What I do know is that there very well may be a handful of Yount collectors who have no idea that this exists or any urgency to obtain it. But once they do, and they shop around and see just one example available online and its $50, they may not pause to purchase it. Just because some flipper (who also happens to be a Yount collector) hasn't attempted to do so does not negate this point. You are correct too, in that a lack of sales data on this item means a lack of ability to properly say what it is "worth."

More importantly, does anyone know who the artist signature is from? Were all the images painted by the same artist in the set?

He is a trade artist and not well known to me. He was likely just hired by Topps as he is a portrait artist for the task.

He once asked me to take an unfinished painting of Mantle and DiMaggio to a card show in San Jose where they were appearing. They both signed without an issue. (The good ol' days.) He moved to New Hampshire many years ago and opened an art studio/gallery for his work and where he works with young artists to help them improve their talent. This is a link to his website. If you enjoy seeing some outstanding portraits/landscapes, etc, it's worth a look. (And no, I have no conflicts of interest in sharing this information.) https://pursleyart.com/ This second link will take you to his biography and includes a lot of the sports work he did. https://pursleyart.com/blogs/craig-p...e-as-an-artist Last edited by ocjack; 04-17-2024 at 06:28 PM. |

I recently came across a picture of me having one of Craig Pursley's Mantle/DiMaggio paintings signed. In retrospect, it's a wonder both signed graciously.
