Great displays! Those boxes of cards bring back great memories of my childhood. Reminds me that if I had a quarter, I could buy 5 packs of cards. However, there was a penny tax if you spent 25 cents, so I would buy four packs, get a nickel in change, then buy a single pack. My first lesson in taxes at age 7.

Just an amazing collection Dan! I can only imagine the years and miles traveled to amass such a collection. Your collection represents countless memories and friendships. Thank you for sharing!

We need a new rule on this thread. Anytime you post a bookcase photo with books you must also post closeups. Bibliophiles like me need to see the titles!

This will be fun...interesting and diagnostic, too ...I love books with pictures, esp. those of vintage equipment and memorabilia. Here are some of the titles in my very small and modest book case:

Boxed, 1st Edition of the McMillan Baseball Encyclopedia

Joe DiMaggio’s ‘Lucky to be a Yankee’

1st Edition of ‘The Babe Ruth Story’

Signed copy of ‘Now Pitching, Bob Feller’

‘Baseball in the Garden of Eden’ by Thorn…signed and personalized…one of
my very favorite non-vintage items..the 'bible' of early baseball.

‘Baseball Legends of Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery’ by Nash

Copies of the two books I composed and published…the Dugout Treasures
series.

D. Nemec’s, ‘The Beer ad Whiskey League’…signed and personalized

‘Baseball Gloves…1880s -1940s’ by John Graham

'Sports Uniforms and Equipment'...a great book that depicts some simply
outstanding collections.

Nat Geo’s ‘Baseball As America’

‘Treasures of the Baseball Hall of Fame’

And, while not in the bookcase, here is another book that found a home in my hobby room...a 1898 copy of the History of the Boston BBC.

Hope to see some other bookcases out there!!

I truly am impressed with everyone's collections and displays...in most cases, I find myself left speechless. Congrats to all!!

Given our current situations, I did some quarantine cleaning today and tidied up the room that houses my collection...here are some pics.

My best to all of you and your families.

Wow! Orioles70 and Jonathan, very impressive rooms!
Congrats to both of you.

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Orioles 70 and Jonathan those photos made my day. Thanks.

[Huysmans]

Great photos and items as always Jonathan.
What year is the Wright & Ditson catalog?

OMG! This is spectacular. What I wouldn't give for a 25K shopping spree inside that store.

I know this was originally posted over six months ago, but I am catching up on this thread. I think this is my favorite room/display. It is so awesome, so overwhelming, I can't even put my finger on exactly what "it" is, but...well...just incredible. It looks like the kind of place I would want to be. Are any of those boxes empty and simply display, or are they all full of unopened material? Thanks for sharing this.

So I have a question. It is about binders in which folks put 9 pocket sheets with cards. I see them on shelves sitting on end. How does one do this without the pages sagging/drooping down, thus causing damage to some cards?

I am beginning work on my cave and hope to be able to begin to start matching some of the awesome displays I am seeing here. They are quite impressive. Thanks for sharing.

I don’t think it’s anything to worry about.

I know we're probably supposed to be talking baseball, but thought since football is coming soon I'd share my football room.

This room is dedicated to NFL HOF QB's, but I do have some memorabilia of other players (L Taylor, B Sanders, Sayers, etc.).

[mr2686]

Very nice room Dan...and football is very acceptable. LOL.
By the way, as an avid member of not only this site, but of AVSforum, I'm curious as to what type of AV equipment you have in the room.

I have Control 4 Home Automation for my whole house. I have mostly Bose speakers along with a Sony DA5700ES (5+ yrs old), ButtKicker, and a Sony 85" TV. I'll go back to a projector someday. If you look in the front you can see a "screen" that we painted on the wall.

I am also a member there, but not super active recently. In the same basement as my mancave, i have a home theater as well with original movie posters on the wall.
106in screen to show from my Sony projector. Have a pioneer elite receiver, oppo 105 dvd, panamax PS, 6 paradigm in ceiling speakers, and 3 in wall Paradigm speakers(ck pro p1-lcr equivalent) for 2 fronts and center. 2 Martin Logan Dynamos Subs.

Great room Dan. Very elegant and well put together.

Actually I would suggest that storing cards in a binder in 9/12/whatever pages sitting upright on the shelf might pose a problem down the road as gravity puts pressure on the cards at the lowest points causing the sheets and possibly the cards to curve. Not a huge concern but something to be aware of if it's to sit over an extended period of time....

[perezfan]

I understand the concern as well.

I only have 4 binders, but I have always laid them flat. Just seems like the safest way. For those people who have dozens of albums, I guess laying them all flat would present quite a spatial challenge.

[1880nonsports]

are stored sideways so that they hang down from the binder rings....Most are trade cards, silks, and cabinet photos - none in 9 pocket pages :-)

Found a solution that works for me. File storage boxes that allow you to store the binder with the pages hanging. You can label the box and go directly to what you want to view. Holds (2) full 3" binders.
