This brings back so many memories. Most of all being a little p-od at my mom for throwing away the two shoe boxes full I had of them to make room for my sisters barbie dolls. DOOOOHHHH.

Love the shot. I also really like your choice to go with a sepia over black and white here. Almost as if everything were dusted with dirt off the mound.

Thanks! This is the first time I've done "my own" sepia. I've used a preset before but I didn't like it on this one, so I desat'd everything and brought the yellows and oranges back up a bit.

You're right. So many great games have been neglected in favour of various screen games. 
Happy shooting,

thanks! I wanted the focus to be the cards, but just a stack of cards seemed too boring

Keith Hernadez, Pete Rose as a Phillie (yuck), Steve Carlton, George Foster and maybe Tom Seaver?

I agree with the others. Well done and the coloring brings it together nicely.
