The first batch of hand-painted “Art of the Ages” cards came into Upper Deck headquarters today and they literally had seasoned trading card staff members blown-away. Recreating famous works of art has been done for centuries, but doing it, by hand, on a 2.5” x 3.5” canvas is truly amazing. Especially with regard to the attention for detail the artist had in capturing so many amazing aspects of the original paintings. Look at one of the originals to the 2018 Goodwin Champions “Art of the Ages” cards:
