Finally getting some enjoyment from my cards.

MuckyMutt

I finally have found some time to "play" with my cards. I got tired of them being stored in boxes or piled next to my desk. I bargained with the wife for a little wall space and am now working on preparing some displays. Here is my first:



I'm also working on a Warren Spahn/ Eddie Matthews Milwaukee Braves display. Also have plans for a Nolan Ryan, a Mickey Mantle, a Robin Yount/Paul Molitor, and one for the Negro Leagues. I'm hoping by October I have most of it done.

Thanks TB. How could I not show some pics. This is the only place I get to share in my love of baseball cards. The great members of this board are the only ones who can fully understand and appreciate the enjoyment I get from these pieces of history.

I wanted to use thumb tacks...

Just kept them in penny sleeves and used glue dots. Had to trim the sleeves for the smaller cards. I don't really like the reflection from the sleeves, but I can live with it.

I just finished the Milwaukee Braves display with Matthews & Spahn (my 2 favorite players - before Ryan came along).

MM,

Inspirational displays! Thanks for sharing. This would be a great way to display a lot of my Kirby kards that don't fit into binders...

Mucky, Those look great! I like the way you incorporated the newer issues with some great vintage cards.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

It's been nice today to just stop and ponder the cards when I walk by them. It's also nice to have them out of the closet.

It sounds cheesy, but the most fun I ever have with my cards is with my 2 year old son. I pull out a handful of 89 Pro Set or 91 Ultra or something and he looks at the cards and identifies them as 'football', or 'baseball', or 'hockey'. I have them in a shoebox with his toys in the living room, and that box-- which by now contains no card that would grade above a 3- is far and away the most 'fun' box of cards I have in the house.

Edit to say: MM, I think your display is very cool looking. Do what I did-- commandeer a corner of the basement that's 'yours', and hang as many card displays, Bruce Lee posters and dog's playing poker pictures as the wall will allow!
