Batter Up

The line art used for this fake card was originally drawn for a weekly challenge. The character I created for it was up until now unnamed.

Equinox City comes from an comic strip idea that never saw the light of day.

All the black and white drawings from the challenge are in Fifty Two available from Amazon.

See the 1st pic of Devers in a pseudo Giants uniform is on a #Topps #Traded #BaseballCard.

He's due to be in the lineup today vs the #Guardians & will wear #16 because #11 (his # in Boston) belonged to Carl Hubbell & was retired by the Giants.

See the 2nd pic for a glimpse of his new Giants' jersey hanging in his locker in the clubhouse.

I have a few question for #Baseball fans in general and #BaseballCard collectors in particular.
I’m looking to build an every #WorldSeries winning #Dodgers team. And I want cards that are from the year in which a particular team won.
For instance, for the 1955 #WS winning team I would want the #SandyKoufax from that year.
Where would I start? Who’s trustworthy? I know nothing of Baseball Card collecting, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got this as a present from a business Partner. I am rallye thankful!

Here's a pleasant little story for the #baseballcard folks out there.

I always buy singles for so many reasons, but I woke up this morning and said 'I maybe want a blaster box of Stadium Club. But there's no way Walgreen's will have that specific brand so I'll just get a generic repack box; those seem fun." And...Walgreen's had Stadium Club. They not only lock up their card boxes, the salesperson doesn't even let you carry a box to the register. πŸ˜‚

Anyway, I have terrible luck with rips. I never even get guys I PC. But this time, so many PC players! Dale Murphy, Jacob DeGrom, Shohei. I love deadball era guys and there was a Christy Matthewson. And a base Paul Skenes rookie card!

A reminder to us singles folks that sometimes packs can be fun.

Bill Ripken sketch card commission.

Probably one of my more unique sketch commission requests, apparently they just really like that particular infamous baseball card.

Update on the #vintage #baseballcard saga: SGC grading service says it is not a fake. I am relieved, but also part of me would have welcomed a refund because I am not fully comfortable with how much I paid πŸ˜‚ Nice to know what one's limit is.
Good news for anyone following my unimportant little #baseballcard saga. The USPS delivered both cards (the Rosen and the Erskine) just now. I do wish they hadn't marked the first one as delivered yesterday, kicking all of this BS off, but c'est la guerre.
I have another #baseballcard supposedly arriving today. It's also a '56 Topps, a Carl Erskine. I'm going to bring it to my Dad so he can see if Carl will sign it, since they both live in tiny #Indiana. Dad once saw Carl play the national anthem on the harmonica at a #Fever game πŸ˜‚. Obviously I'm very antsy listening for the delivery in case someone grabs this one too.
