One criticism is the Mike Moore signature, chosen from his years with the AL West rival Mariners. One season he lost 19 with them. Not only that, but the signature you chose happened to have "Mariners" emblazoned across the sig. Was this meant to be provocative? Just my opinion.

Thanks for the kind words! I could certainly always redo that part if I found a better signature of his (this was the best I could find after looking forever in terms of size), but it may be months/years for that to happen. Remember that it isn't just quality of signature; it is size, too. I believe his is the last one I was able to find. Honestly though, if I found a perfectly sized autograph on his in white, I don't think I'd change it out.

Aside from that though, I think that is part of what adds to the charm of this piece; yeah, many of the others you can't tell they are from other teams - Parker from the Pirates, Eck from the Indians, Gallego the Cardinals, Weiss w/the Rockies, but this piece is all about taking "pieces from different puzzles" to create something truly unique. I love the over all colors of everything.

The journey of finding things that were a few dollars to create quite possibly my favorite piece in my collection has been really rewarding!

Thank you again for the kind words - I hope to create more cool things in the future

Beautiful piece!

Thanks! I missed several guys, so I decided to focus on the players that 1) played in the world series itself and 2) the guys that I remember most as a child. I actually had considered doing a front and back, but decided against it.

I see, I see.

I remember those '88 and '90 A's teams that swept the Sox out of the ALCS!

Friggin Eckersley and that point!

Eck actually lives a town over from me now and I ran into him one day when I was working at a grocery store...talked about the point...told me he actually 'felt' for Dwight Evans! Also got a wicked nice 'graph from him that day.

That is mega cool! I think I read somewhere that he was pointing and laughing at the batters. I always thought he was pointing to the catcher as a victory sign like "yeah, we got him!" Apparently it was more of a "You suck, diddly uck, Flanders!"

I wanted to add to this thread with a picture of it in its new card holder - love it!
