Something really endearing about those cartoon postcards. I'm of the impression that "Bill" is a baby sending messages to his Aunt Minnie via the pen of his cartoonist father. Is that reasonably what's going on? Great baseball content, wish I had some of the B'ham T210s to show. Any chance you'll post some more of these?

Great piece from Monty, Robert. I'm glad I got to see it in person last summer, as well as actually meet the artist. Aside from having some great pieces he was able to show off at the National, he proved to be just a really nice person.
Didn't you end up commissioning a ball form him as well?

Speaking of Monty Sheldon, I believe he did some of the original artwork for
the Helmar Beer card set. The cards are then size and look of T205's Here's an original artwork that's almost 8 x 10" w/ the photo that the art was taken from and the finished product on the Helmar certificate.

I really like what Charles Mandel and the Helmar crew are doing. Best modern cards going in my opinion. I picked up this original watercolor at the last Chicago National. It was painted by Kalaish Raj and is about the same size, a tad smaller, than a T3. Snapped this photo of Monty Sheldon; seeing all his stuff at once was incredible.

I've enjoyed all the items posted!
I collect the comic art from Topps cards - I've been collecting it for some time.
However, I would rather post on this Mad comic art I picked up around a month back - one of them is from copy #207 from 1979:   from the mag:  I liked Mad comic as a kid and I was very excited to have found a couple of items on ebay.

Graig-
I commissioned Monty do this Victor Starffin ball for me in 2002. He is working on a Starffin card for me now. Hope to see you in Baltimore this year at the National.

Birmingham Barons postcards
David:
your observation is right on, if I remember correctly.....I think there's even one that relates to "baby Bill" being born, although I only posted the cards which featured the better Barons-related drawings ( there are others with Barons references, plus some re: the life of "Bill" in general )...I'll dig thru the others and maybe even upload a few more images that contain baseball content.
