STEPH's BASEBALL MUSEUM

Below are some links to several baseball paintings and other memorabilia, listed alphabetically by author/title. For your information, i'm no collector and would never invest any money in sports collectibles. But those depicted here seemed interesting to me though not exactly my favorite. I just scanned them from various magazines, books and postcards. Enjoy
