What is your favorite piece of baseball art -- regardless of format?

[dbussell12]

It can be a poster, print, painting, photo, card, song, film, movie, book -- you name it!

i'll start with a real gem... the paintings of graig kreindler. his cy young portrait is just fraught with absolute quality. all of his paintings are fantastic, but there's so much life to this one in particular.

[BioCRN]

Every W512 card because the low-effort nightmare that almost every one of them are has me in awe that someone decided to say "Run the presses!" after seeing the artwork that they commissioned.

[Jay Wolt]

I have a few pieces of art in the collection
My favorite is an Eddie Plank done by Graig & commissioned by some friends.

[aelefson]

Graig's paintings are awesome! My favorite in my collection is pictured below. It came from the estate of a noted Americana dealer and I believe it is from the 1880s.

My dad makes custom pieces for my items. My two favorite that I have pictures of on my computer are these. One of the most recognizable 19th century prints (not an original) and a frame to match the dugout behind the great St Louis Browns outfield from the 1920s of Williams, Jacobson and Tobin. One thing that doesn't show up here is that he used sand in the paint to mimic the rough feel of concrete.

Here are a few of mine:

The Hassan with Cobb and Mathewson is a small repro stand that I got at a card show years ago. I just like it. I haven't taken the Goudey Gehrig or Play Ball DiMaggio out of the plaque; I'm pretty sure they are repro. The Ken Haag litho signatures are 100% legit; the 1985 Yankees Magazine cover is a reprint, the Dimaggio and Mantle signatures are done with Sharpie but are probably not genuine. I got this at one of those Coral Square Mall card shows years ago cheap. I just like these things in the "man cave".

Casey, I've loved that perfect action shot of Say Hey ever since I first saw it in a book in the late 1960s. Unforgettable. --- Brian Powell

[dbussell12]

i love to see the original art in here guys as well as the ad art; that beautiful commissioned graig portrait of plank jay! great stuff. the say hey action shot as well casey and brian is so memorable for me too. cheers all!

[Baseball Rarities]

If I could only pick one by Graig Kreindler, I think that it would have to be this of the Weiser Wonder.

I am also fond of this piece by Tim Carroll. It pictures Walter Johnson's 1908 Rose Co. postcard and is made of cut up modern cards.

[molenick]

Shameless plug for my daughter who you can commission to do an an original work of art based on the baseball card of your choice (these are my three favorites of the ones she has done).

[asoriano]

Probably my original watercolor painting by James Fiorentino, which was used for card #89 in the 2003 Upper Deck Play Ball set. I think it was a redemption card that you could send to Upper Deck to get an original in return.

[dbussell12]

these are awesome guys. great topic for me to see because i do a lot of painting myself. you guys might enjoy this portrait of honus wagner i just did tonight based off his 1967 retirado image --

Ruth & Gehrig painting from 1989

[brianp-beme]

Besides various cards, I don't own much baseball 'art'. I do like to share this fun Ruth caricature (I don't own the original artwork, just a cutout from a newspaper from the early 1930's).

[robw1959]

While I cannot compete with Graig Kreindler, my favorite is an acrylic painting I did at the age of 17. I owned both '56 and '57 Topps cards of Mays, so I decided to do a composite of them.

Original art from 1985 Detroit News

Ali signed Poster of the great Ali.

Pascual, who was famous for moving dirt around with his foot between pitches.

[LEHR]

I've posted this a few times before. My favorite piece is a painting of Fred Clarke at the Polo Grounds that Graig Kreindler did for me back in 2016. The size is deceiving in the photo. Framed this is a little over 3 feet tall.

[bnorth]

I can never get a good pic of these. I have them on a wall that gets no direct sunlight in a room full of windows. As a group these 8 cut card pieces are my favorite. I have a story for everyone of them. Took me around a year and a half to have all 8 made. I commissioned the Wade Boggs first and then went all in.

[REG1976]

Here is my artwork of Mike Marshall that I did for 8th grade art class back in 1975 as a graded art project. This was done for my Dad as he was a big Dodger Fan and now the oil painting on canvas is hanging in my Garage
