Barry Bonds’ record breaking 756th home run ball was purchased by fashion designer Marc Ecko for $752,467. He then defaced the ball by engraving it with an asterisk.

The best stache in baseball belongs to HOFer Rollie Fingers… 3x World Series champ, MVP, Cy Young, and 4x Rolaids Relief Man winner. Three of those Rolaids awards came with San Diego and the 4th with Milwaukee. I used 1978, 81, 83 and 85 @topps to make this piece.

In 1974, @burgerking introduced the slogan, “Have it your way.” A few years later, that meant you could order your burger with a side of @topps baseball cards.

Really happy with how the full-size Dave Parker piece came out. Experimenting with plexiglass has produced amazing results! I used twenty of his 1980 @topps Superstar 5×7 cards for this one. 24"x24" square… 34"x34" when hung as a diamond.
