Here are 2 originals by Dick Perez, of Tony Perez. The latter is the original painting used to create his Perez-Steele HOF Card. It came from REA a few years ago, and I still haven't gotten around to framing it...

I guess you could call this a Cleveland version of a Willard Mullin.
Lou Darvas was a longtime, heralded cartoonist for the Cleveland Press. This is the original artwork for a two-column cartoon that ran in the Press Sports section sometime in the 1950s.

Astounding artwork from everyone!
Mark. Those Perez/Perez paintings are just fabulous. How did you acquire the first one?
Rob D. Boy do I love that Darvas. I have a Lou Darvas of the Bambino swinging in a tribute that came out in the Sporting News in 1948 the day before Babe Ruth Day at the stadium. It hangs in my living room (no wife). However my girlfriend is coming out from China tomorrow and maybe I can get her to take a picture of it and load it into my laptop. Darvas was a great cartoonist for sure. This original drawing is from the Topps Vault and was featured on the back of Maris' 1966 Topps card: maris1966origart.jpg backofrogermaris1966TOPPScard.jpg Keep the art coming guys...

Rob
At some point, I'll have to take a photo of my Darvas drawing of Rocky Colavito and post it here. Max

Jimmy:
We really have some similar taste... I also have an original Mullin of the Bum and the same type of Topps Cartoon art. I will try to dig both up, and post them before too long. Regarding the first Perez painting, it was also acquired from REA in the same auction. They had so many Dick Perez originals offered at once, that the prices remained fairly low. It was a unique opportunity, and in retrospect, I wish I tried harder for a few more. The only other piece I acquired at the time was the original Ty Cobb Watercolor used to make his Greatest Moments Card. A beautiful piece, which I sold a couple of years ago.
