Cut junk era commons = most iconic cards ever

Really Tim, 40 years from now, when you look back on life, are you going to wish you spent more time with your family, or with a bunch of guys who collect little pieces of cardboard? Priorities man.

Thank you, Ruben! Will do. Never had my kid(s) 650 miles from me for longer than a week. The fall should be very interesting around here!

Not a classic, but I had a ton of fun with this commission.....1987 Topps Mookie Wilson. For 99% of the piece, I used 1987 Topps commons.

woulda been wild to make it out of just mookies, I notice he makes at least one appearance on his collar.

Started rolling on this one, and just couldn't stop. I have a feeling I will complete many more renditions from the 1964 Topps Giants set before I am done. This Clemente measures 20" x 28", and is available:

Tim do you have any pieces for sale or is just about everything you do commission work now? I can't imagine you having any in inventory for long?

Is is okay to ask what the general cost of one of these pieces would be? Say a "somewhere between $50 and $50 million", but maybe narrowed down a bit more? ha ha

I went through this thread for the 3rd time today, page 1 to the end. I'm still amazed at what I see!

Cool work all around. This Mookie piece made me think...have you ever considered making a piece strictly from the exact card featured? For example, this 1987 Topps Mookie Wilson piece would have to be only made out of 1987 Topps Mookie Wilson cards.

That'd be a lot of mookies

Don't think he could get the right colors or shading that way.
