The frame isn’t crooked; I just can’t take good photos.

That is a beautiful Starry Night.

Here is another pic of my baseball ones without all the glare. I have tried putting them in different positions but like this configuration best. I went with the Ted Williams wrapper because I like the looks of it more than any of his cards.

Went to the Philly Show to drop off some items to get graded with SGC (thanks for the free admission) and some more artists are attending. The artist of the painting I bought last time (post above “Babe Ruth Bows Out”, Murray Henderson, was attending and I had a really great conversation with him. Amazing how the different sides the brain work with creativity.

In addition another artist was attending as well. His name is Andy Friedman
https://www.andyfriedman.net/. I talked with him a little while as well and he apparently has some series of cards commissioned through Topps (Spotlight 70) where they take his original art of watercolors and turns them into a card.

I picked this up as a momento from being 10 at the time. They were the greatest players I knew then. Not one of the cards clearly, but still an original 1 of 1.

All of these pieces are incredible! I think I need to get a couple of these made. Would anyone care to share approximately how much they cost?

Here's an original watercolor painting by James Fiorentino used to create card #89 in the 2003 Upper Deck Play Ball set. The level of detail on the original is off the charts.

Google Tim Carroll art. You can order whatever you want. I think the waitlist was like 8 months and the cost about $8k+/-. But contact Tim directly

His pieces are totally amazing
