Yeah.

That was the cover of one of the team’s cards from a few years back. I liked it, so I scanned it and posted it here.

My wife got me a card like that for my birthday.

Different painting, but same style. It must be the same artist.

You can't tell from the photos but

the inside of the card is a pop-up of the scoreboard.

I got one too.

Hopefully the Groot guys will enjoy it.
