Leon,

That Chapman card is killer as well. Thanks for showing.

Hoarding

That looks like the locker from Storage Wars!

I finished half of my basement in my old house. Originally it was intended to be a hang out/party room. It turned into my baseball collection room. I no longer live in this house, and my collection has downsized drastically due to less space. These pics are about 2 years old. One of these days, I'll take new pictures of my current hoard. But here goes.

Every now and again the thought crosses my mind to pick a particular card, and collect a bunch of them to put together a framed display. Done right [a T205 or T206 with multiple backs or an image that crosses many sets], I actually think it could look pretty cool. And then I start to think about the questions people will ask when they see that I have 8, 10, 12 of the same picture of what will appear to be a random dude in a frame hanging on my wall.

And then I veto the idea and move on...


Regards,

Richard.

...my collection of signed T206 Snodgrass batting cards, including one of my all-time favorites because it has a note from dear old Fred on the back...

I think I lack only the Piedmont 150 factory #30 card, to have at least one of the various back possibilities. Only one Hindu in the bunch, a couple of Sovereigns. I have several of his other items: cards, a pin, a silk, and a stamp.

Richard, if you drop the frame wall display idea, then people won't ask about having 8-10-12 of the same card. You would simply be hoarding...

Ha! You're exactly right. I gues that's why I've never actually moved forward with any kind of display

Of course the idea of all these cards just hidden in a box drives me nuts!

Richard.
