This is a conversation I just had in the office.

Me to the new guy: "Hey's it's opening day!"
Him: "It was yesterday for me, I'm a Pirates fan."
Me: "I'm a Giants fan. They're beating the Brewers right now."
Him: "I was a Giants fan as a kid. I had every Will Clark card there was."
Me: "Oh really?"
Him: "Yup."
Me: "Got a second? Open your browser and go to www.thrill22.com."

That's pretty funny! I try to keep my collecting habit to myself when it comes to those types. They had all of them, all 100 they knew to exist. I can't even explain variations to them.

Ha, love those convos (sarcasm)... With the White Letter 86' Donruss HL card I haven't even finished 1986 up yet and I'm 30 years deep in the game

I was at my friends auction house moving some bulk stuff and to my surprise he had this there. He ended up giving it to me. It's the original painting (not print) from Jim(James) Kelly in 1990. It may have been called "Swing Away". It's 32"x45" and done on wood/board material (the name escapes me). It's pretty sweet and I've seen the print available before but to own the original is pretty cool IMO.

Interesting piece! I don't think I've seen the print anywhere.

 

[Spike]

Very cool, Ryan!

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Thx guys. The print was actually on eBay sometime this year but I can't find in completed so it was 60 days+. I did a quick look on Worthpoint and this was in 2014. At least this print version is 17x24.

Anyone have thoughts on this auto...

Just seems a lil' off esp "The Thrill" part. It's very loopy vs how I usually see it, but curious of other thoughts.

I thought the same thing, Ryan.

Just hit an impulse buy. Not sure I needed it, but for $49.97/dlvd it was nice enough.

What's the story on all the 1/1 sketch cards showing up on eBay lately? Looks like a lot are selling. Time to break out my 64-count Crayola???

There are a few that I've actually really wanted, but not at the prices they are going for. Most are just eh, and some are terrible. But obviously there is a market, I'm not sure what guy is doing the buying, but I'd expect them to show til the sales stop. A few of the sketch artists out there I'd like to get one done someday but I wouldn't go above $20 for any I want. The Clark sketch card that sold for $40+ was pretty amazing in terms of detail and another they did sold for $25ish.
