Let's see 'em laid-out.
 

I've been pretty busy recently, and haven't had time to look at, and appreciate, my cards...tonight i took some out of my safe and really enjoyed them. i took a few photos...let's see some more groups of cards all laid-out.

Do packs of cards count?
There is one pre war pack in there, right in the middle

---by the title of your thread I expected to see pictures & wirephotos of old ballplayers lying in state. Glad that wasn't the case as your display (& others) is more fun!

Nice Demmitt Scott :eek:

WOW!!!! I'm drooling over here, guys...this thread has started off with a bang! I love everyone's layout so far...raw and graded.

Love the back run and packs...stellar!

I second Mike's comment. Great cards guys! Keep showing them off :)

Anthony,
Incredible pack display!!! :eek:

Scott, I really like the Cobb green port. What's on the back?

From back in November when I was alphabetizing my Old Judge cards, trying to figure out what doubles I had. (Sorry about the glare, I have a better pic but for some reason the photo won't upload on here)

Wow!

great stuff, guys...it's like a smorgasboard!

Sean - definitely best pic, thats great.

Matty - Beautiful displays, freakin wow!

Here my 178/180:

Steve,

My wife always yells at me when I spill my Cracker Jacks on the floor! Yours must be much more understanding.

Hey Sean nice pic of your Kid with T206 ! My son is only 15 month now but i hope he will have the same love than i have for this little piece of cardboard :)

My latest project...putting a reds set together. Attachment 89978

Nice box in the background, Hank! ;)

The prewar HOF Collection I've been working on. Tough to get everything in the pic.

Forget the cards that's a nice looking box!

T210 Richmond Colts Team Set

Thanks guys. Yeah my son seems to have a genuine interest. I'm working on a cubs team set for him :)

Deleted

I have only been at this for a few months, so not too much to show...however...here are the T206 cards I have picked up thus far.

http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/...ps31ff7cdb.jpg

It's a start, right?

Edited to add: The cards in the posts above are absolutely jaw-dropping. Thanks for the eye candy!

Best Regards,

Eric

Wow this is like trying to find a pre-war Waldo! :D

Whoa! Nice hoard o' Hindu!

end thread :)

wow steve! thats killer! I am going to do that exact same thing with my team set when i m done! Do you do that by just laying the cards down and pressing the glass against them?

Well, they ain't Hindus, but they're mine

Yes. The cards are free floating on a bed of cotton covered by the black material. Note too that this is one large plexiglass screwdown, not glass, though I suspect that glass may work as well.

Nice thing about this manner of display is that there is no damage to the cards since they are not affixed by glue or otherwise.

Jim inspired me. SC 649 OP subset.

http://i.imgur.com/GLffLQI.jpg

Old Mill southern leaguers subset.

Nicely done, guys. There's no faking it when you lay 'em out and snap a photo.

Awesome stuff guys! Keep 'em coming!

Johnny- we NEED to see your scraps up close, get in there tighter and click away! too much glare :(

Hey nice carpet.

The cards, eh.:D

JimB

JimB,

Love those Allen & Ginters. If I ever start in the 19th century it will be with those. Does that represent the entire set?

Also I don't recall having seen any Ty Cobb backs in any "show your cards" threads. Maybe I just forgot............

Nice and thanks for sharing.

Gets my vote for most artistic:

Nice Jim !!

Jim- awesome line-up of cards...that bottom row is insane (Cobb, Brown Lenox, BL 460, etc)...thanks for showing.

+1 :eek:

1911 Obaks
 

1911 Obaks

These ten represent all the baseball players in the set. There are 50 total cards, but personally I am only interested in the baseball. The N29 set has six baseball cards including Buck Ewing.

Thanks everyone.
JimB

Those Hindu and EPDG collections are awesome!
JimB

JimB, incredible collection. More importantly, the way you handle yourself on the board does not go unnoticed.

Thanks for sharing.

Great thread..... You guys are making me want more cards....


Here are a few of mine...

Hope you're well.

Thanks to Barry Sloate, who got me started on this set back in 1985 by selling me the 42 non-BB cards (when these cards were very affordable).
