It's been awhile since I've put this out there but I did a deep dive video awhile back on trying to date this Satchel Paige image. Its one of my favorite pieces so I really dove into this portion of Satch's career. Please enjoy!

The perfect playing days Satch card and price point eluded me until this beautiful copy popped up. I think this will be the only card I buy in 2025. Yes, it's January but I don’t feel like I need anything else. Maybe that changes in 6 months but for now, this card is enough for a good long time.

On this day in 1972, Roberto Clemente tragically passed away while attempting to fly aid packages to Managua. He was 38. Here’s my painting of him stretching his neck and taking in the sun after a postseason double on October 9, 1972, a little over a week after collecting hit number 3,000.

It's not often you get to add a vintage piece of Josh Gibson to your collection and I can't help but share it on his birthday. Although this is a later reprint (type 4) from 1972, I'm extremely happy since it is almost a zero percent chance I obtain a photo from his playing days.

Happy Birthday Larry Doby!
Here is my wirephoto of the MLB pioneer from when he was signed from the Newark Eagles to the Cleveland Indians in 1947. Integrating the AL took a terrible toll on Doby. On his birthday let us not forget what a brave man he was in this act and in his service during WWII.

Just snagged another Puerto Rican sports magazine with a beauty of a Clemente cover and centerfold. I'll be surprised if I get it by New Years though...media mail from PR is no joke slow.

Roberto Clemente mail day from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 Thrilled to add this 1970 Tómbola Deportiva magazine to my Clemente collection.
"When he says, "for me I'm the best" it's just a matter of self-respect, a self-evaluation of the way he acts compared to his talent."
