Anyone Have Memorabilia Room Pictures to Share?

"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"

Not a huge concern but something to be aware of if it's to sit over an extended period of time....

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.

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 :-)

To avoid the sagging of binder pages, I think the key is preventing the binder front and back covers from splaying out by keeping them close to the front and back pages. If a binder is pretty much full, you can do this by sliding it upright between large books or other binders that are similarly full. If a binder isn't full, and the rigid front and back covers aren't close to parallel, then it's tougher to accomplish. Another way to address this problem is to purchase slip covers that binders slide into.

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.

I started to finally do the mancave during the Pandemic. My focus is mainly baseball hall of famers, but A couple of others genres sneaked in also. Nearly all baseballs you see are signed IP by Hall of Famers, Current and Past Stars and future HOFers. My son put together a YouTube as well with me. (Please cut us some slack, I never did one before and he is 13). If you like, feel free to subscribe as I will go into more in depths of the collection and baseball autograph hobby. My walls give just a taste of the collection.

Amazing collection Frank. Did you dictate the layout for the framed pieces? And your son did a great job. Maybe he has a future in the film industry.

Thanks, I had my framing company come and hang everything. I didn't want to everything to look to busy.

It's funny that some rooms resemble museums (those of Brendan, Bob, Tony, Frank, etc.) and others (like mine) look more like flea markets.

MSU fan, I see. My fellow teacher, band teacher, was in the marching band...I think. He's a big Spartan fan. I'll forward this on to him.

Beautiful collection.

Great to see that Ricky Green signed jersey. He scored the 5 millionth point in NBA history while with the Jazz. Always a good in person signer when he was playing
