Following up the success of the Fiorentino Collection, James was again asked by Upper Deck in 2003 to paint for the PlayBall set. James ’s latest series of cards was painted for the Kelloggs brand in which the cards were autographed by legendary players depicting every major sport. The cards were found in many of their products.
