Handmade Ty Cobb Baseball card

I made this Ty Cobb baseball card for a customer who actually met Ty Cobb when he was very young at a baseball game. He saw Cobb watching the game (Cobb was older and retired at this point) and wanted to get his autograph on his scorecard but was afraid to approach him knowing Cobb had a pretty cantankerous demeanor. The adults with him persuaded him to go ask and Cobb was more than happy to sign his scorecard.
Many years later that man wanted to frame that signed item with a Ty Cobb card. Unable to find an acceptable card, he turned to me and asked for a custom handmade card which he then framed along with the signature. I could not have been happier that my art was now a mere inches from the signature of a legend like Ty Cobb.
