Anyone Have Memorabilia Room Pictures to Share?

Terrific Greg!!! I don't know what you are talking abou...you have only covered 50% of the wall...Ha Ha. We would love to see the other walls as well

Fantastic Greg... really spectaacular! A couple of questions...

The Indians Pennant (mid height, and over towards the right): Never seen that one before. Can you post a closer shot of it?

Also... is that an Athletics pennant (far right at top?) It is cut off, but I clearly see an Elephant. Not sure what else it could be, and it appears to be a rare one! Please post that one too (if not too much trouble).

Thanks... amazing collection, and perhaps the best wall of pennants extant!

ps. Yes- the WS Pennant with the Quaker and the Giant shaking hands is mine too. Maybe I should move that one to the A's room and fill that hole in the other room. Think I will, now that you've mentioned it

I need to take some better photos of the memorabilia but in the meantime how about a hallway? We had the stained glass commissioned after someone showed us a similar design of stained glass from Johnny Kling's hotel in KC

Boy Max. That window is simply fantastic! It really compliments your framed pieces as well. And from the looks of your hall, you must have a beautiful home too.

Guys............Ok, I've been holding out on listing some photos of my 'stuff', but have really enjoyed seeing everyone's rooms. Having two youngsters at home that are 'on the move', I had to kid proof a lot of my stuff on display and lock the glass showcases in a basement bedroom for now. Kids with old bats (or anything swingable) and glass scare me to death!! I'm also into collecting some Americana/advertising signs which are pretty much kid proof. So, here's a few photos.....sorry, I left out the ones with the kids' toys.

Outstanding displays and collection Matt!!! The advertising is a perfect accompaniment to your memorabilia. Those are some amazing cases as well. Thank you for sharing.

Matt that is awesome stuff. If you ever need a security guard to make sure your collection is safe i'm available!

Great display room Matt. Love the advertising signs as a compliment to your sports memorabilia. I noticed you have a Hires Root Beer porcelin advertising sign. My brother has owned for the same sign for about thirty years. I have never found this version before on my internet searches. It is the "Hires to You" ad sign. What can you tell me about it. Is it rare? Possible value? My brother isn't a collector and was given it as a birthday present from my aunt back in the early eighties. We believe it to be from the late 1940's but aren't collectors and are only basing that on the design and number code at the bottom.

Max, Really nice stained glass window...looks great! Say..that blue Spalding Bats sign at upper right....Can you post a photo of that? Is that a Canadian sign?...I don't think I've ever seen it before

[baseballart]

Thanks Carlton. You have a keen eye; it is indeed a Canadian sign (Hartnett, if i recall correctly) Unfortunately, a previous owner neatly trimmed the edges. I have seen one other, in which the AH advised their copy was the only one extant.

As for a better image, it will take a bit. The piece is on the second floor and at present, I am landlocked on the first floor in post-surgery from a torn quadricep, courtesy of a car door into my bike last week.
