That looks like the locker from Storage Wars!

I finished half of my basement in my old house. Originally it was intended to be a hang out/party room. It turned into my baseball collection room. I no longer live in this house, and my collection has downsized drastically due to less space. These pics are about 2 years old. One of these days, I'll take new pictures of my current hoard. But here goes.

Every now and again the thought crosses my mind to pick a particular card, and collect a bunch of them to put together a framed display. Done right [a T205 or T206 with multiple backs or an image that crosses many sets], I actually think it could look pretty cool. And then I start to think about the questions people will ask when they see that I have 8, 10, 12 of the same picture of what will appear to be a random dude in a frame hanging on my wall.

And then I veto the idea and move on...


Regards,

Richard.

...my collection of signed T206 Snodgrass batting cards, including one of my all-time favorites because it has a note from dear old Fred on the back...

Richard, if you drop the frame wall display idea, then people won't ask about having 8-10-12 of the same card. You would simply be hoarding...

Whoa Leon, that is a super cool Sisler.

My Sisler hang-up is a bit focused. I only collect the #166 (M101-5 and D328).

This is the only card that I have doubles of. Looking to add an autographed version of this card as well.

Matt,

I'm not very familiar with the 1948 Leaf set. Why are the colors so different from one to the next? The hats look so much different, as does most of the red color on both cards. The jersey's are different too. It appears as though the seams down the side, and on the shoulder are visible on the PSA 7, but not on the PSA 8. Are there variations within the set that just aren't noted on the PSA flip?

Thanks,
Tom

[FrankWakefield]

The 7 is out of register. Look at the black boxes for the name; the 8 is ever so slightly off to the left (as it lines up with the blue background), and the 7 is off to the right. Still, nice cards. And one great, gentleman ballplayer.

[tedzan]

Here are some more of these color variations. I have many more of them. LEAF Gum was notorious for these color errors.







NOTE......They are not a 1948 issue. The Grading Co's have miss-labeled them.

Yes, 1949.

[Exhibitman]

Thanks for posting those pics, Tom. I thought I had a habit until I saw that...

I collect every example that I can find of certain Exhibit cards but if I said which I'd have to kill every reader, which could take years and cost millions of dollars to achieve...
