Great stuff David.... all beautifully displayed!
Quick question for you... I have the 1975 Reds version of the Danbury Mint "Line-up" Display. Same size as your '61 Yankees, I'd assume. Where did you find the acrylic cover for yours? It adds tremendous aesthetic value, and protects it from dust at the same time. Is that something Danbury Mint put out, or did you have it custom made? Thanks!

Mark: It was at least ten years ago that I acquired the '61 Yankees piece and I can't remember any of the particulars as to AH, price etc but I do remember that it arrived in a huge box with an ungodly amount of packing peanuts, and it took me an hour to unpack and clean up. The styrofoam-static electricity thing made for a hell of a mess. In answer to your question the acrylic case was included in the lot. It fits like a glove in the lip around the base. I can't say positively but I'm pretty comfortable guessing that it was offered by Danbury Mint and not fabricated by a previous owner after-market. Do you know if they did any other teams/years? Several years back I did a cursory search of the 'net to see if there were, say, the 1912 New York Giants or the '27 Yankees. The imagination just swoons at the possibility. Danbury did a great job - the likenesses are pretty darn good.

I don't think Danbury made cases for those sets. If you look them up on Worthpoint out of the hundreds of sets listed you only see a very few with cases, and the cases are not uniform.

That’s what I figured... thanks David and Dan.
David, if yours was home-made, then someone really did a bang-up precision job. Also, Danbury did make a ‘27 Yankees as well as a more modern Yankees. I cannot recall the exact year, but it has Jeter, Bernie, O’Neill, Posada, etc. So most likely one of those late ‘90s Teams. I think they also did the 1969 Mets, 1974 Athletics and 1955 Bums. Perhaps even more... And I strongly agree with two things you said ... 1. For a more contemporary piece, these were very well executed. 2. Those static-infused styrofoam peanuts should be outlawed!

Evidently, wrestling chicks dig the long ball.
I don't remember who these ladies are but they're not shy.
BTW, these are the 1927 New York Yankees and 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers Danbury Mint teams. I also have the 1961 Yankees but, no more wrestling foxes. I am more than a little upset that they didn't make any Cardinals teams- like the 1934 Gas House Gang or the '64 or '67 Redbirds. I have an order form with all the available teams listed; somewhere. I'll try to find it and list the teams in the next couple of days. Last edited by Jerry G; 03-04-2019 at 11:10 PM.
