Cut junk era commons = most iconic cards ever

If memory serves me correctly, you had/have work in Cooperstown, correct?

Has the Hall of Fame itself ever reached out to you to commission anything? Your talent is so unique and unbelievable, I could easily see you becoming a staple in marketing for the hobby/baseball/sports.

Thank you all! Kyle, indeed - my Koufax 55 Topps hangs in the Shoebox Treasures exhibit at the Hall. Here is an article that was done by the Baseball Hall shortly after the exhibit opened: https://baseballhall.org/discover/sh...ebox-treasures



By the way......I finally finished the Trout I was working on at the National:

My latest 2 pieces:

Banksy's Girl With Balloon (30" x 40")




1958 Mission Orange Mickey Mantle:




Also, it was a great feeling to hear Baseball Hall of Fame curator John Odell's thoughts of the Koufax piece that is in the Shoebox Treasures exhibit:

Tim I have to say I get excited whenever this thread bumps. I know I'm going to be treated to something that has nothing to do with any of the negativity in the hobby right now, and man is that a good feeling.

The power of art.

Tim,

Have any of the subjects seen your work? If so what was the reaction?

Scott, thanks so much for the words of encouragement! Several have seen it (Dawson and Vizquel even commissioned pieces after seeing other work), with the best reaction coming from Bo Jackson. I was told he took the time to go over the piece, naming players he saw throughout. He paused when he got to Kirby Puckett and said that Kirby was his friend....mumbled how he missed him. He didn't say anything directly about the art itself, but he didn't have to. It's those kind of reactions that make the difference - evoking some memories and emotion.


As for my latest piece, here you go, Joe.....the Black Swamp Find E98 Honus Wagner:
