Was able to complete this one between travels šŸ˜ In 1982, @topps reintroduced their dedicated all-star cards… the stars & stripes are some of the most iconic designs during this era. I used several of the cards from the ‘82 set in this one. #vintagebaseballcards #topps #baseballart #sportsart #baseballcardart #baseballcardartist #popart #1982 #80s #80svintage #allstarContinue reading
