Default Not cards, but very cool

I know this is a "card" thread, but I figured this display is too neat not to post here. I'm guessing most folks on this board won't have a chance to see this.

The collection of longtime sportswriter Shirley Povich is on display in the main press box at Nationals Park in Washington. It contains his typewriter, his trademark hat, a 1924 World Series scorecard/program, a ball signed by Walter Johnson, etc. It also has this impressive display of World Series press pins, spanning 1924 to 1970 (with some years missing). Some years only have one pin, and some have phantom pins, but it's very impressive to see all of them together.
