Anyone Have Memorabilia Room Pictures to Share?

[wpeters]

I've shown these before, but I always keep changing things. Here are some for the basketball fans.


Early basketball net with closed bottom.


Metal busts from the Basketball HOF.


2 of my all time favorites: Charlie Criss and Connie Hawkins.


More Connie.


Game Used uniforms.


1920s and 1930s.

I went for the modern commercial look when I designed these. I ended up taking wasted, unused space and turned it into a fun way to display some of my collection in an ecclectic way.

Jeez Scott. Now I know you've told me you have one of the largest and most comprehensive Nolan Ryan collection extant. But never, in my wildest dreams, did I think that that was a gross understatement! Absolutely mind boggling. You're a sick puppy my friend, which is why I'm sure that that had a lot to do with us becoming friends... Jimmy

Also, just terrific sports rooms from all who posted! Absolutely First-Rate. Thanks to all for posting and I know that I would love to see more!

And to you Mr wpeters, I certainly don't need to be a Basketball fan to recognize the work of a passionate collector with a sharp eye! Well done. All good things, Jimmy

Here are some photos of my office/baseball room. It's a small room, but the only room I am allowed to have in the house. Hopefully, in the near future I will get my dream basement to put all my items on display. For now some will have to sit in boxes in the closet.

Parker, keep holding out for a new basement but when you get it, don't give up your current room. It's always good to have room for expansion!!
You've got a great collection there.

Thanks Mike. My current home does not have a basement. Its my wife and I starter home that we bought about 3 years ago. Looking to start a family soon and upgrade in the next few years (depending on market). But one requirement is a basement or a nice large room I can use.

wpeters - Nice collection. I know very little about basketball and found it interesting that the net was closed. I did a quick google search and it seems that the baskets/nets were closed for 15 years after the invention of the game. Is this correct? Why did it take them so long to cut a hole in that sucker

Wpeters, that's an astounding collection!!! I particularly love the Connie Hawkins stuff. When I was into the game as a teenager, my dad would always tell me stories about the great man. He always said that he was one of the greatest he had ever seen!
