Here's a recently finished piece - a 1955 Koufax, 30" x 21", made from cut up baseball cards. The Koufax rookie is a very colorful card, and here are some of the sets that provided the colors:

Yellows: '90 Topps Traded, '89 Donruss and '89 Fleer checklists
Blues: '88 Donruss, '89 Score Rookie and Traded
Red: '89 Topps Traded
Greens: '82 Topps,'91 Bowman
Grays: '89 Bowman, '87 Topps, '91 Conlon
White: '87 and '88 Donruss

Default Kobe
Kobe will always be remembered as one of the best athletes from his sport, and his untimely death was tragic. I am honored to make a personal contribution to the preservation of his legacy: A 20" x 28" version of his rookie card, made from cut up basketball cards! This was by far the most complicated and time consuming piece I've ever built...

Fantastic, Ben...

Incredible detail and realism. How long did this one take to complete?

Oh man, this one was tough. It took about twice as long as most of my others, so... 150+ hours?

Nice but it looks like that Kobe has been trimmed on the left side.

Here's an interesting project that I just finished - a 20" x 28" version of the Topps Project 2020 Mike Trout by Ermsy Erms, made from cut up baseball cards. When I was asked if I could build this piece, I reached out to Ermsy on social media because I did not want to proceed without his approval. He gave me the thumbs up, and this is the final result!
