Item from Dr. Bill McAvoy

Nice display. I think it would definitely be worth taking it to a framer to have them open up the back. At a minimum get a picture and have them repaper it - or go a step further and have them put glass on the back so you can always see the backs of the cards. Neither should cost all that much.

Beautiful piece, can you tell how the items were mounted? I have both been happy when buying framed pieces, but really gotten burned too. Curious as I can't tell from the photo.

Boy, that is old school! Nobody would throw those items together like that today.

I've never opened up the back but was told that their is a pinhead size gel holding the items to the backing if I understood it correctly. I had heard of McAvoy so I trusted its legitimacy.

That's a great idea, to put glass on the back. As long as it could be done with not causing any damage to the cards.
I never dealt with Dr. Mcavoy at any shows, but did do mail order business with him. He was a good source for some harder to get Post Cereal issues. His prices were a little high, but he did have the good stuff.
