I just got back from my LCS with this 1957 Larry Dobie. I know exactly who might want this. Hello Nina. Hey it's Scott at Ranger Studios. How's it going on the other side of Ohio? Yeah. Okay. Hey I was at my LCS triple play vintage and beautiful Chaioga Falls. And I found a pretty sweet 1957 Larry Dobie. You interested? Yeah I usually offer silly junk wax. But it's Larry Dobie. Larry's the man. Yeah okay. I'll cut to the chase. How about $75? Yeah he's in a white socks uniform. I know that's not right. Okay $75 and I will throw in an ink wash of Larry in an Indian's uniform. Alright you got it Nina. Alright thanks. Hey super stars welcome back to the quest for my home. Holy grail card. This is my series where I'm trying to sell off worthless cards for exorbitant amounts of money so that I can eventually buy my grail card AT206 Cyan portrait. But to make it work I'm including some original art. Now you might have noticed that I said I was going to do an ink wash. Well plans kind of changed. Nina asked and I agreed on that. But Nina had a very challenging year and she's such a great person so I wanted to do something extra special for her. So for Christmas I did this full color painting and I didn't charge her. This journey is not all about me. You guys and girls have had my back on this and I wanted to let Nina know that I have her back too. So now I just need to see if I remember how to paint. Before I get into Larry I want to encourage all of you to go check out Nina's channel. Not only is she cool because she's a guardian slash Indians fan like me but she is all about the stories and connections. She loves the history like I do. She's got a great great collection and she does a fantastic job sharing her stories. And her favorite player is Larry Dobby. You probably know Larry is one of my favorites too so I've been really looking forward to this project. You probably also know Larry was the second African American to play major league baseball. Jackie paved the way for sure but Larry did not have it any easier. You know what though the tone of this video has been pretty serious so far and I should lighten things up. I will say that I really really appreciate what Larry and Jackie did for baseball. They definitely made it a better game and I really appreciate Nina so I wanted to give her something to smile about. I would love to do some more paintings this year. Of course I'm very moody so one day I want to do paintings like this the next I want to do a silly marker doodle and the next I want to do a messy charcoal drawing. Personally I feel like I'm pretty good at a lot of different stuff but not super super great at any one thing. It is my gift and it is my curse. But as a group you my loyal viewers and friends don't seem to prefer any one style over another and I dig that so thank you. Hey you know what it is time for a terrible joke speaking of drawing and painting I remember when I was a kid my grandma used to draw her eyebrows on. One day I told her that I thought she'd do them on too high. She seemed surprised. There is Mr. Dobie I love how this one came out and it was kind of hard to give this one up.
