Display items to compliment your baseball card collection?

Thanks Todd I appreciate the kind words. My wife doesn’t complain when I buy “my toys” but she draws the line at allowing me to display them. My collection is largely relegated to a couple of walk-in closets. No one in my immediate social circle understands my fascination with this stuff. This is one of the few places I get to share my collection with others who share my illness.

Sounds like you need a new circle.

Joking aside, I didn't have a place to display my stuff either until my wife wanted to build a house. My demands were a room of my own and an extra bay three car garage so I have a place for my toys/collection.

Beautiful stuff guys. I'm looking for empty baseball boxes to compliment some of my stuff if you have any laying around 1950-1970. Thanks all.

So many cool items here -- I'm partial to the Hal Chase glove, Reds posters, the Hank Aaron poster and of course the Oak's card machine. I use a lot of card machines to complement the collection -- here's a sampling --

Fabulous items and spectacular displays.

It can also be fun to look for non-baseball items to complement cards, pins and other BB memorabilia. I just picked up this shoelaces service station to go with a pair of Rabbit Maranville cleats, the large white wooden sign advertising postcards and photos is something I bought at a flea market and put baseball postcards on, the vintage wood lathe makes for a great display for an early hand turned Lajoie bat, and I use a 60s drinking cart to display baseball glasses.

Very nice collection of Baseball Card Vending Machines.

Did you purchase the 3 matching wooden ones as a set or just lucky to find 3 of them?

Fantastic collection SayHey.

Where did you ever come across all those Exhibit machines?
