Default My Call to the Hall

Next week will mark the 10 year anniversary of making my first piece of art from cut baseball cards, and I am excited to be celebrating it in a pretty cool way. My 1955 Topps Sandy Koufax will be permanently displayed in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Can't wait to get up to Cooperstown and see it on the wall!

Wow Tim... that is so cool.

There are likely not many of us here who have anything personal in the Hall.

Sincere congratulations.

Fantastic! Congrats Tim!

3 years ago the Hall’s acquisitions committee unanimously voted to accept a drawing done by my dad, as a donation (these things get voted on, they don’t just accept any donation).

Tim, what an amazing honor!

Incredible work! And, to think you found a way to make some use of the worthless over-produced modern cards is a tremendous bonus.

How much does one of these cost if I wanted a specific card made and what size are they for that price?

One last question, will you ensure 1 of 1 on the card fronts you do and would you also consider doing the cards back?

Shot you a PM with the lengthy details, but absolutely....each image is done once and once only. There are so many cards I want to get to in my lifetime, and I care nothing about sitting in front of the same exact image 70-100+ hours more than once.
