That's funny you said that because after my last post, I had the same thought. Those issues are hard to beat. I mean I like good photography, but the sketches grow on me as the years go by. I have thought about doing those years with the Cards and someone else like Cleveland.

Great minds think alike

It was a lot of fun getting the cards. I went in saying to myself I'm only going to get centered EXs and I did a pretty good job sticking to that. I'll do the same for the '50s and '52s. I think the wear over the years really makes it look like vintage art. If it was all NM it would look fake, at least it would to me.

You wouldn't happen to know why some of the '49s have names on them and others don't, do you?

I hear ya. I am a mid-grade collector all the way. These are affordable little projects with a definite end, which is good for someone like me.

Do have a relatively light free room to display these?

Ya, the room I have it in faces west and it's buttressed by a house, blocking the sun set. There's light in the room, but no direct sun light.

I have had comics framed in the same room for awhile now and there's been no fading, so I think I'm good.

Ya, I'm on a budget myself, so this was the perfect kind of project for my budget.

My room faces South. Next to no natural light. The lights in there aren't on much. To be safe, might get uv glass and the uv light bulbs. ...I know that isn't proper terminology but you get my drift.

Ryan, you've definitely got me thinking. At least this project won't get me the evil eye from the little lady. Might even pursue some pins like you did
