Anyone Have Memorabilia Room Pictures to Share?

[mr2686]

Howard, one thing to remember when you do put together your room...there is no right or wrong, just what pleases you. My room is still coming together with several things waiting to go to the framers. I will say though that the first link that David has there is one for Mike H. when he was re-doing his room and it inspired me quite a bit. I had never thought to do green walls before and I kept thinking about it for several months until we starting remodeling and I thought it was a great time to try it...and I'm very happy I did. Here's a couple of pictures of what I have so far.

Mike,
Your baseball room is looking awesome! I also like the like wainscoating at the bottom of the wall. Very smart looking with the green walls...

Mike -- that's a terrific room, the displays are very well done and I really like the color coordination. It's also nice to see the 7-11 cups -- I still have dozens from my childhood and I think they've always been under-appreciated.

What's going to go on the empty lighted wall above the cups?

Thanks for the compliments guys. The lighted area with nothing on the wall used to be a closet that we opened up and put track lighting in so that we can spot light stuff when it goes on the wall. I've actually already put up two large ball holder cases (one on each side on the smaller walls of the closet) and the back wall is reserved for 1927 Yankees (with hopefully a Ruth and Gehrig within the next 2 years) and the 1919 Blacksox. What I found, and I'm sure everyone finds this, is that wall space gets taken up pretty quickly. I have an adjoining bedroom that I use as my home office that I'm going to use for additional wall space as well as the hallway that leads in to them. Even with that additional space, there is no way to display everything I have once it get's framed, so I may just plan out stuff so that things can be swapped out at any given time. I also plan on using shelves, like a lot of people here do, to add some variety as well as being able to display multiple small items.

Final Hartland Displays

What?? No Southlands? Please don't post again until you have completed this set. Very disappointing!

Seriously... that has to be the best Hartland collection in existence. I wasn't even aware of many of those variations. What's with the plain blue/grey looking ones? Are they simply unfinished, prototypes, or something else?

Amazing world-class collection... thanks for posting it

I'm new here. I dabble in a little bit of everything, vintage baseball cards, University of Notre Dame football, game worn hockey jerseys, all sorts of stuff. I find i can just sit back in my lazy boy in the man-room and relax for hours just looking at the walls. The room is covered with things my Dad and I collected over 25 years or so.

I know a lot of the stuff is newer than what you guys on here collect. But, i enjoy it, and each piece has a story behind it.

The football helmet is a game used Notre Dame helmet from the 1980's i suprised my Dad with after trading a game worn hockey jersey for it.

We have a little collection of stuff from the movie "For Love of the Game" and had the Tigers Chapel jersey made up for it.

The old books are Knute Rockne books and old ND yearbooks from his time there.

The boxing gloves are signed by the 3 greatest fighters in hockey history, John Ferguson, Bob Probert and Clark Gillies.

I can tell you where each card in my showcases came from and approx when i bought it. My favorite is the 1954 Ted Williams i traded a 1991 OPC Premier Hockey set for! I should probably get the cards graded and will in time. The Mantle's were the beginning of a 25 year quest to get one each of his Topps/Bowman. I have several more not shown and am down to the 1953 Topps, 1951 Bowman. I'm afraid the 1952 wont be happening within my budget! LOL.

If the stuff is too new, please let me know, i will delete. Just wanted to share.

Finally finished this Pre War project. Now it's on to the "Athletics Room".

5 sets of 5 pics to follow. A few very nice pieces either did not fit, or just weren't right for the layout of the room. Please keep an eye on the Memorabilia B/S/T, as I'll be offering up some very nice stuff when time allows... thanks!

That's the best Hartland display and collection I have ever seen. Now I know who the Black Mickey Mantle went to in the auction a few years ago.
