Anyone Have Memorabilia Room Pictures to Share?

[ooo-ribay]

Those built in cabinets are awesome!

[mr2686]

I agree. Those built-in's are to die for.

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.

Absoulutely stunning Dan, that's museum quality display in a residential setting.
Wow.

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.

[Scott Garner]

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?

[pedodds]

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!

The W&D Catalog reflected in the images above is from 1888.

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!!

Jon,
Great displays! I never considered that belts would present so well in those tubes but that Excelsior belt looks fantastic alongside the bats.

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Jon that is great stuff. The Boston Baseball Club book is wonderful! I'll try to get some photos of mine,

I guess right now these double as home office photos...in my case they do anyway.

Wow. Some really great rooms.

And some really understanding wives. It's a win-win.

[Huysmans]

Great pics everyone!

John - The last things I expect to see in the home of a California collector are hockey items.
Very cool.

Haha! Fresno's weird...we've been a hockey town since the 40s, everything from semi-pros to NHL exhibitions have come through here

Finally received my 2017 b'day present.....
Asked for a display case, wife purchased and stored in June 2018.
She built it with my kids just this last week for me to use.

Ok...some close ups of the bookcase...but don't think there is that much to see

I have not posted my room in a while and its changed quite a bit from my last pictures

[ksfarmboy]

Bob, you’re supposed to show pictures of your room not pics from a museum. Wow gorgeous items. That Cy Young box and the Walter Johnson tuxedo are my favorites.

[BrockJacob]

All first rate stuff Bob! Looks great.

[orioles70]

Bravo Bob, Bravo!

My favorite is the Reach sign.

[sayhey24]

Bob -- i could look at your stuff all day. I think i vote for the Reach sign too!


Greg

[perezfan]

Bob:

Impossible for me to pick just one (or even a top 10 for that matter...)

That's the first time I've seen the Pirates Bat Fan on display. Really love the way you fanned it out and shadow-boxed it. So classy! That one could be my favorite (for the next 5 minutes, anyway).

Incredible stuff!

[doug.goodman]

Come on guys, the Reach sign, really?

That multi-piece Winchester action shot is beyond amazing.

That's the winner.

[bobfreedman]

Thank you all, I dont get to show off my collection very often (a couple of Net 54er's have stopped by which I was very happy to give a tour too) To hear all of your comments makes me feel very good. Thank you for all your comments:

@Mark S. You must recognize many of your former pieces, thank you for selling me the pieces that I purchased from you and especially thank you for the education and friendship over the years. The fan is one of my favorites as well and I could not believe my luck when an old time collector who I called, sold it to me. I was thrilled at the condition when I received it..

@Greg - the Reach sign is double-sided and is just as gorgeous on the other side

@Doug - I bought the Winchester panel about five years ago at the National and hemmed and hawed at the price for a good day. I made the purchase not knowing where I was going to put it. My wife (who is supportive of my collection but doesn't like it very much) saw it after I put it on the ceiling, she rolled her eyes and walked out of the room shaking her head. The other side is a fishing scene I believe but have never seen it actually .

As always, if anyone is selling anything that would fit in my collection please feel free to contact me anytime.

[Bumpus Jones]

I had the pleasure of viewing Bob's collection in person earlier this year and believe me, the photos don't do it justice. Awesome collection Bob!

[rjackson44]

I keep all my things in safes have 6 of them at my beach house ..very few things on display ...but wow ,,terrific

My Honyack is from Fresno, though she won't admit it...

Great Kings items! I wish I had a souvenir from my first LA Kings hockey game in 1968, I was 7. Like maybe and ear?

Réal" Frenchy" Lemiuex had his ear slashed off & I remember the ref skating over and picking it up with a towel and giving it to the trainer. They stitched it back on between periods and Frenchy was back out there with tape for an ear. I was HOOKED!

Crazy cool stuff, Bob. Do you know if any of the other Tuxedo broadside subjects besides Matty had a box? (like you-know-who!)

[bobfreedman]

The only other box that I am aware of is Hank Gowdy. I had a chance to buy one a few years ago but passed on it when it got to $4k.

There is no Johnson tuxedo box that I am aware of. I have the Tuxedo Johnson sign (and in my opinion the best looking one) of course. But no box that I know of. Thanks

Yes, your WaJo looks awesome. Was that Kent Feddeman's from a Legendary auction about 10 years ago, do you know? Do you have a Gowdy broadside? That would make a complete set, right, to go with your McGraw, Matty, and Walter?

The only Gowdy made was a box and a large sign, they did not make a broadside of him.

I bought the WaJo from SCP years ago.

The sign was in the same style as the broadsides, right, just a different, more vertical, shape? My friend Ted Patterson had one.
