Baseball cake for a baseball-obsessed kid. Cream cheese icing over a chocolate cake makes it look a little like it’s from the deadball era. . #baseball #baseballcake #cake #cakedecorating #birthdaycake #birthdayboy @mlb @rockies #baking #stitching #deadballera

First pass of glazing Honus's face. I'm using @gamblincolors and a nice cocktail with Galkyd, Gamsol, and a hint of oil. #ottolange #oilpainting #realism #artwork #gamblinoils #honuswagner #deadballera #t206 #glazing

More Honus Wagner T206 "reimagined" underpainting. I fixed the letters on the jersey as well ( the guy that did the original flexichrome wasn't exactly a stickler for...perspective). #ottolange #oilpainting #oldmaster #realism #glazing #gamblinoils #honuswagner #t206 #deadballera

What I wouldn’t give for one of these babies in my collection. Hall of Famer Roger Connor was the former career homerun champion before some guy who went by the name “Babe” came along and decided to break the record. Connor hit 138 home runs in an 18 year career. I know, 138 doesn’t quite have the same ring as 714, but in the deadball era, this was quite a feat. This card, the 1887 N284 Gold Coin issue, though not his “rookie” card, is up on eBay with a BIN of $3,200 (PSA-4).

Officially, I might prefer the 1886 N167 Old Judge “rookie” card for my HOF Rookies collection, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers.
