Today in the mail I received a package from sports artist Monty Sheldon. Sheldon is famous for painting his Artballs of popular baseball players and will be doing some of the artwork in the upcoming Topps National Chicle Football and Baseball sets. Last week I did an interview with him and as a thank you he sent over a few card sets that he created for promotional purposes. Below you’ll find a few cards from each set. I think they look very nice, and each set contains cards of players you don’t always hear about, especially from the Black Sox Scandal. Click on each photo for a closer look.
Babe Ruth from the 8-card Triple Fold Sheldon Series 1 set
Christy Mathewson from the 36-card “Goudey” style Sheldon Series 2 set
Sheldon Series 3 consists of 8 mini cards featuring players from the Black Sox Scandal
This is one of 9 postcards that he sent me. Its from his Series 1 postcard set he used for a gallery show back in 2006.
