I'm sure the ARod out of syringes is possible, but I just want him to go away.

Thanks - I am already loving the reception and kindness I am seeing. The first, absolute first piece of art that I made like this was the T206 Wagner. I made it back in '09 for the 100th anniversary. I consider it very "rough" as compared to my most recent pieces like the Aaron, Musial, and Clemente. I feel like I have grown considerably as an artist, and I know I have much more growing to go. For some reason, I can't get the Wagner piece to load like the others. You can see it here:

Most of the pieces are in the 34" x 24" range. Some are slightly smaller. Some are a bit larger. For many of my earlier pieces, I even counted the exact amount of common cards it took to create each piece. I have gotten away from that, as I now work on several at once and keeping up with the numbers is virtually impossible.
Here are a few others I have made from the past couple of years:
George Brett from Pine Tar:
Reggie Jackson from Straws (The Straw that Stirred the Drink!):
Ozzie Smith from leather scraps:
Stan Musial from cut cards:
Roberto Clemente from cut cards (just finished this one a couple of days ago):
Jackie Robinson from cut cards:
