I beleive if you label your own art as outsider art and offer it on eBay, it isn't outsider art. Especially if you accept PayPal.

What a riot. The "artist" even got the Yankee logo "N" backwards on the uniform and hat.

The most priceless card in our collection just happens to be a handmade Babe Ruth that our son gave to us about two years ago. I wouldn't sell it for any amount (despite the fact it would carry a premium value as an error card, given the misspelling of Ruth's name.)

When I was a kid I made my own baseball cards, including of Robin Yount. Involved cutting and pasting magazine pictures on cardboard, with little to no drawing.

I remember that as a young crayon artist the Ohio State football uniforms fascinated me. All those little things (Buckeye stickers) on the helmets.

You might be onto something there, Chris. Anyone out there ever smoke a buckeye leaf?

The next thing you will tell me is that I have no career as an artist, from my lifelike rendering of a Saskatchewan combine below...

One should never be too quick to criticize folk art (ok, so I did it in a post above...but it was just so bad).

In Nova Scotia, in the 1960's, Maude Lewis (1903-1970)would try and sell her folk art paintings for $5, with few buyers. If you google her works now, her paintings sell for $5,000.



She is not known to have done any baseball paintings.

Considering that some "art" collectors will pay thousands of dollars for artwork done by elephants, monkees etc. only goes to show that even crap can be considered vogue. These so-called collectors are only an embarrasment to the collectors of real art, not to mention, true artists as well. Of course the irony about the "artists" that produce the "crap art" is that they usually have to be dead before their work is "appreciated".

I think the real irony is all the judgmental stuff that goes on anytime something thats off norm shows up or is outside peoples' comprehension. Take a quick look at what we collect folks. How come it is not considered 'crap' also? Is it merely becuase there are hundreds of likeminded people on this forum?

I'm not saying that people don't have the right to an opinion about whether something is good or not, but when you start lumping people into "so called collectors" categories and try to define "real art" and "real artists" then thats where i get lost. Its all about perspective and defintion.

One of the things I collect is beat up baseball tobacco cards - to someone who doesn't understand collecting or doesn't understand how many of us view these pieces of cardboard, what i own is "crap", are not "real baseball cards" and weren't produced by "real baseball card companies".

Should i be considered an embarrassment to those that collect pristine high end graded cards, because those are considered "real art" and what i collect is not? I don't think so, and i don't think the same judgements can be made about art either.

No real argument here. Just some thoughts.
