Glad to hear you're a type collector, ole buddy.
I decided from the beginning that I would have all my type cards framed for
my office walls. I did this, in part, so that I would have to choose cards carefully and so that I would not have to seek a 'limitless' number of cards.
I have around 250 different types from 1900-1939 all beautifully framed
(thankfully, my wife always had them done for me) and have filled all the walls
that I can call 'mine'.
I should also add that during this time, I also began a type collection of type 1
photos from 1900-1949, focusing primarily on world series scenes and limiting myself to one photo per year. I also decided to have one photo each from major
photographers and presses. I have nearly a hundred of these, all framed and
displayed.
I have to say that I love being able to see them all on display.
Thank goodness my office walls are mighty expansive.
Admittedly, I have left things a little open ended with respect to the photos
by using the criterion 'one photo from MAJOR photographers and presses'.
all great fun.
all the best, Jimi
Barry
