Cut junk era commons = most iconic cards ever

[jason.1969]

A funny twist would be to flip this approach around by cutting up valuable vintage cards to create a 1989 Upper Deck Jerome Walton RC. Okay, kidding of course! Love your stuff!

I'd expect to hear from people soon....he's a pretty powerful player on Twitter.

I woke today to find many, MANY more emails than I am used to receiving. This definitely explained it! To have anyone - and I mean anyone - to rank my work with some of the guys in the sports art business that we all enjoy....it's a powerful thing for the confidence!

I've always wondered if I could get PSA to special order a custom holder with enlarged flip to encase one of my pieces (I would want the '52 Mantle done this way). I would display it on an easel rather than hang it. If anyone knows someone within the PSA ranks that can make this happen......pretty please?

Oh, the cards I once traded for a Jerome Walton '89 UD (along with a Dwight Smith from the same set)! I would be run out of town for this type of project, lol.

Much better chance of making one with a 3-D printer !

I'd think Joe would love to slab your Mantle for publicity purposes.

What about building a GIGANTIC bicycle out of pieces of scrap metal and then putting your '52 Cut Junk Mantle in the spokes. Sorta like this...




That would make the ultimate display.

I'm thinking more like "Gem Mint 10", lol.

Maybe he and I can make something work for both of us.

Hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays! Being a teacher, the 2 week break gives me a chance to spend some extended hours at the drafting table. Just finished this '53 Topps Jackie. I have some commission pieces that should be finished in the upcoming months (a couple of Walter Johnsons and a 54 Bowman Furillo, just to name a few). Have a Happy New Year!
