Very nice display Patrick -- the trophy looks even better in the wide shots -- thanks for sharing.

Followed them in the 70's and 80's and was finally able to land a powder blue jersey. It's a 1976 gamer of Hal McRae.

Nice pick-up Clint. Just a terrific jersey from half of the best 1-2 punch in the American League at that time!

I'm counting this first pick up as one piece since they are a set

And Mike. You and Mark (PEREZFAN) have raised the figural bar so high, I look at what you guys post and I think... "cool, nice pick-ups" but now that I've revisited them, it really hits me how beautiful & special these pieces are. Congrats!

Type 1s or Type IXs, still love'em all.

My man Jacksons has one of the finest photo collections I know of, but he's a bit shy in showing them. His Matty images are really incredible!

Dan's passion for his Nebraska relics may well be the most focused and impressive niche collection I've ever seen.

And Richard's Americana collection is something that I could look at all day long. Thanks for sharing Rich.
