Next week will mark the 10 year anniversary of making my first piece of art from cut baseball cards, and I am excited to be celebrating it in a pretty cool way. My 1955 Topps Sandy Koufax will be permanently displayed in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Can't wait to get up to Cooperstown and see it on the wall!

Awesomeness.

That is so cool! Congrats!
Wow, that’s a crazy impressive honor - congrats!
Jim
Great honor - congratulations.
Planning on making a trip to Cooperstown for the induction, I will make sure to stop by and get a picture of it! Congratulations!!
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Thanks, everyone!
Thank you! After framing, it was approximately 24" x 32". I know the Hall is reworking that setup, so it may be a touch larger when it's on the wall.

Great news and great work.
Very nice !!! Congratulations.
Hiya Tim
Not surprised buddy - congratulations.
As said - you're a true artist with a special talent.
I've seen similar work by others that's darn good - but in comparison?
I'd have to say you're the "Rockwell" of cut card art.
edit: for anyone who might think that this is being done via some sort of a "mechanical" method - I watched Tim do a Thome card at the national this past year - free-hand.
Wow, what an honor! Congratulations!!
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Couldn't happen to a cooler dude and congratulations! Great piece, too.
Well done!! Congrats and well deserved.
Huge "Congratulations"! The best always find their way to the Hall. Enjoy it to the max.
Wow! Congratulations.
Thanks,

I'm absolutely speechless. I knew your art belonged in a museum. Congratulations. Beautiful art, beautiful story.🖼
Wow , very nice and very cool .
It's also cool that Koufax himself will probably see it if he makes it up to Cooperstown. Congrats!
Congrats!
Thanks again, everyone!

What a honor! Congratulations.
Since I have no artistic abilities, your work amazes me and leaves me speechless!
Amazing. You’re quite an inspiration.
