Wow Max that's wild. Ricky, Darn if I didn't record the dimensions since it was in our own booth...However, YOu can get a feel for the size in a couple of photos I took of our booth there at the 06' National, see this link below and photo. I'd guess it was about 30" wide. Go to the bottom of the page in the link and you'll see mine and John Buonaguidi's booth..you can see the framed photo in a couple of the shots I took

This just arrived this morning; 1919 Reds fold-out photographic display. It stretched my collecting budget to the limit but I was happy with the price. Seems like a under-valued piece in my opinion.

Not totally a new pickup, but newly back from the frame shop for me - a 1912 Boston Globe full page, with large team pictures of the two teams battling for the World Series - Red Sox vs. Giants.

Great display, Scott. I'm envious.

Scott-That is a terrific newspaper page! I am gathering you're a Red Sox fan; I'm a Giants man myself but no matter. That was one World Series more than any other I'd like to time-travel back to. Joe Wood just about won it for you guys single-handed.

Thanks for the comments, Rawn and David! I am a huge Red Sox fan, especially of the pre-war dynasty they had in the 1910's.
I had picked up a big collection of Boston Globe newspapers spanning from 1910 - 1920 about 20 years ago, and it covers all major events of the time: presidential news, Titanic sinking, and sports. I had one page from the Red Sox World Series appearances from 1912, 1915 and 1916 framed in this same manner. Unfortunately, I do not have any 1918 papers (or 1903 for that matter). I'd love to find 1903 and 1918 examples and have them framed similarly, to give me a complete set of the vintage Series wins! Here is the 1916 paper which I had done in the same manner....  And also since I'm showing off (even though it's non-sports), here is the Boston Globe front page from the day the Titanic sank:
