Very nice, Adam. Eventually I will do a section on my personal collection website where I have the photos and any of the corresponding cards will be. I have already been looking at '25 Exhibit Gehrig cards. I shouldn't have sold my one I bought raw as NR-MT-MT (coming back a 5 from a TPG). However, it brought some coin back in the day (8-9 yrs ago). I think I just have too many projects going.

Since I started this thread I guess I can go off topic in it, concerning projects? Whilst collecting the photos fervently, I just now (minutes ago) updated my T210 series run. I had waited and waited to acquire them in groups and finally I completed it. None are typically high grade as I tend to collect lower end cards with nice eye appeal. Whatever floats your boat!!

Staying with Adam's theme on W517 art here is one.....and it came in a nice display to boot!!

Another of my favorites, boxer heavyweight champ Ezzard Charles. It has a photo pasted to a heavy board with more than half of the photo painted ink ink. His name is hand painted on. Notice that his trunks and much of his glove is completely painted. I consider this a work of art.





Now that I remember, I should add that many to most of these photos, at least the ones I had, had a small printer's instruction sheet loosely affixed on back, listing what colors inks were to be used, proofs, etc. Adam's Lucille Ball shown above has one. I'm not saying they all have the sheet, as that may not be the case. I can't even remember if all mine had the sheet.

The finished product, signed by Mr. Charles.

Nice pick up all...I managed to snag Bucky Harris. I just picked up his exhibit card so I'm stoked to have gotten the photo!
