I knew you had a freaky collection, but now see some items i missed before.
Ever thought about posting them (one-by-one) in the Net54 Album -under userCP. I enjoy looking at what the community collects? or providing a link to a site that we can see them indiviually is what i am saying. Everytime i talk to ya, i cant figure what cards your missing bro.

I guess I must have still been on a sugar high--took me 13 seconds to spot the '52 Topps, but a tsch less to spot your Stahl-Meyers!
Chris, now I know what you've been up to all weekend! You know, Lionel Carter favored using scrapbooks to mount his cards. Perhaps try making a chronological run of your Mantle collection mounted in thick black paper scrapbooks using the gummed black art corners. You could use various kinds of mylar and poly sleeves, snugs, semi-hard holders to protect the card or photo, while giving each piece its own space of display and "room to breathe" among the others. You could research each piece, providing its own identification and background story of the set from whence it came, as well as how you acquired it (though this last item may be only of interest to yourself, and your heirs). Just a thought, my friend. This would make them easier to enjoy viewing, still one at a time, with each item having its own page or even two-page spread. After all, you ARE a Mickey Mantle specialist. The scrapbooks would even make for an easy guided tour to your collection, and you could then still select what you wish to show your guest. As for the cards that are TPGed; well, there are three-ring devices that hold cards, but it would obviously have to be thought through carefully. It can be done. Lionel used to remove every other sheet from his scrapbooks to allow enough room for the thickness of the cards and the mounts, so as to prevent the scrapbooks from fanning out. Anyway, just my 50 cents worth of advice. Hope you're able to get every Mantle back without a ......... .  Take care, my friend.

Aaron collection
Chris,
My Aaron collection is nowhere as extensive as your Mick, but I have obtained several items this year so I am getting there. Sorry for the bad pic.

You guys are funny. I should have put the 52 Topps in different places to make it a little more difficult. You have a great eye Brian. I can find the 53 Stahl Meyers but cannot find the 55 anywhere in the picture.
At some point, I would love to do an album of some kind. I keep most of my collection in a fire safe but I think an online album would be a good idea. I have a private Photo Bucket account for insurance purposes but should take the extra step to organize it and label everything. Thank you all for the kind words. I love the history behind each card and the thought of some excited fan pulling it out of the pack (and, in the case of my collection, sometimes tacking it to the wall or sticking it into the bike spokes). I love the Aaron run. Any favorite?

One set I don't see in your Aarons are the Nu-Card Scoops and Hi-lites from 1960 and 1961. The 1961 in particular is very inexpensive and features what Aaron would probably consider the highlight of his career. Quote:
