Even when they see the card they may have heard of it more than see it and assume you have the super famous card they had heard of.

Thanks! that's funny, I going to do that ...not sure why some posters were offended with the start of this thread......the old cards look cool and are better as 'art' than what I have now....some of the ideas I been given here are great..

Is here a reason you are only limiting it to T206? There are tons of other story starters out there...

- Someone mentioned the Ten Million card in Obak.

-A nice t205 Grant (or other set) can get a historical perspective- died in WWI serving the country and helping save the lost battalion....that is a fun lead into the Ricky Schroeder movie on that unit and then somehow you can then start talking Silver Spoons and move it on to child actors etc....

- You can go morbid and display cards of Hack Wilson who was famous for the time and died destitute unclaimed

- Pick up a dummy or a rube- examples of America before we became PC

- Pick up a t207 Marsans, afterall Cuba is in the news

I think Hooker next to the Cross card...That would be a good one.

good ideas...only 12 slots to place..i thought of just doing all t206s..

but now considering a second 12 slot hanging with the ideas suggested and will post up photos.

How about an all-offensive-nickname display with all the "Heinies" and "Japs" and "Chiefs" and "Nigs" -- too bad no "Micks" …

Too bad "Chick" had different meaning then. But then you get the Black Sox story.

Plus Titus for the stache...

If you're displaying stuff for other people's benefit, why not display something that they would like/know about (probably not baseball cards)? If you're displaying it for you, just put up cards you like to look at.

I always thought Shag and Hooker should somehow be in the same display.
