Baseball as Fine Art
As an image collector there are certain cards that elevate past a simple baseball card to what I consider fine art.
It's very subjective but I'll post a few of mine that speak to me, lets see some of your favorite images. And if you have any of Graig Kreindler's work please post up, that is a great example of Baseball as Fine Art. - |

Cool thread Phil. Here are two of my favorite cards/images (neither are mine). I also think the T3 set is the most beautiful of all the sets

Paige
Don't have it handy, but the 1953 Topps Satchel Paige...
Cheers, Geno |

Agreed, 53 Topps has some great images. Mantle, Mathews, Berra, Paige, to name a few. Was really the last year where fine artists rendered images of baseball players.

This Speaker happens to be an E90-1, but it's an art piece within any of the different sets. Last edited by CW; 09-21-2022 at 08:37 PM. |

Really great looking cards, guys. I have always thought the orange, psychedelic backgrounds are good looking on this series.
ps...that '50 Jackson, above, is a stunning card. wow..

As much of a fine art image as you'll find in my opinion! Iconic pose!

Anyone who says 56 Clemente isn’t art is welcome to give me theirs to rid themselves of such an unartistic work.

Excuse the old washed out cell phone photo.
My favorite piece of my baseball collection. |

Who could forget the artistic peak of the W512 set?
The W512 Ty Cobb is a particular gem. It shows the not-heavily documented part of his career when he was also a Batman villain. |

That reminded me of the '51 Bowman Richards card. True art. (loving the new scanner, btw)

Japanese Menko Cards
My initial interest in Japanese menko cards was the art. Probably not everyone's taste, but I've really enjoyed them.

This is a modern card, but will fit in nicely with this crowd. I think it's stunning.

I'm partial to these fine portraits from T206.
