My Wall Of Cards -- t206

[glchen]

Beautiful display.

[iwantitiwinit]

BOOM!!! That is nice.

[kmac32]

I dont collect T206 cards but WOW!!! Very nice! Is that a T206 Wagner in poor/fair condition?

[CW]

Beautiful display -- thanks for sharing! While the Wagner and Plank are the obvious standouts in the first photo, my eyes can't help being drawn to that incredible Walter Johnson portrait just to the left of Hans and Eddie.

I'd imagine it would be enjoyable to just stand in front of those display cases and stare at the cards for awhile.

That's an amazing display.Great collection Powell.

Question is: how much did that Plank and WaJo Portrait cost??

[hangman62]

[buymycards]

Oh yah! That's what we're talking about!

[Matthew H]

I like how you've got the Wags and Plank hiding at the bottom

I also noticed a signed card, awesome!

[HRBAKER]

Hello, Would you mind sharing info on the cases please?...Thanks, Marty

P.S. A rare treat thanks for sharing.......

[freakhappy]

Powell, thanks for sharing...I love looking at a display with so many rarities!

Also, I really like those monstrous cases you put them in...great job!

[tjlives]

That's among the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

[T206Collector]

I see a signed Doyle portrait, Parent and McBride on the bottom row with the Wags and Plank. Seems like that's your "money" row... If I squint, I think I can make out an eight card signed collection, including Marquard portrait, Snodgrass batting, another McBride, Doyle batting, and Livingston, correct?

Amazing collection, and I absolutely LOVE that a signed T206 collection is part of it!

[ethicsprof]

congratulations!
absolutely breathtaking.
thanks for sharing.
all the best,
barry

[Shoeless Moe]

Thanks for having the balls to show that off. Not a fan of collectors who are scared mice who never show what they have.

The Hacker Pschorr(sp) I am drinking in my frosted glass from the freezer right now I raise to you!


PS - How much Windex do you go through? If u ever need a cleaning service....

[Texxxx]

That is a fine collection and well displayed. Thanks for showing us. Please show us some of your other collections. I am sure there are others.

PS: Can I be put in your Will.

[DeanH3]

[frankbmd]

You win. What a great collection

In the words of Darth Vader, "IMPRESSIVE, MOST IMPRESSIVE!"

Powell,
Being from Indiana I'm close to you. So if you ever open a museum, count on me forking out the admission price to get in!

Thanks for showing us!

Anyone know what UV glass like that would cost?

Thanks,
Tim Kindler

[ruth-gehrig]

Is all non glare glass treated with UV protection as well???

[thehoodedcoder]

[g_vezina_c55]

Wow amazing powel thx for sharing these pic...

[Theo_450]

Absolutely amazing! Very well done!

I am curious about what backs you have (not that it matters), just curious, what backs do you have an example of? All or most of them I suspect.

Powell or should I say, Dad...

Do you remember that night in 1972 at the bar of the Holiday Inn in Poughkeepsie... That girl was my mom and you are my father.

I love you so please put me in the will.... today.

No need for a DNA test - really... It's obvious we are related because we both collect baseball cards. You own a T206 Honus... I once saw a picture of one on the internet.

True story. In college I dated a girl at Vassar in Poughkeepsie. Her last name was POWELL.

I kid you not.

True story. I married a Vassar girl. Might've helped that I graduated from Vassar as well. Her name was not Powell.

Aha - I see what you are trying to do, Frank. Your trying to hone in on my new t206 collection that my daddy gave me.

Well, it's not going to work. You are not related to us - right, Powell?

[Powell]

I upgraded the Plank with a psa 6

True story. My gal Powell had a younger brother (with the same name). Had the relationship survived, I could (and thought for awhile I would) be the brother-in-law of a future Wagner owner.

Tony, your mom (??) on the other hand, had one (or two) too many that night in 1972. They only recently were able to reopen the room where she passed out on the floor. How do I know? I read the review of the next guest in that room,

"There was no elevator and no one even offered to help us to our room on the 2nd floor with our bags. It was like they closed the doors in 1972 and reopened yesterday. Acoustic ceiling tiles, mold and basic disrepair. The lack of fire sprinklers in the rooms was alarming. The linens were clean and the bartender was nice."

With clean linens and a nice bartender, it seems more likely that the barkeep is actually your father. The name of the bartender in 1972 was in fact, Dick Davis. Touche.

I fully admit that my marriage to the Powell clan was not consummated, but your claim, Tony, has more holes in it than all the cheese in Switzerland.
Stop your wailing at the wall of Powell. Neither of us has a leg to stand on.

True story. I was married once, and we both like Boog Powell, but none of us went to Vassar.
