Nap Lajoie SSCC Sketch Card drawn by Monty Sheldon

Satchel Paige painted baseball by Monty Sheldon

I am sports artist Monty Sheldon and every Sunday night in 2009 I will be auctioning 3-6 of my very first line of one-of-one, finished-penciled, sketch cards -  Sheldon's Sports Card Champions.  Each sketch card of this 2009 art project will become a part of the very first 1/1 sequentially numbered sports sketch card set in the hobby.
 
As the artist of these hand drawn, one-of-one originals, I hold all copyright to the art I am selling.  You have the comfort of knowing that you are purchasing direct from the artist.  None of the cards - or poses on the cards - you see for auction will be duplicated.  I am striving to make this set/art project the absolute best you will see in the hobby and I appreciate all of the interest shown to my auctions thus far.
  
Each card measures 2" X 3 5/8" and is fully penciled with a black ink border.  Also, each card is signed and dated on the back - the date indicates the day I finished the drawing.  All cards are numbered in the order of finish amongst the other sketch cards in this historical set. 
 
With the long history of ACEO artist sketch cards, I thought it was time for me to take a crack at it and add them to my already well established line of one-of-one, hand-painted sports cards and baseballs.  With my hand-painted cards currently selling for $250.00 - $750.00 apiece and baseballs each selling for $1675.00 +, these sketch cards could be a shrewd investment for the lucky collector.  

This S.S.C.C. set/art project will be a nice accompaniment to the hobby's very first all hand-painted 1/1 card set I produced in conjunction with Helmar Brewing.
