  3. Nice one! Great textures! That's a lot of money for a piece of cardboard. I like stories like this, sort of like the antique road show. Where someone buys something for a quarter and it ends up being worth $500,000.

  5. This looks great, Ryan. I love the colors and textures and soft edges. Your blog's the best.

    I wish you had posted this a couple of weeks ago... before our garage sale. My Honus Wagner card sold for what had seemed to be an impressive two dollars and thirty-five cents. Now because of this post I'm on suicide watch.

  7. I always wanted that card when I was a kid. Honus Wagner kind of looks like a young version of my grandpa. Nice image dood.

  11. Great portrait. That cracked paint texture is working well here to give it an aged, old baseball card, look.

    I love your previous post of the robot from Meet the Robinsons. It's nice to see the inner working gears -- funny too. I love drawing robots. It's fun to make them for specialty purposes. I'll have to do a robot themed post one day soon.
