when i first discovered nolan ryan in the late 70's i thought, "hey, there's a cool name" !
he quickly became a target of mine in my early card collecting days.....as a new englander, my first dozens of major league games were at fenway park in boston.....so in 1980, when this nolan ryan card came out, with an image from a game at fenway park (notice the fenway green wall) well, that was pretty cool
~~the PACK OF CARDS series~~
growing up i was obsessed with baseball cards
i collected as many as i could get my hands on, and i studied them!
the artwork, the stats, everything, i couldn't get enough
literally every dime i made on my paper route went to cards
baseball cards taught me about math, statistics, economics, spelling,
geography, graphic design, on and on....
and they became an integral part of my love for the game
in this series, i will be revisiting and reimagining some of my favorite cards.
each piece of original art will be framed along with the original card,
double, sometimes triple matted, with museum glass
(there won't be any prints made, just the originals)
i'll add progress pics so you can follow the creation of each piece
