I'd like to do something similar in my room which is currently in disarray, but it's a work in progress.
On the card front, do you also collect proof items of Hank cards? If so, would love to see.
I really like the publications that Jason posted; the Jet, w/the b&w Aaron is way cool. If you don't collect issues with Hank on the cover I'd recommend doing so. Personally it's fun trying to track down all of the unique publications with your player on the cover. I went a little overboard on this front and started purchasing publications w/articles of my favorite player...I wouldn't suggest being like me (even though most of the articles are a really good read!).

Mark,
The items are in some barrister bookcases that I got after they were pulled out of a very old courthouse. I have six of them in various types of wood. They were in different offices, but were all made to stack up with pins and slots on the tops and bottoms. The glass in them is really hard to photograph through, so I took pictures of each case separately, with the glass fronts open.
I have a few proof cards that I posted above. I don't actively look for them, but I do buy one every now and then if the price is right.
I never could get into magazine covers. A few years ago I bought a lot of Aaron wire photos, but stopped when I realized that they, like magazines, are hard to display. Its bad enough having the cards locked up in secure storage - that was the main reason for scanning the cards.
