Beautiful display. Nicely done. Enjoyed seeing it.

Walter Johnson at the peak of his powers?... I guess... if you consider averaging 31 wins and 9 shutouts while pitching to an ERA of about 1.45 and throwing more innings than any other pitcher in baseball to be good.

Fantastic display! When you talked about it in the other thread, I had no idea they all were the same color. Great, great job!

Thanks. And this is a REALLY bad photo, I had too much light overhead and it washed the colors out terribly, it's so much prettier than it looks here. I'll try to get a better one up sometime, but I'm a real technophobe because I just suck at it. I've always been taken at how my blankets fit together so perfectly to make this display, and wonder if anyone had this in mind when they made them. I'd be curious to find out if the other teams worked so well this way, with eight position players in their place and the star pitcher on the mound, or even if there were exactly nine blankets per team.

Great display of your blankets---I might as well show you mine with Ty Cobb, Wallace,Coveleski and others I couldnt get a close up but u get the idea. thanks, Don

Those are both great displays.

What product are you using to mount the blankets to the background? I recently purchased an old pennant I want to mount in a similar fashion but want to make sure not to damage it in any way. Appreciate any insight.

My framer said he used archival tape to mount the blankets to the backing, that's all I know about it.
