Who's Next in the Graig Kreindler Topps Subset

[whitehse]

The set is now complete at 20 cards. This really is a very cool set and when you consider that Graig was painting these players at the same time he was doing the 200+ portraits for the Negro League Hall of Fame at the same time, I have no doubt he is in need of some down time.

Great job Graig....

Below are the print runs for these cards.

Babe Ruth - 1619
Lou Gehrig - 1579
Ty Cobb - 1549
Roberto Clemente - 1541

I have them all. Very nice examples of Graig's fine work. Does anyone know if he is going to have any additional, new cards in the near future?

Late to the party, but those are great looking cards. Kudos to Graig.

Topps printed to order and supposedly printed no others although I suspect they printed slightly more than what was ordered by collectors.

Do you mean the Negro League Baseball Museum?

Those are great cards, I need to get a Williams and Mathews, wish he would have done a Boggs.

Any news of further collaborations with Topps forthcoming? I've really enjoyed seeing Graig's work in print, even if keeping up with the release schedule has be taxing for my poor memory. I'd love to see more, especially if offered in a larger format like the Negro League postcards.
