To follow up my last post on the triple signed Bird/Dr.J/Magic rookie card…I had this wonderful painting commissioned by “When It Was a Game” on instagram. She will recreate ANY sports card for you in painting. A crossover of cards and art (both things I heavily collect) really fits my collection. Looking forward to getting this matted and framed and up on my wall! What an amazing painting - and watercolor is so hard to work with! Check out the colors and detail!

To follow my last triple card post, this is one of my favorite cards in my entire collection. The 1980-81 Topps Bird/Dr.J/Magic rookie. Signed by all three players. Such an iconic card that I had a painting made of it (I’ll post that next). I remember being 7 years old and buying packs of this with my brother at a local hardware shop. Yup, I tore all of them up in thirds.
