In 1982, Donruss introduced their Diamond Kings subset, featuring the artwork of @dickperezart Each wax pack also included a puzzle piece for a HOF King. Babe Ruth was the inaugural puzzle… but, I chose 1989’s Warren Spahn, which featured a yellow & red star border pattern.

Was able to complete this one between travels 😁 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
Donruss issued some pretty bland designs in their first 4 years, however something happened in ‘85… I suspect they changed creative directors. The new design was bold: a black border with complimentary red striping. They also created the iconic Rated Rookie logo that year. I made this with the two most popular cards from theContinue reading
My latest piece 😁 In 1959, @Topps named their first All-Star Rookie team and printed a trophy on the ‘60 set. In ’73, they replaced the trophy with this Revere Cup, but stopped using it after ’78. The cup came roaring back in ’87 with Jose Canseco… the hottest player on the planet at theContinue reading

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 ball now sits in the Hall of Fame. I used 70 cards to make this… choosing 1989 Donruss. The orange backs tie Barry’s early years asContinue reading
