My guess - Conlon.

Heavily trimmed. Reporting these to Blowout.

Not trimmed - conserved.

I’m working on a full-blown PSA slab made entirely of cards that will be finished this fall (different card), but I have to share this setup a client just sent me. Having 4 of the 15 slabbed copies of this Star Cal Mantle attached to the work is just beautiful. I don’t have the exact measurements, but knowing how tall the art itself is, this one must be around 4 feet tall:

Back from the National! I really enjoyed getting to meet several of you while working in Chicago, and look forward to meeting many more next year in Atlantic City. I told members of the boards I would post my progress of the Trout that I was working on at the show - so here it is:

cool to see the process in progress!

Trimmed, chewed by rats, mustaches drawn on, whatever......I have no desire to cut vintage of any kind.

If memory serves me correctly, you had/have work in Cooperstown, correct?

Has the Hall of Fame itself ever reached out to you to commission anything? Your talent is so unique and unbelievable, I could easily see you becoming a staple in marketing for the hobby/baseball/sports.

Thank you all! Kyle, indeed - my Koufax 55 Topps hangs in the Shoebox Treasures exhibit at the Hall. Here is an article that was done by the Baseball Hall shortly after the exhibit opened: https://baseballhall.org/discover/sh...ebox-treasures



By the way......I finally finished the Trout I was working on at the National:

My latest 2 pieces:

Banksy's Girl With Balloon (30" x 40")




1958 Mission Orange Mickey Mantle:




Also, it was a great feeling to hear Baseball Hall of Fame curator John Odell's thoughts of the Koufax piece that is in the Shoebox Treasures exhibit:
