The Baseball Card Blog welcomes a new contributor: Travis from PunkRockPaint

Dear Gentle Reader,

We are excited to announce that Travis from Punk Rock Paint will be joining Ben and Mike as a regular contributor to The Baseball Card Blog.

In our estimation, Travis' creative design sensibility and skill are unparalleled in the realm of baseball card art, with his stellar custom graphics for Big Lebowski, Lost, and Star Wars sets, among others, as testaments to this fact.

But what really sets his work apart is his sense of history and appreciation not just for the history of the game of baseball but also for the art, design, and printing standards throughout the history of trading card production.

If you are unfamiliar with Travis' artwork, definitely check out his personal blog (linked above).

Please join us in welcoming Travis to The Baseball Card Blog!

The Baseball Card Blog welcomes a new writer: Mike Kenny

Dear Gentle Reader,

Please put your hands together for Mike Kenny, who is joining the unpaid staff here at The Baseball Card Blog (ie, me) as a contributing writer. If you're unfamiliar with Mike's baseball-card-related writing, don't worry. Check his own blog out here: So...do you like stuff?

Not to build him up too much, but Mike's ability to mix non sequitur observation, bombastic shit he's made up, and actual anecdotes allows him to accurately pinpoint where a card goes from normal to ridiculous time and time again. It makes for a fantastic read.

Please welcome him aboard.
