Thank you, Paul. The 50's selection has been very kind to me. I have worked the '52 Bowman Musial, '54T Aaron, '55T Clemente, '56 Clemente, '51B Mays, '51B Mantle, and that DanDee Mantle. I'm currently working on others from the '50's as well. I agree - the designs and portraits from these cards lend themselves to being prime candidates for what I do.

Thanks, Pete! Can't believe that is still the only Cobb card piece I have done. I'm sure one of those T206's or the Cracker Jack is on the horizon. As for Chuck Close, he is definitely an inspiration to my work. I first saw his self-portraits in an Art Education class from a local community college way back when. Good stuff.

250K is is an extremely close estimate (from counting 5K & 3500 ct boxes). When I moved to Conway, SC, a former shop owner heard about what I was doing and offered up his surplus. That makes up of roughly half my inventory. I had another local ask if I wanted his cards about a year ago. He understood the era in which they were printed. I gained another 60-65K that day. I still purchase commons if I need specific colors - especially the boxed sets like TTraded or Donruss "Rookies". Those purchases are few and far between.
