Re: Let's see some display room pics
At least Jim didn't show any Johnny Damon photographs in his room <G>.
Just starting out collecting early Red Sox (pre-1920), I haven't much to show as mostly everything is in one display case. The only other stuff worth mentioning is a base from Schilling's game 2 at Fenway and a 1904 composite. As the original post asked for pics of display rooms, thought I would show my other room. Although there's only a couple of Sox things in here, it's all about beer in Rhode Island. Thought you might like to see it even if it's not entirely sports related.

Greg. I think most of us are antiquers at heart. I appreciate anything old and love to learn about other collectibles and collections. It looks like you have a good start to your baseball collection as well. Thanks for posting.

Re: Let's see some display room pics
My basement in Atlanta has an Orioles vibe, yet there's always room for a nod to good ol' Gansett. My favorite items came from Cal himself...the warm-up jacket and autographed bat as well as the picture of him shaking his dad's hand rounding third. The inscription reads, "A good baseball moment, but a great father-son moment!"

Re: Let's see some display room pics
Thanks Mike H. The Beer collection started, scarey to say, when I was 15....almost thirty years ago. Like that great Cal Ripken autographed photo also posted, it's been a father and son adventure for all of those years and that room is full of treasured memories. Most, if not all, of what you are looking at is from 1895-1939 or so. If you look close, on the back wall there's a late 1940s or early 50s Red Sox Licence plate that was put out by the Narragansett Brewing Company. We were also very fortunate to pick up from a friend a great 1916 celluloid schedule for the Sox, Braves and Providence Greys put out by Narragansett and a few other things put out by the brewery in the 50s when Curt Gowdey was doing the announcing for the Sox.
Speaking of Gansett.......where on earth did an Orioles collector from Atlanta find a Gansett sign??? Way cool (and impeccable taste mind you <G>). That sign dates from the mid fifties. You need to get yourself a National Bohemian sign from Baltimore!!! Very nice room!! Spent a weekend last year at Camden Yards, can't wait to go back.
Love seeing of these pics. I hope others continue to post. It's one thing to collect and appreciate nice items, when you see a collection put together, it gives it more of a human element......much more important than just a page on ebay!!
