There will be a Monarch Typewriter Bender postcard in BST's first auction if you can wait a couple of months.

Thanks for the tip Jeff, I will keep an eye out for it as I am going to frame the collection in such a manner that I can swap out cards, postcards and photos as my collection changes. The diamond pattern proved to be difficult to try and mat and frame, so I found an old craftsman window (from the deadball era) that proved to be the ideal size for my project. The items will ultimately be behind the glass with a green suede mat similar to the one shown with T206's shown earlier in this thread.

Another vote for the diamond layout with no photos. Also, whatever you do, don't move the T3 or the pennant, those are in exactly the right places.

Very nice collection. 2 Questions: 1) You really acquired all of these in 1 year?!, 2) Can you please post a larger scan of the autograph with the drawing - it sounds neat and I would like to have a gander.

Did the e95 miss the cut? That's such an iconic card.

Luke, the E95 was the last one out and I'm still trying to figure which one goes if it comes back in, with the new format I am having to make some tough choices.

EJW, I liked Bender's backstory, he was a relatively affordable HOFer, his cards present well and he was in a majority of the sets from the Deadball Era; thus the perfect muse for a deadball type collection.
