Expanded baseball cards

This was something I had done for a few cards for a previous post. One commenter mentioned that I should turn it into a series, and I had been considering that myself. If you'd like to see this as a series, let me know in the comments. If I don't get much response, I'll get the message and won't make it a series.

Basically, it's a new way to look at certain cards of which I have many copies. Sometimes the cropping or background are just right that aligning the cards in a certain way gives a 3-D effect, or appears to widen the view, or just otherwise makes an interesting change to the photograph.

Starting with some cards from 1988 Topps, partially because the design has gotten alot of love lately with the 2023 release, and partly because I happened to have my box of cards from this set easily at hand.

I've had this card for 35 years but never noticed the background before. Is that a candy bar, maybe Butterfinger?

Extra-long bat.

Extremely long bat.

Not as long a bat, but I really like this photo of Carter.

Another big star at the time.

Toronto dugout.

Long green dugout (spring training?)

I love the cropping of this photo, you don't get wide shots like these anymore. Had to do something with it.

Lots of empty seats.

Different kind of 3D effect.

Four trees.
