Question about custom cards.

Livi "in action"

Hey Mike, that is pretty good. I have been looking all over the web to find templates like you have been using. Found this website
http://www.mytradingcards.com/default.aspx
I created a 07 Topps and it looks real good, at least I think so. Then I will have to order cards. The great thing about them is they print the front and back of the cards. If you go to the website look at My PortFilio_11/4/2011

I've been using "real" cards Gary. Just photoshopping them and inserting Livi's photos and info. Takea a little time on some. Finding similar fonts takes the longest time.

How about Livi "Koufax"?:

Hey I think that's my new favorite....I have never done any photo shopping either, I have led a sheltered life ....I have to go into the big city this weekend. The local card shop and officemax I will pickup some paper then.

Let me know which ones you like. I will "clean them up" and send jpeg's to your email address. This way you will get the "cleanest" version and not lose any integrity (pixels).

I think the '55, '63 and the 08 upper Deck Heroes. Did you want one of the signed cards? If so just LMK which 1 or 2 or....
You sure do deserve them as much work as you have put in this little project.

i'm working on the topps 1955 either! so i like this!

I'll work on cleaning those 3 up. I would absolutely love to have one autographed. Tough choice but I really like the colors of the 2008 so I guess I'll go with that one. I did the '55 at work today and left the artwork on that computer. It won't take long to redo. I'll send them via email as i get them completed. Mike

Now that I go back and look, I like the 1964 one better and think it would look great autographed.

I have talked to Livi quite a bit and I believe he will sign whatever we want. He is kinda excited to get some cards.

 

[livi11]

right!

u're right Gary, i'll sign all cards do you send 1 of 1000!

I re-did the 1955:

I'l email this to you Gary...

edit- Gary, would you send your email address to me. You can email me through "The Bench". Yours is blocked.

Gary-Do you still need/want me to do any? You and Livi obviously have a nice collection to choose from. One of the templates that I use is the 1959 Topps template that I did up. Just let me know an email address and I can get it to you. Livi, same goes for you. Just let me know an email address that I can send it to or a mailing address that I send printed photos.

I like the '59 design. Please send it to

I don't have the 84 Topps Frank Robinson you are looking for but I have a buddy here locally that has some 84s and he is checking to see if he has it.
Thanks,
Gary

Well I printed my first custom cards today. Thanks to DMBfan for sending me the prototype. Although these are not exactly what I had planned on I consider it a success. I made some mistakes just like Topps does. I printed the front first and got "production lines" on them. Also the edges are not true as I cut them freehand, I need a paper cutting machine. ANY ADVICE from the custom making veterns is welcome.

 

[bonzomoretti]

Gary, I missed the post with your email. Do you still want those prototypes? I can email tonight. Mike

Mike,
That would be great. Email is [email protected]

I finally got some paper and got back to work on them this morning.

Thanks,
Gary

I'm glad that I could help out. I hope that both you enjoy them.
