What a great artist.. Those early diamond King Donruss cards were well done

I own an original Perez painting of the Ripken family

Wow, that is awesome! I will probably forever regret not bidding on the original painting from Dick’s 1982 Donruss Diamond King of Steve Garvey.

I still remember when the first set of Diamond Kings came out with the 1982 Donruss cards. The OG inserts. Every insert since then pales in comparison.

I love Bill's Ripken Family painting!


I have a couple of Yankees paintings by Perez:

I love that Torri Hunter. The red is amazing on that.

Frankly I don't love all of his stuff. But some of it is great. My humble art critique.

Safe to say even in his 80s Dick still has some serious skills. Here is the Julio from his new set.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2a413b5326.jpg

need more
 

Wish they would increase the number of copies for The Immortals / The new immortals books.

I can put in a request.

Thanks Jason!

The Kickstarter disallows certain changes after launch, but Marq (filmmaker) was able to create an “add-on” reward with more books. By adding onto a $25 pledge you will get books for same total price as before.

wont allow me
 

It wont allow me to add onto the $25 reward. The only way I can add on is if I buy the Ground Rule Double or anything higher.

I wish the Perez-Steele postcards would make a comeback. Initially, I was not real high on the cards, preferring baseballs and photographs. I had Maz sign one for a project I was thinking about and started getting other postcards signed. I missed getting Mantle and other hall of fame players by initially sleeping on the postcards. The postcards are a great medium for autographs.

Listened to their interview on John Newmans podcast. Just ordered 2 sets of the cards! Hope they reach their goal.

To honor what would have been the 63rd birthday of Tony Gwynn, I thought I'd post a picture of the Perez giclee I own commemorating his 2007 induction into the Hall of Fame (with Cal Ripken Jr.):

If you hustle you can scoop up the books straight up with no add-on. One is currently available.

UPDATE: Campaign has met its $30K Kickstarter goal so the film, cards, etc are a go!!

And as a bonus, if it hits stretch goal of $40K this 12 x 16 Dick Perez ORIGINAL of Aaron Judge will go to a lucky supporter.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a310783712.jpg

Any updates on this ? Anyone receive their cards yet ?

I got an email update today from the Kickstarter page that the cards have just been shipped, so they should arrive any day now.

What's it called, "A Life in Blotchy Flesh Tones"?
