This is a very unique and exciting piece of art! Our Topps micro-card mosaics measure around 50"x40" and are made up of approximately 1300 individual Topps Micro cards. The concept of the piece is similar to the old "magic eye" images. When you look at the mosaic up close, you can clearly see each player's card. But, when the mosaic is looked at from a distance, it clearly displays a well-known image of the Babe! Each Babe Ruth mosaic we offer represents the same image of the Babe; however, they are individually and uniquely crafted with different player cards, making each piece a single edition of its kind!
Each piece is signed by the artist, Richard Cronin, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from BRGoods Sports Memorabilia, the exclusive distributor of Babe Ruth Micro-card Mosaics.

Please note that each piece is custom developed and requires roughly 6 weeks for shipment.
Sean Gibson and Brent Stevens, the great-grandsons of Josh Gibson and Babe Ruth respectively, met in 2004 and instantly connected given the significance of their great-grandfathers in the home run and baseball world. Over time, they started sharing thoughts about the possible “what-ifs” had Josh and Babe had the chance to meet and interact together, since there is no known record of these two baseball greats having ever crossed paths in person. Those conversations led to this painting, by renowned artist Bill Purdom, which reflects a hypothetical interaction between these two home run superstars.
You can almost imagine Babe and young Josh (who was 16 years younger than Babe) meeting during a barnstorming game at Yankee Stadium. As depicted in this piece, Babe seems to be sharing some of his experiences with Josh, prior to the start of the game. As other players are warming up, Babe offers a few points about his game and hitting to the Negro League superstar. Just imagine the conversation and stories that these home runs great would share!
Two versions of the painting, “Josh & The Babe” – Legends of Their Leagues No. 1, are available: a limited edition, 18” x 24” giclee on superior, heavyweight satin canvas for $295/piece (strictly limited to 300 pieces); and, an open edition, 8” x 10” museum print on 200-year archival paper for $49.95. Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, as well as an article -- “The Story Behind Josh & The Babe” -- by Mr. Gibson and Mr. Stevens.
A portion of the profits from the sale of these prints will go to the Josh Gibson Foundation and the Babe Ruth League Scholarship Fund.
