Thanks Val. Unfortunately, no Briggs Meats as it is a bit out of my budget. I'd love to own one someday but working on starting a family and just can't justify the expense at this time.

Apropos to this thread, I recall seeing someone post an absolutely incredible Chief Bender collection/display in another thread. Worth a look if you haven't seen it already, even if it's the wrong era for this part of N54.

Wow that Mantle collection is insane! I agree, the 53 Mantle is extremely different to find decently centered, and mostly all the time the bottom left corner shows wear. This may be my favorite Mantle design of all time. Had to pony up for this one, but can't beat the centering and sharp red corner!

Smoking Mantle mantle24, and with sharp corners to boot. Here's the most comprehensive pic I have of my Mantles. As you can see I'm not a stickler for centering.

I've filled out some gaps since, and now have all the basic Topps and Bowmans, with a couple signed and a few others (AS, MVP, etc) as well. I'll have to take a full group shot next time they're all together. That said, it's nothing on the OP, wow!!

Default Clemente and Ruth

Here's a fuzzy shot of my Clementes and some Ruths. Have added some more to both since these were taken as well.

Dan,

Really like and enjoy looking at the way you display your collection. Of course it would look much, much better if there was a Brooks Robinson section, displayed in a predominant spot (Just a suggestion...).

Each time I view your items it makes me want to organize, which is a good thing.

I do have a section for Brooks, although not much in there.

Dan--

Just a couple of thoughts. I noticed two of your fine shadow box displays were of Brooks Robinson and Warren Spahn. I have read that these two are among the most friendly and gregarious autograph guests, leaving fans extremely glad that they had taken the time and spent the money to stand in line and meet these two greats. They truly would make a fan know they were grateful for their remembering and honoring them. It would not surprise me if the occasion spawned some future collecting of these respective player's cards and memorabilia.

Unfortunately, I have also read of some former star athletes who were the antithesis of Brooks and Warren. I shall not go into details or name names, but I fear any collectors of those players were suddenly killed off, and their collections sold off.

But the names and heritage of Brooks and Warren will remain rosy long after their leaving us.

Again, those are nice player displays. It just goes to show you needn't jam-pack an area to express how much you like and appreciate an athlete you love. ---Brian Powell

PS--As most of us have read, the Mighty Babe was great with his legions of fans. I cannot remember where I read it, but I know I read where after the first game of the 1927 World Series in Pittsburgh, outside the player's entrance a group of fans had gathered to get the Babe's autograph. He asked for a stool so he could ablige his many adoring admirers. Folks, Babe sat there and signed away until long after it got dark! What kind of a memory would that leave somebody 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 years later?!?!

Dan,

If I can help you to add any memorabilia type item/s to your Brooksie area please let me know. It "needs" to be BIGGER...

Your player displays are awesome; thanks so much for displaying and showing us your fine collection.

Glare and the case make them hard to see. These are my Kalines, the holes are cards currently at PSA.

Thanks Mark. I was a big fan of Brooks when I was a kid. Unfortunately I just don't have enough room to add to his display. I may replace his autographed ball with "HOF" autograph someday.

No problem. If I can be of any help down the line let me know. Also, as stated before, the displays of all the different players looks amazing! Thanks again for sharing.
