Looks good! I think I prefer the holders that are see-through over the ones with the black matting, but either way I think it would look even better if they were all the same.

I prefer the company of people who disagree with me for the right reasons over the company of those who agree with me for the wrong reasons.

The see-through ones are my own. The others are graded cards in their holders. So I have to accept that. (I have fixed the bases)

That is very cool. Well done!

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

As a lifelong Cubs fan and always a big fan of Bill Buckner, I applaud your approach. Thank you. (Oops. Didn't hit "quote."Responding the nice man who blames 1986 on Calvin Schiraldi) Edited on: Dec 7, 2016 - 2:59PM

I love it V3! It's like a big jigsaw puzzle, and you have to fill the last few pieces in. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. This is the first I have seen of it. Poor, Poor Merkle.

Also, I'm laughing at the lifelong Cubs fan blaming 1986 on Calvin Schiraldi, a man your team once traded Lee Smith to acquire!! (I don't blame you) Some actually blame McNamara for leaving Buckner out on the field instead of subbing him out on defense. From memory, it seems he later said he wanted Buckner to be on the field for the celebration or he would have brought in the backup (possibly Dave Stapleton??)

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
