New 2010 Topps National Chicle Football Paintings By Monty Sheldon

Posted on December 21, 2009 by sportscardinfo

In January, Topps plans to release its highly anticipated 2010 National Chicle Football product. One of the artists that worked with Topps to paint some of the base cards and inserts is Monty Sheldon, who I have interviewed for the site in the past. Monty sent over some scans of his paintings that you could very easily see next month in National Chicle Football. Below you’ll find some of my favorites, and you can see more of his work here.

Is There A Lawyer In The House?

Posted on August 7, 2009 by sportscardinfo

During The National, I passed this one artist who painted a lot of really great sports images. At their booth, they provided a few giveaways for collectors including these mini tobacco sized cards of Christy Mathewson. Every weekend I usually list some cards to sell on eBay, and I thought I would give the Mathewson a chance. Last night I received a message from another eBay user stating the following:

Kindly remove the Mathewson t-206 card given out at The National. This was a business venture using a personal card for Kreindler. Once it goes into the commercial mainstream it becomes liable to the estate and we had no prospect of making money from these cards. By leaving it up you give me no choice but to direct all legal inquiries to you now that you have been advised. I understand you are trying to be clever but it creates an actionable situation which I will not place Mr. Kreindler in.

Just to be on the safe side, I closed the auction. I wasn’t expecting it to sell anyway, but thought I’d just give it a try. If anyone else picked one of these up at The National, be very careful when trying to sell/trade it.

These 2009 Kreindler Paintings Christy Mathewson mini’s are really cool. I think the artist should start his own card company.

PHOTOS: Phillies vs. Orioles

This was my first trip to Citizens Bank Park, and I must say its one of the nicest stadiums I’ve ever been to. Check out some of the photos! More can be found on Facebook.

Suite #65 is where I got to watch the game. Probably the best box I’ve ever watched a game from. Someday I want to see the name “Sports Card Info” on a box.
