Upstairs at Citizens Bank Park hanging in the Phillies Diamond Club is one of the greatest pieces of Phillies artwork ever created. The Phillies “Dream Team” piece was created by Jamie Cooper and features various Philadelphia Phillies from different eras. It even has Harry Kalas interviewing Richie Ashburn to the right. I wrote a post about this piece of work last January, and recently I was contacted by Mr. Cooper who wanted to know my thoughts about making prints of the piece available to collectors. As of right now, only extremely high-end copies are available to collectors and can cost into the thousands. Cooper would like to offer collectors a chance to own a copy of this print, but at a more economical cost.
What he is thinking about is creating a 45 x 18 inch print on 250 gsm art stock. The price would probably be around $125.00 plus shipping & handing. Right now this isn’t definite, but he asked if I would help spread the word informing Phillies fans that this could be something available. In my opinion, its the greatest piece of Phillies artwork ever created. It just looks so cool!!
Please let me know what you think of this idea. Jamie is looking for some feedback to see if its worth going through with. He has had a lot of requests to make the painting more affordable.

This is a mock-up of what the print could look like. The names of the players and the story of the painting would come on an attached COA. If anyone is interested in purchasing a print, please contact Jamie Cooper at: jamie@jcap.com.au

THis is the Holy Grail of Phillies art! Great job- I want a copy- I wish Trio and Kruk were included but understand you can’t include everybody.
Hi Chip
yeah… it’s pretty tough to finalize a list like this. you could include 100 players and still feel like someone has been left out. this is not an official top 25. it is a cross section of greats from the past 125 years of this amazing club. they are just symbolic of the talent that has walked through the Phillie’s clubhouse. can you imagine the stories they would be telling each other?! I loved doing this painting. there are a whole lot of hidden secrets in this image. Go to my website to see the full story. http://www.jcap.com.au
For example…There is an apology letter written to Alice in Richie Ashburn’s locker. And an alarm clock in Dutch’s locker with the date (from the mayan calendar) he believes we are all going to be beamed up. all in good fun.
Mr.Coope,
I have been a Phillies fan since 1949 and would love to have a print of the Phillies Dream Team. If you are planning to make the print available please let me know as soon as possible. I will hang it in a place of Honor in my Home.
Thanks,
Joe Fiandra
