I'll never finish them. I think I'll mat the Blacksox sigs I have around a nice litho that I've had forever and call that one a day as well. The 27 Yankees I think I'll mat a couple of sigs with cards in multiple small frames and fill in an area above my window. That will leave the 34 gashouse gang (need 2 more autographs...not hard, just haven't got them yet), the 69 Cubs (that one is pretty easy) and of course the 60 Pirates.

Mike - That '61 Yankees piece is quite amazing. Why didn't you include the batboys?

Originally I was going to but in the end I'm really not interested in the bat boys on any team...even famous teams. I started asking myself, where do you draw the line? I was even thinking of adding Sal Durante for catching Maris's 61'st, but changed my mind on that one as well.
