Working with Tanner got me into creating my own custom "Signature Collection" modeled after the 2013 Historic Autographs 1909-13 Originals issue. I cracked an SGC 60 Tinker Portrait and a PSA/DNA Tinker signature to make this jumbo auto card!
I think custom art cards of T206 players is the next phase of collecting, and is tied to the growth of "maker culture." There are a TON of awesome card artists on Instagram right now that people really should be checking out. My latest favorite is Dan Baumfield (@thirdanart). He now does Tik Tok videos of how he makes them, and posts them on IG. Check it out! |
I would agree that art cards may well be the next phase of collecting that will be spotlighted. Heck, they are popular already. Right now in our marketplace there are some 350 of our retired cards that people have listed as wanted. Charles Mandel, Helmar Brewing
