It has been a while since I've posted a custom, and I thought some folks may get a kick out of this so I figured I'd post it!
From the charity auction ...
The cut dreadlock
The pieces ...
Front...
...and back! (With embedded MLB authenticated hologram)
Hopefully McCutchen will sign on the acetate just under the dreadlock, which will finish the project off quite nicely!
Creepy? Cool? Maybe a little of both, but I enjoyed the heck out of putting this one together

UPDATE: The new holder came in so I thought I'd show it off

That's wild stuff. Reminds me of a Tarantula.
Did that come form the police station evidence room ?
I have to know - how much did the dreadlock cost?
Good question! I wasn't the one who bought it.
Ah! This is a commission for someone else? I like the watermark effect you added.
I was a pretty big McCutchen collector when he was with the Pirates. I was going to buy one of his dreads when he cut them off during spring training in 2015. I thought it was a little creepy so I decided not to, but they sold for over $150 a lock.
Btw did you make multiple cards or are you sending the rest that wasn’t used back to the owner?
I ran the gamut on that one also Tanner.
The production of the card as such shows great skill - very well done buddy.
That's kinda gross.
Yessir! Thanks
Nope just this one though it sounds like he may want another different card or 2.
Thank you very much Mike!
Creepy
Disgusting actually
For everyone who said kind words - thank you so much!
For everyone else - y'all can kiss my butt.
LOL - just kidding 100%. I KNOW this is not everyone's thing, and fully expect some people to think it is gross. I'm good with that, everyone has their own ways of collecting
@perkdog - I keep running into your question on my phone, but can't seem to figure out how to respond on the computer...partially because this newborn is splitting up my time drastically. If you still need something, can you pm me?
I appreciate you reaching out but I am all set at this point, thank you though 🍻
All good! I'm sorry I couldn't have reached out sooner to you, but am glad you wrote here so I could at least let you know I wasn't ignoring you. Glad you are taken care of and wish you the best in your new project!
Thank You very much! Regardless on how I feel about McCutchens hair I wish you the very best with your card getting signed and continued success 👍🍻
With all that hair, we could start creating an army of Cutch clones. LOL

That did turn out pretty good looking after all the silly comments.
