The REAL Single-Season HR Champ? Show Your Maris Items

[Forever Young]

I have been looking for one of these..many out there is seems but not this nice! Great ballpoint sig. Great pickup!

Interesting that Topps used the image of Maris' 61st to depict the 9th inning blast of the third World Series game...

I agree with Ben, great pick-up Jimmy!

And by the way Ben, you weren't lying when you said you're a Maris fan. I like the whole concept of the 1961 season theme. Now, all you need is a cut from Sal Durante!

I'd say between the two of us Ben, we have this whole Maris '61 thing pretty well covered

Best, Jimmy

Jeff, the Maris matting is top notch. I would have never thought to do something like that...but may have to borrow that idea in the future
Nice job!

A good framer can do wonderful things if you are patient and don't mind paying for the expertise. I actually cut a "home plate" template at home for him to use that was large enough to show all of the Maris autograph which was a cut from a scorecard but yet small enough to cover the adjoining signatures. I was thrilled with the way it turned out. Thanks for the compliments.

One of the '61 Topps Maris cards I have (and as a shameless plug, just listed on the BST...)
