I am not sure if we are talking about the same painting. When Gerry completed
the 1952 Topps card painting he called me to give me back my card and asked me
what I thought about the painting. I got a good, close-up look at it in his studio.
I was surprised how large it was. However, I'm sure small prints of it could have
been produced for the purposes you noted.
There is a subtle flaw in this painting of the 52T Mantle that only I know of. If you
have a copy of the ones you are referring to, could you please post a large, clear
scan. And, I will be able to verify if we are talking about Gerry's painting of my
card.
