New collection pictures thread!

BHF, always as impressed with your collection as I am 20fry's.

 

Question, I have a couple of Sports Illustrated's I want to frame. Anyone know where to find magazine frames? Regular 8x10 frames I don't think will work since SI's measure 8x10 1/2.

Are they signed si's? I mean if they are really nice items I'd just get them to a professional framer...

 

you can get a job like this done for around $70: (I'd assume it is the same size)

but if it is just a plain old si magazine, I don't think you would want to spend that much to frame it...I'd assume you could go to Michael's and get some matting and like an 11x14 deeper frame and do it that way....

 

hope that helps.

And Zachlaka! You bought my Chavez name plate!!!! Noooooooo!!!! I wanted that. I was there at the start of the last home stand and literally held it in my hands before deciding against it. Long story short, a few days later I was back at MP & I decided to go back and get the Chavez nameplate and a Chavez jersey (kind of as a gift / joke for my son - long story) but I was to late. At least I know it wound up in good hands!

I never saw the locker nameplates at the fan zone! Though I did score a Branyan nameplate at the Brewers' rummage sale last December, which made me happy enough.

I thought for sure that I would be able to find a joe winklesas on that rack...but it was loaded with chris spurling instead...

I noticed that too. Was hoping for a Ohka jersey but no dice

Thanks BHF. They are not signed, just cool SI's with Brewers on them that I want to display. I will maybe check out Michaels.

I saw on WTMJ-4 this evening a story about a fan who had finally finished his collection of autographed '82 Brewers baseballs, getting the elusive Pete Vuckovich. Someone here?

I did it a couple years ago. It wasn't me.

 

I had thought Harry Dalton had passed away quite a while ago. Then I heard, months back that he just passed on. I wish I would have more on the "ball", and gotten his.

Brian - do you have a single signed Harvey ball? I'd love to see a picture...his stuff is pretty hard to find.

I tried taking the best pics I could. The flash blurred it up too much.

[billyhallfan]

that is sweet! looks like the ball is still in really good shape too....

I paid $180-$200 for the Vuckovich on a side panel. Then Legends does their signing, and I picked up one on the sweet spot for like $40. Legends just kills the value of an autograph when they have players in.
