My 3 favorite sets of all time would be the ‘52 Topps issue, the Cracker Jacks and the ‘33 Goudey Gum. After years of trying, 2025 saw a major breakthrough and I was able to produce Cracker Jacks and Goudeys! The balance on these—like the Cracker Jacks—left me torn. I can make them EXACTLY like the originals or I can make them a hint cleaner and prettier. I chose the latter. These are unnumbered and may not reach a limit as it’s a format I absolutely love and won’t likely grow tired of.
Player selection is fairly random; ranging from Bots Nekola to Babe Ruth. The photo is what drives me on these. The reverses will change after the first copies are sold to standard tobacco & ale advertisements with drawings of John McGraw, Connie Mack, Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb. The era will cover 1910-1960. I’m not sure about the interest in the 50’s and 60’s—but they’ll definitely pop up here and there. You might notice different sketch styles on a few (Dazzy Vance with the Reds, Rick Ferrell, etc); that’s a different artist. I love his work but a bit pricey to commission a whole set. Still, those have a very vintage vibe and I really like them.
Populations of each card will not exceed 5—including 1 pack-fresh copy available of each. A few guys have as many as 3 different poses and Babe Ruth has 2 variations with Boston. The full-body will only be available in the store or at Christmas.
I hope you like ALL of our cards, but I’d do a Snoopy dance to find collectors as excited about these as I am. Enjoy the browse!
***NOTE: Scans are quite large. The cards at actual size are much sharper. The half-tone (dots) are very apparent when cards are enlarged.***
