Big thanks to Matty C (DMHOF23)for the display case. I've been slowly filling it and am really proud of the final product. I'll probably need another real soon though.

The image quality isn't the best but it's the best I was able to do on the phone for now. Might have to play with lighting.

It's really awesome to display some of these lower grade finds like this. In the case they just present so nicely considering the relatively affordable prices on everything.

I've focused on Mantle and MJ so far with a few others sprinkled in. The Spock up in the corner is my girl's, it holds a spot in good company since she is the second most vocal supporter of the big pick ups after Matt. Was an in person auto, RIP Spock!

    Nice looking cards and display. The Mantles have great centering. image

    It's difficult to pick a favorite from this group.


    Thanks,

    Awesome...proof you can collect quality vintage without spending tens of thousands. I like using picture frames from Michaels with double sided tape.

    Very nice displays guys. Centered, I think you need to give THE MICK his own display case!!!!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    The 53 Topps will always be the Mantle for me. Has a most patriotic feel with the red,white,blue color.

    Thanks for sharing, guys. I'm proud of you for displaying your daughter's Mr. Spock. Right on.

    I agree with the bro who advised you to have separate display cases for Mr. Mantle and Mr. Jordan. It provides you with a subtle reason to, in the immortal words of Rocky the gangster to Daffy Duck in Golden Yeggs, "Fill 'em up."

    Again, I really enjoy admiring your displays, gents. ---Indiana Jones (Brian Powell)
