Are signed Perez Steele postcards the coolest thing ever?

I actually look at this as a 'Pro' for the same reason that I like signed Sports Illustrated magazines. Unlike glossy photos or baseballs (or junk wax cards), they are not produced in unlimited numbers; their production is tied to a specific time. And I would venture that P/S postcards have one of the highest percentages of authentic signatures of any available medium excluding legal documents.

I realize that Dick Perez is not the same painter as Graig or others, but that is not his style. I just appreciate his works for what they are.

Just my two cents.

Never really cared for the watercolor style vs. the richer/deeper oil-based paints that Graig uses. I do like Dick Perez' earlier work, but his more recent pieces look rather cheap and washed out.

With that said, I do have two original Perez Perezes.

The latter is the original painting used to make his Perez-Steele Postcard.

The originals are really cool and present well. I have his original Billy Herman "Greatest Moments", sorry I don't have a photo handy.

I believe there is going to be a documentary film on Dick Perez released late this year. It should be an interesting view.
