Overview
At Love of the Game Auctions I started as the Imaging Specialist/Junior Graphic Designer. I do product photography, manage social media accounts, social media animations, and other advertisements. This is the branding for the Summer 2026 Premier Auction where we sold the most famous baseball card in the card collecting hobby; a T206 Honus Wagner.
The Challenge
This was our most important auction yet; due to the fact that Lot #1 in the auction was a million dollar baseball card. The branding needed to speak to all collectors, but keep our vintage feel.
The Solution
The T206 Wagner was created in 1909, so I tried to echo that in the branding. The type is inspired by the typography on the back of the T206 card.
The Impact
We have doubled our followers and our reels organically generate thousands of views. My video on the Wagner card generated the most
The famous Restored Die-cut T206 Honus Wagner
For our Fall 2026 Auction, we are selling our first T206 Wagner; one of the most iconic baseball cards in history. I photographed the Wagner for our auction website as well as the image on the cover. Even competitors have complimented our marketing of this famous card.
I can now say have photographed something worth over a million dollars, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

This animation was made in Adobe After Effects. As a play on the Spotify wrapped; I did a 2024 Wrapped for our company auctions. It was a fun look back on the year and what we accomplished as well as a fun and playful animation.
