Ars Longa Art Cards

Jesse is also open to exploring new subjects if you shoot him an email. His full gallery of cards are on display on his website.

Just my 2 cents

Jesse Loving is very passionate about his fantasy cards.

I originally approached him to custom make me two for the nephew of 19th century baseball star Gus Weyhing, who could not afford to buy the N172s of his relatives. Ed Weyhing was floored by what Jesse did for him.

I have a couple of cards & an ad poster of the Kimball's that I picked up on eBay when they first started out, so they were inexpensive.
The Kimball's like ad was around $10ish I think.

Less expensive than a Ramly too.

I bought a Matt Kilroy after I got outbid for the 50th time trying to win a Kilroy OJ. I'm happy with the card for now as my replacement

These are very nice looking cards. I think if they were selling for a dollar or two a piece they would be great. However, they are selling for a lot more. Is there a limit on the production of these cards or can they produce as many as they want? If the latter, then I would be careful.
Also, I think many of the early images they are basing their cards on were copyrighted. I assume that these copyrights are no longer valid --does anyone know if this is the case?

I agree completely. The Ars Longa cards seem a lot like the modern Helmar cards. They are neat and everything, but it shocks me what some of them are selling for at auction. Currently, there is a Honus Wagner Ars Longa at $224 on eBay, a Shoeless Joe auction at $152, a Connie Mack card at $112 and a Walter Johnson card at $76.

At +/- $10 they would be a potential buy for me. However, For +/- $100 they aren't for me, even if they are limited production. They do look great though..
