1888 Goodwin Champions....Mighty Casey?

[TimCarrollArt]

Yes....yes it is.

Had an opportunity to do some work for the National Pastime Museum (Casey at the Bat-inspired). Since it was written in 1888, I thought Casey should have his own card. Approximately 17" x 27". Made from cut cards. Not available.

I love this idea and the quality/look is fantastic! I'm all for anything that makes cards from 80&up less common and you literally turn them into a work of art. Great job

Awesome job. That would also make for a great custom card.

I have no artistic skill, but it sounds like you would like the bonfires I've been having.

Tim,

Hello, my friend.

Great job on Mighty Casey. Best fantasy card on this side of the site. Definitely on par with Mouschi's Jose Canseco Post-War creations.

Best regards,

Thanks! I am currently working on a commissioned '33 Goudey green Ruth. I am looking forward to tackling some of my favorite T205's in the future (Walter, Cy, Ty, among others).

Burning 80's-90's cards I guess? I couldn't do it, but getting rid of them in bunches is the only way they would ever be worth something in the future. I like less evil approaches like the art work shown here or handing them out to kids in school or at Halloween.

I figure the latter works well two ways. Either you get future collectors, or the cards just get thrown out/ruined by the kids. If you can get some hooked by giving a pile of 50-100 cards that are twice as old as them, then that helps the hobby. I know I would have loved that when I was a kid, but I started collecting when I was five.
