1951 Bowman Mantle from cut junk era commons
 

I'm going to be spending my rainy weekend on a '33 Ruth, but I put the finishing touches on this one first. Approximately 28"x18".

Tim, just SPECTACULAR!!!!!

That's cool!!!!

very cool...great idea, great execution!

These are always awesome. How long do these typically take?

Very cool.

Hi Nate...
I once had the exact amount of time and the exact number of cards used for each piece. Once I started working several pieces at once, I stopped tracking those stats. When I was tracking, the average time was around 40-45 hours. This Mantle took a little longer than that.

This might be my favorite yet....

I agree it might be your best one yet.

Flippin' brilliant, Tim. This is probably my favorite as well.

I would love to see a gallery show of these!!

Thank you all for the kind words!

Really appreciate it, Graig. Working on that Dan Dee Mantle gave me the itch to complete some of the unfinished Mantles I have had going for awhile. Hopefully I can get enough pieces done by next fall to make some sort of show a reality!

I would gladly donate modern junk cards for these projects!!! Awesome!!!

Your work is amazing.

Awesome work Tim. Was this commissioned or is this one for sale?

Thanks again to everyone!

Thank you! This was not a commission, just something I have been working on a little bit at a time over the past year. It is available. If interested, please shoot me an inbox or email (timcarrollart@yahoo.com).
