They are releasing this piece as their tribute to Yankee Stadium.Baseballcardstories art has several elements.  First, they generate a story told through cards.  Secondly they create a fun and different word description for each work.  Then they create an artistic center that expresses the theme using only the baseball cards.  The story is completed with a collage of player cards representing the history and originality of the work.This particular piece is named, “Built by Ruth, Home to Legions and The Playground of Legions”.  It represents the history of Yankee Stadium from 1923-2008. The inside portion of the piece is 20 by 30 inches. The parts of the artistic interpretation are the famous facade, the existing top of the stadium walls, the world championship banner, and the original front of the building. The clock shows the time of 4:18 which is the date Yankee Stadium opened in 1923.  Again, all of this was created using only baseball cards, glue and patience. The center piece is surrounded by the cards of events and players that made it a special icon for the country and world. The upper portion has a sublime three which is blended into the collage. Inside of the three are pictures of man that built the stadium, Babe Ruth. On the left and right sides are the subliminal letters N and Y. Inside of these are trading cards that show the stadium and players related to the opening in 1923. At the bottom portion of the work are the numbers 1-9-2-3.  The year is filled in with players and staff from that time. Many cards were used, but the whole is often greater than the parts and that is certainly true with this work. The art piece measures 40 by 60 inches.  It is offered framed in black molding and has a Plexiglas cover for protection.  The total dimension framed measures 43 x 63 inches.There is so much history captured, that the piece can be studied for hours.  The artists attempted to use only cards with Yankees but some of the colors required using other teams.  Rest assured, no Boston cards where used on the work.Several photos have been used to assist you in getting a feel for the piece but I admit it is impossible to capture the true grandeur and size of the art through pictures.  This is the only piece that we know of showing the entire baseball history of Yankee Stadium using the method. I don’t think Baseballcardstories will attempt another stadium of this size again. There is only one Yankee Stadium. This will be a great conversation piece in any setting. The studio has dreams that the piece will be donated to a gallery or sports museum that showcase and share the memories but that is up to the buyer. Baseballcardstories is giving a portion of the proceeds to baseball programs that assist underprivileged and disadvantaged youths.Baseballcardstories is also offering the framing and shipping in the continental U.S.A. at no additional charge.
