Cut junk era commons = most iconic cards ever

[oldjudge]

A shameless plug, since as I was running out of wall space, I put my King Kelly N162 in LOTG. It's an incredible piece and I hope the next owner will enjoy it as much as I have.

I'll second Jay's shameless plug. If you've never seen one of these in person, they are truly a sight to behold. From a distance, they appear almost as if they're an illustration of the card. As you get closer, the individual pieces take shape and it looks like a mosaic. When you're right on top of it, you see all the different faces and names and stats. It's almost a metaphor for the hobby, and how the iconic cards stand out above over a hundred years of commons, and how the game's truly great players stand out above the rest. I'm just crazy about this piece.

Jay, I really appreciate the opportunity you gave me to create that Kelly a few years back. I'm honored it was on your wall for as long as it was, and I look forward to learning it's new destination! I'll be plugging it on my social media for you.

Is this the only example from Tim that has been put to public auction?

Some more baseball on the horizon, but it feels good to get this one finished and on the wall! 1958 Topps Jim Brown RC...cut football cards.

[Jay Wolt]

[ullmandds]

With such a relatively small face, getting it so close is unbelievable.

Centering is wrong...
