My 20th Jimmie Johnson Autographed NASCAR card went into my 20 card frame today. I never expected this frame would only contain certified AU's of the 7-time champion! It started as just holding my best NASCAR cards. I also have one for MLB cards and another for NFL cards. But as the JJ AU's kept coming in, I kept bumping out other cards. My most recent JJ AU bumped out a Quad-MEM SN45 card of Johnson, Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart (BV of $100). Here is the completed frame:
The stickers are Beckett Values at the time they went into the frame. Some older ones have been updated since I acquired the cards. I find it very fitting the the final card in the frame is the only one that I actually pulled myself!

That's way cool. Congrats. I have a similar case that holds my most prized Doug Wilson cards. Yours looks awesome.

Very cool. As others have mentioned that top row "rainbow" is impressive indeed.

Thank you guys! YES, that top row is the compete rainbow of 2009 Wheels Autographs (base SN25 and all four 1/1 printing plates). The SN25 was the last one that I got to complete that! There is a layout for the rest of the cards. After the rainbow is all of the AU/MEM cards with two 1/1's and then the rest in order by year and product. The rest are all the solo AU cards in order by year and brand name. The 2016 Certified Blue Spectrum AU at the end is the only one I pulled myself. You can see more info about my JJ AU collection in my User List here:

I appreciate you guys looking and I really appreciate the replies!
EDIT: BTW, the 20th addition is the one in the middle of the 3rd row. I had the chance to get the Silver SN59 parallel to go with my Gold SN25 parallel, so I bought it. I actually made the purchase for several sweet multi-color MEM cards.

Second row, second from the right is definitely the nicest looking. It must have come from a truly awesome person!
Glad you got this organized and filled with all autos now.

You would think that is odd until you see the parallel versions - SN59, SN25, SN10, SN5 and SN1. That equals 100 copies.
That Showcase Quad has been my favorite card since the day I got it. I traded a Johnson/Gordon Dual-AU SN25 card to get it. The info is in my User List. What I like most about that Quad card is the fact of TWO Alpine Star logos in it (laundry tag and glove). I've had a couple dozen offers sent my way for that card since I got it. Nothing so far has been close to tempting me from trading a TRUE 1/1 card. The ONLY other version of this card has 3 MEM and is SN25. I have 12 JJ 1/1's, but this is the only one that doesn't have several other versions AND the only one that doesn't have another 1/1 version. It is truly the centerpiece of my NASCAR collection, not just the JJ collection.

Funny Greg! I love the card since it was my first Pit Sign card and it is a great looking card overall. Thank you again for that one, but it still isn't the best of the 20. You see what all is in that frame.
I'm happy that I not only got the cards organized today, but took the frame off the wall to go outside for a couple of minutes to get a good photo of the frame. Lighting in the basement kinda sucks. It doesn't matter how good of a camera you have, sometimes ambient light from the sun is way better than manufactured light. I took at least 8 photos of that frame both inside and outside before I finally picked a good one. Also, the number of JJ cards in my signature is now correct. Thank you for helping me pass the 1600 mark!!!
