I'm not sure how to properly entitle this thread but I always enjoy seeing scans of of baseball cards, premiums and memorabilia which have been turned into pieces of "folk-art" or otherwise used for everyday things back at the time these items were made or issued. For example, I always enjoy seeing quilts made of B18 blankets and pillow cases made of S110 silks. So, if you have some original pieces of baseball memorabilia or cards which were turned into folk-art - post 'em.

This is one of my favorites - simple, yet beautiful to me. It's a B18 "pin cushion."

These were not produced from cards or other memorabilia, but I would call them Folk art.
