To say that's an impressive display would be an understatement. It must have been a lot of fun to put together. What can you tell us about the Ruth and Gehrig balls? They look like nice examples.

Thanks and I'm glad you like the room.

Both balls were purchased at the CSA show in VA this past March. Both the Ruth and Gehrig balls come with full letters from JSA.

thanks to everyone who took the time to post on here and I'm glad even the Yankee fans enjoyed it. I have more items I would like to add. My G/U bat collection is not even close to being finished as I need a hammered Cano, Mattingly, Granderson, Tex, Jeter and so on.

As far as my other rooms go. I have a room totally dedicated to the Yankees as u have seen, a Cooperstown/Pittsburgh Pirates room, and a basement that is mainly Indianapolis Colts but has walls dedicated to Josh Hamilton and Jesus Montero. Its always great to put the work in and show the finished product to other collectors. I'm glad everyone liked it.

As a Yankee fan, that room is freaking awesome. As a baseball fan that room is freaking awesome. Love the vintage cards as well. Great mix of items. Very classy. I could see myself sitting in that room day after day just staring at things...
