Great questions. On average, approximately 1,100-1,200 cards are used. With this Torre piece - it was the first time I had ever cut a card older than 1984. The request was to use as many Torre cards as possible. I was provided an extremely nice supply (there was even a '62 Topps RC in there!) I didn't use the 62, but I did use several other issues from the '60's. Almost all pieces I create use cards from the mid-late '80's and early 90's. I have been working with newer issues lately, as I am working with the Upper Deck Company on an ongoing project (non-exclusive). If you happen to attend the National, stop by on Friday or Saturday at the UD booth. I am working on one of their pieces on-site, and I would love to meet as many Net54 members as possible.
