They probably had one but I've never seen it anywhere. I know a lot of those pictures are old horner photos, that's how they mixed up Lucky Wright with Eugene Wright and Otto Krueger with Art Kruger, because they just went with pictures of who they thought was the player, they didn't have someone go there and take a pic then make a drawing. Like I said, if I find it I will let you know right away and I'd hope if anyone else found it, or knows of it already, they would do the same

Final draft of the display. Used velcro. Here's why it's in the order it is.

graded cards all at the bottom, same pose straight down the middle, batting poses down the right side, similar backgrounds/color all at the top, and pins just happened to go above the other smaller item.

Nicely done, can keep them safe and dark with a great looking cover and display when desired. May need to build an addition if new items are found.

Well I figured I could always do the inside of the cover although I do want to print out a stat sheet and put that on there. I pretty much made sure I had all the cards I wanted first before I did this. Didn't find the 2nd zeenut yet so that could always go where the pins are and then they could be displayed different. I'm not a big fan of the Tip Top cards even though they're all Pirates so I never bought that and he has a lot of poses repeated through sets

Not to hijack the thread - but this is what I emailed z28jd:

Beautiful display. I made the mistake of showing this to my father-in-law (the box builder). He loves the idea. We were tossing a similar idea a couple years ago. More of a dart board style - 2 doors vs. one. After seeing this, I like the one door better. Endless possibilities with the exterior. Design, mirror, plain etc... Maybe a Net54 design? LOL. Velcro is great, or thin adjustable shelves.
Nice work.

He gave me the go ahead. I'm looking for ideas, designs etc to create similar displays. Any demand? Send PMs
