GOLDEN ROOKIE – Anthony Volpe Custom Rookie Art Card 1 of 1
I am a huge fan of Philmington's Rookie Card Explosion Box subscription, which arrives every month with 6 to 10 assorted packs from modern baseball sets that feature key rookie cards. This month, I happened to open my subscription box and pull an Anthony Volpe rookie card on the same day that it was announced he would be the first Yankee ever to win a Gold Glove. This gave me the inspiration to start playing around with enveloping Anthony in gold somehow, which led to the evolution of the gold strips in both horizontal and vertical directions, hopefully emphasizing the depth of the piece more than creating a feeling of him being behind bars :) This hand-made, one-of-one, custom trading card is composed from: 2023 Topps #460 Anthony Volpe rookie card 1990 Action Packed football cards, various (gold strips) 2013 Bowman Chrome Prospects #BCP36 Jose Peraza Blue Refractor (Bowman Chrome logo, SS position logo) 2022 Bowman Rookie of the Year Favorites #ROYF-4 Vidal Brujan (RC logo) 1993
