Greatest Collection Ever
Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I was going through videos online today and ran into this.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/gary-cy...eball-fan.html and http://sports.yahoo.com/news/a-day-o...nlwYWdl;_ylv=3 Long story short, it is some information about Gary Cypres, a sports collector who owns his own private museum which includes his entire collection. Some of the stuff this guy has is insane. He has a website, but not much is on there. http://www.sportsmuseumla.com/ Tell you what, if I ever go to LA, here is one place I am going. |

From what I see its not, you have to call to get an "appointment" and probably make a charitable donation to get entry, so people like you and me have little shot of getting in.

I attended just before it closed its doors to the public. I can honestly say its worth any price or donation you'd have to pay, to get in. You won't regret it...
Room after room of Jaw-dropping stuff! |

Barry Halper still had a pretty awesome collection too
.
. . . regardless of the various fraudulent pieces. As a whole, it was pretty stunning. And to think you could have had the whole collection for $30-$50 million. Didn't it realize over $200+ million at auction? Means, opportunity, time, and a sympathetic wife = awesome collection |

The Old Judge display was made in the 1920s, as part of some anniversary. It's still rare and valuable. I believe Barry Halper had one.

I was thinking of picking up the book on Halper's collection. Anyone have it that can attest to it being worth it?
