1915 Cracker Jack Walter Johnson cut card artwork

[jammin0511]

I just finished a fun and challenging project that I want to share with the forum. It measures 21" x 28" and is made entirely from cut up baseball cards.
When I started this project, I wasn't entirely sure what to use for the red background as none of my "go-to" sets seemed to quite match. Luckily, I was browsing eBay listings one evening and I stumbled across an unexpected solution: 1983 Donruss Action All-Stars! Not only do these cards offer a suitable red color on the backs, but they are also jumbo-sized, so the red areas are relatively large. Despite having this size advantage, I still used nearly three complete 60-card sets to fill in the massive red background of this piece.
Here are some other sets that were useful for the build:
1992 Pinnacle, 1989 Bowman, 1991 Bowman, 1987 Topps, 2019 Topps, and various late '80s/early '90s Donruss (specifically 1991 series II for the large light green area
