Damn it. The picture went away. Let's see if I can fix that. Someone here will think this is cool.

It worked! I posted a picture. You've got to be tired of hearing about Merkle's Boner from me, but look what my daughter and I made! Total investment: $40 and three hours. Wood, felt, sandpaper, and metal holders. Foam and old t-shirt for bases. Photo paper for descriptions. 

Every player who was on the field for the play. Except I still need four of them. (One's in the mail.) Original tobacco cards only, with personalized information on each card. Some graded, some not. A full description of the play. The poem about Tinker to Evers to Chance. Yes, the diamond isn't perfect. Yes, the mound is too big. Ask me if I care. 

I'm so happy about this!

Now, to get those other four cards. And the Schulte has to be a T207. Tough to find at a reasonable price. But I'll get there.

Oh, come on. Someone notice me! 

LOL!  When I looked this morning, there was no picture.

Awesome job!

Haha!  You have been noticed.  I had actually never heard of this play before, so not only have you been noticed, you have enlightened someone to sports trivia.  Kudos. 

Finally, a picture!

I like it. Couldn't see the picture earlier. Great way to display those cards.

Great display!! Wish I had the space in my home to show off my collection like this.  Size of the mound didn't bother me but 1st and 3rd base being rotated made me cringe a little.

Very impressed. Card collecting at it's finest. Celebrating a historic moment in baseball history! I aspire to do something similar in the future but I'm not sure what. As a Mets fan, maybe the Buckner play that identifies the real culprit: Bob Stanley. Or Calvin Schiraldi. I need to think about it.

Ahhhh! You're so right. I checked that and meant to get it right, then spaced. That shall be remedied. Thank you!
