I've seen some nice football items on these threads before so I thought I'd post this pair. One is a 1939 program of events at the meeting of American Football coaches. It's a very complete guide with what are basically the entire speeches of all the coaches that spoke. The other is a great pinback of Amos Alonzo Stagg with St. Louis Button Company back-paper. Part of this meeting was to honor his 50 years in football. I'm guessing this pin was produced for this multi-day convention/meeting. |

My latest Cubs pennant pick-ups. I've not seen this piece before, and assume it is very rare. |

Nice pennants Mike. I knew you were going to be all over that '35 Cubs pennant. It has a really simple design but is quite striking. Its a beauty. Congrats |

Picked this up at a card show in Overland Park, KS, this weekend. This is the "Holy Grail" of Final Four Programs, as it featured North Carolina winning in triple overtime two straight nights, the last against Wilt Chamberlain and the Kansas Jayhawks in 1957. I thought this was an appropriate post for tonight. |

Yesterday, I picked up these two items. One is apparently an end of day Score Card giveaway from Chicago Area dated September 26, 1927 and the other a Washington Senators visor from 1937. Nothing too great but looks good on the shelf. |

Thanks for the compliments MS. For this picture I (I actually means mom) went with the UV protectant anti-reflective glass, which I guess is the "super duper expensive" variety. Its the best at keeping light from the photo and doesn't have that hazy sort of look you get with non-glare. Truth be told I probably would of went with something a little cheaper but mom wasn't thinking economically shopping with my money. When I've taken stuff to the same framer he advised me to go with the middle priced UV protectant glass. I think it would suffice in most cases. |

I always use the regular UV. Honestly tho, I doubt any of us put our items in direct sunlight where they are going to fade significantly in our life time. My family deals in antiques and I have seen hundreds of framed pieces that are 150+ years old that have not faded with time using regular glass. |

I'm too cheap to have my stuff professionally framed. I find frames at garage sales and auctions for really cheap and then just have custom mattes made. All my stuff stays out of direct sunlight and I don't use the fluorescent bulbs in any room I have memorabilia in. |

I do all my own framing.... usually in uniform black frames. It lets each piece speak for itself. I would rather put the extra money into more memorabilia, rather than into the framing, but that's just my thing. |

Just got me to thinking about the not-so-distant future...the incandescent bulb will disappear all to soon. I wonder the best solution with CFLs being the only immediate option. I don't think the LEDs are going to be viable anytime really soon. |

I've always read about how bad taditional fluorescent lighting is, are CFL's equally as bad? Sorry if my ignorance is obvious. |
