Custom Card Question

First hello all I'm new to the forum, thanks for approving me. 😃
My question is I recently got a custom made baseball card. It is 1976 style and has a rookie trophy in the bottom right which says BOBB's All-Star Rookie. What does the BOBB stand for? I can't find this explained anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like a card that was made by a member of our site here named Bob Lemke before he passed away. Making customs was something Bob enjoyed doing, and they always turned out very well.
Edited to add: Does the copyright say B.C.C. printed in the USA? He would use that as a copyright on his customs.
I didn't notice this before but it says BOBBS Chewing Gum Inc. PTD USA
Not sure if that's what you are saying but it does say that.
Yes he would put BOBBS (using two Bs like Topps used the 2 Ps) in place of Topps, and also B.C.C. (Bob's custom cards) on some cards like Topps' would use T.C.G..
Edited to add: If you do a search for the member AUPT (Bob's handle here) you can see some of his custom works, although most are no longer visible because of photobucket.
I see sounds like that's probably him.
Thanks for the quick reply.
You can also still see his blog at http://boblemke.blogspot.com/
He posted most, if not all of his custom cards on it.
