the biggest pain if i remember correctly was getting a Maravich auto since he's passed away.

A couple of them, like Jordan, Magic, Bird, Pippen etc. we were flexible with being there's a good amount of autos so we focused on the harder guys first and just tried to get those. it was a fun/frustrating thing that took about 2-3 years to build but once we did it and got it framed it's been my dad's go to showpiece in the house. glad everyone likes it. i'll try to get individual pictures of some of the bigger names.

bballfrk44, nice collection. Did you use a special UV protected glass? I worry the autos will fade over time.

it wasn't done with UV glass, actually looking into that for a christmas present for him. auto's have held up pretty well but a couple you can see some fading. i really want to preserve it, probably won't ever sell it but definitely want to keep the auto's visible especially after all the hard work we put into it.
