I'll definitely be at the Chicago National, Graig.
I will make it a point to hang out with you this year and get caught up.

I too will be at the National this year as it is practically in my back yard. I am hoping you make it Graig as I would like the pleasure of meeting my favorite artist!

Oh, and George, I'm sorry - I totally forgot to answer your question!
I've only done a small handful of 19th century players, and a lot of them actually appear with their teams from the early 20th. Of that group, I do have a finished George Van Haltren, a finished Cy Young, a half-finished Ed Delahanty, and a bunch of others drawn out and ready to go, including: Bobby Wallace, Jesse Burkett, Sam Crawford, and Bobby Lowe. They're might be a few others too, but I can't quite think of them at the moment. Here are scans of the two finished guys: ![]() ![]() If we're talkin' about players that were strictly 19th century, I only have one completed, and that's of Radbourn: ![]() But I also have some in-progress ones of Louis Sockalexis, JM Ward, Mike Kelly, Deacon White and Cap Anson. Hopefully I'll be able to finish some of them soon...yikes. Who did you have in mind specifically? Or is that a secret? Graig

Very very nice Graig!! I don't ever recall seeing the Cy Young painting. Ever since picking up a few very difficult woodcuts of James Creighton I've thought about how wonderful it would be to have a painting of him. I believe that there are only 2 actual photos of him with one pose being the entire 1860 Brooklyn Excelsiors team for which the woodcut was created.

Thanks a lot, George!
Creighton would most certainly be an awesome challenge to undertake. I mean, sometimes one can get pretty lucky with those 19th century guys and their studio portraits, but as I'm sure you can imagine, the further back you go, the less and less easy it becomes. But, that's also part of the fun!! ![]() Graig

What an absolutely gorgeous painting - I was out of the running before it started, but I hope you got what you were looking for (I have no feel for prices on this sort of thing): http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=155158
