The question I wish I had asked myself when this sickness started was "How am I going to display the collection?" Nail that question down first. Both 8x10 photos and cards can be displayed in binders. If the plan is to frame and display the photos that gets into the cost of framing and available wall space to display the collection.

Years ago, I purchased an oversized photograph of the baseball hall of fame from a fellow collector. I have hof players sign the piece. Such an item would have been great to have when first starting out.

I do wish I had started the Perez-Steele postcards much sooner.

I do know what I no longer will get signed - baseballs. Some signatures are as fresh as the day the ball was signed, while the signature on some balls have bled or just faded away.

Actually, none of this matters, because once the sickness starts, trust me, there is always another project.
