🚨Breaking News🚨The booth at the 44th National was the place to be during the five (5) day show at the this past week in Cleveland.

Early Thursday morning from , the very popular New Day Cleveland TV morning show stopped by Murray’s booth fascinated and wanting to learn more about the beautiful hand painted artwork being displayed. Thanks for the live shots back to the studio Kenny!

Murray was just happening to be painting live a Jim Brown piece in his booth.

Then James Fiorentino brought over a Cal Ripken Jr. piece both Murray and he worked on together. See photo, just amazing!

Then Andy Friedman stopped by and was amazed by their collaboration. See photo.

Witnessing all this Ray Schulte NSCC Director of Communications asked if all three (3) could and would collaborate on painting a piece all would agree on. Without hesitation all three (3) agreed. See handshake to confirmation!

It’s an All-Star team collaborating. Can’t wait to see the finished product ! Only at The National!

Thanks Kenny and your Fox 8 team for stopping by!

📸 L-R James Fiorentino, Andy Friedman, Ray Schulte and Murray Henderson - three out of the four highly accomplished, respected artist.

What a wild 20 minutes at The National today. Decided to snag a Nationals Silver Pack, with picking out the pack since she has been on a huge hot streak. John insists on selling it to me for $25, even giving me back extra money I added. Rip pack? Bam..Wemby Cracked Ice /25. Cool card but I don’t dabble in boy cards anymore. Consider putting it on auction and start walking to get better lighting for photo. Decide to stop by and ask Sharon at for advice since she is a hobby GOAT and great person. Guess who wants the card? Yup, it is really cool BUT WHAT IS COOLER IS THE 2017 Rittenhouse Kelsey Plum RC Auto PSA 10 I need for my collection. Be still my beating heart.

I may have consensually hugged a random dude looking through cards at her booth.

So from my buddy giving me a stupid deal on pack, to my friend choosing the one with Wemby, and then another hobby friend offering me a deal too amazing to believe - this is the story really not about two cards but about a whole group of people participating in a great memory. The cardboard is the reason, but it’s not purpose. Thanks for a great reminder that we are all cheering each other on!
