This isn't anything related to the books but more along the idea that 
you are presenting. In New York and the ESPN zone you see a TON of 
baseball cards (from different eras) all attached to the wall... as 
you move further away, the colors and cards used masterfully become a 
VERY clear picture of Babe Ruth. Problem is, this would be a tough 
thing to get across as a mystery plot in literature. Visual mediums 
maybe... but as for reading/writing this type of effect... Tough!
