The search continues!.

I always liked the 1984 Donruss Baseball set for their no black line transition into the white borders. I also liked the teal color backs. Maybe that teal color is close enough to the CCU team.

YES! THIS! Lol, Keep me busy, please! The vintage stuff is just so pretty, and I want to recreate as many as I can in my lifetime.

Great work! I love them all, but the Clemente is extra special to me. I love the cut card faces, really cool mosaics! Welcome to our community!

Thanks! I feel that, technically, I am getting better with each and every piece. I learn something new every time, and I feel it makes the next one even better. The Clemente is my latest, and I feel that it rivals the Aaron as my strongest work.

Interesting. I'm 35, and I started collecting in '87. For the next few years, '84 product was out of that 9-12 year old's budget (thank you, Don Mattingly). By the time the early 90's were rolling around I was into Frank Thomas, 1962 Topps, and 1955 Bowman. Any money I made at shows or mowing yards went to those cards, and I had no care for the mid-89's stuff anymore. I'm not sure I have ever owned a 1984 Donruss common in my life. I'll certainly check into that....thanks for the lead!

Here is the story I wrote on Tim's work a few years ago: http://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com...-honus-wagner/

It shows and tells a little about the process by which he creates these works. When I first saw what he did, I thought it was a stroke of genius and still do. You may never own a T206 Wagner but you might be able to own a Carroll Wagner.

1990 Donruss commons have never been put to better use.
