Anybody ever tell you the story of Teddy Wrecks? No? Well he was the first, and as far as I know the only, dinosaur to play baseball. He had dreams of playing in the big leagues, but sadly failed to make the cut and wound up playing single A ball for most of his career. Or so I'm told. I got this old card of his and had to piece together what little information there is on him from fifth, sixth, and seventh hand stories, so there's no saying how reliable they are. None of the stories really match up with one another, but the weird part is that they all end the same. Apparently back in June of '56 he just vanished. Nobody knows the where's, why's, and what's about it, but that's the end of the story as far as anyone knows...
Here'a another card I just found. It's not as in good of shape as the first, and the color's a little off, but I thought I'd share it in case anyone wanted to see.

Like the folds in the card...good color scheme and simple but solid character design.
Hahah, nice back story...
I like it too, very nice fuzzy quality & colors. It does have the look of bygone photos...
Man, I loved dino-league baseball. It's a shame it went extinct.
I like your character, especially the flow of the jersey's stripes. The folds and distress on the second card are really nice.
This is such a great style; classic baseball feel with new media. Nice work.
Looks great Joey! How did you do it? It is OK if the answer is a secret.
