Okay, well not really. With a month and a half until A&G, and my 2007 Heritage set done I am ready for next year. I know there are a lot of New York players, but nam812 was helping with the player selection.

nam812 · June 17, 2007 10:21AM

All I did was pick out a few pictures, Heritage Addict is the true master, and Topps would be lucky to have some of these cards in next years Heritage set.

perkdog · June 17, 2007 10:24AM

I am lost..

How did you guys make those cards???

HeritageAddict · June 17, 2007 10:27AM

Perkdog, I was just a little bored today and started playing around with photoshop instead of sorting cards like I should have been doing.

Very nice! I WILL learn how to photo shop someday.......... I hope!

MuckyMutt · June 17, 2007 10:41AM

WOW!!!!

Those are fantastic! I WANT them!!!!!!

Is there any chance at all that Topps can do near as well next year?

zep33 · June 17, 2007 10:59AM

Very nice!

HeritageAddict · June 17, 2007 12:21PM

Oh, I almost forgot this one, it's for all you Bonds fans.

Estil · June 17, 2007 2:36PM

Can you do some 1971 and 1975 Heritage?

nam812 · June 17, 2007 8:55PM

Estil, those would actually be 2020 and 2024 Heritage respectively.

perkdog · June 17, 2007 9:14PM

I love the Bonds card!

tiller · June 17, 2007 9:34PM

Wow! You guys are the best! I hope there half as good. Almost looking forward to Feb.

nam812 · June 17, 2007 10:04PM

They are pretty cool, but Heritage Addict did all the work, I just emailed him a few pictures that I thought would make good card photos.

kcballboy · June 17, 2007 10:40PM

LOL on the position listing for the Bonds card.

HeritageAddict · June 17, 2007 11:58PM

Okay, one more and then I've got to quit playing and do some work.

Estil · June 18, 2007 12:05AM

Whatever, I still want to see them.

Wait a second *notices years*, you mean I'm going to have to wait until I'm 44 to see the 1975 Topps set done Heritage style!? I can't wait that long! I'm gonna pout...

*pouts in the corner*

Mrcardsniper · June 18, 2007 12:16AM

What's up with Bonds...He looks alittle green. Maybe it was a bad lime in his drink's last night. I love the pic's though...

gameusedhoop · June 18, 2007 12:17AM

Yeah, but if you get started soon your son (or by that time maybe your daughter) could be in the set as the new "HOT" rookie!

gameusedhoop · June 18, 2007 12:20AM

HeritageAddict, you may want to watermark that Mantle, before it ends up on ebay as a scam 1/1 cut. You may want to CYA just in case. I could see it going for $2000+.

nam812 · June 18, 2007 4:10AM

Watermarking wont matter. I saw a guy selling a 1968 Mantle that had 707sportscards watermark on it. He cropped the photo so it didnt look like it was in a graded holder, but the watermark was still visible.

TNTonPMS · June 18, 2007 6:23AM

How did you do that ?
That right there is off the chart !

HeritageAddict · June 18, 2007 7:35AM

Okay so I played a little more today, I couldn't get the Bonds to look quite like the original thrills cards, but it's pretty close.

perkdog · June 18, 2007 8:03AM

HeritageAddict, You are the MAN! Did you miss your calling in life? LOL Looks to me like you should be designing cards! Again GREAT JOB!

perkdog · June 18, 2007 8:05AM

I WANT that Bonds Thrills card! Any chance you could email me that pic? cb3302fan@aol.com

If you can I would huge appreaciate it!

Bunker · June 18, 2007 8:16AM

Wow! Those are incredible!

perkdog · June 18, 2007 9:40AM

Thanks!!!!

elsnorto · June 18, 2007 2:00PM

Just another chiming in to say those are absolutely amazing! We may have the start of another Broder revolution in the making here folks. It amazes me what some people can do with PhotoShop and similar programs.

Snorto~

Basilone · June 18, 2007 3:34PM

Great Job Heritage Addict !!

nam812 · June 18, 2007 4:34PM

I thought I would take a crack at one, but please do not judge me by the incredibly high standards that Heritage Addict has set.

Estil · June 18, 2007 5:24PM

No wonder these Heritage sets are so popular!

perkdog · June 18, 2007 5:37PM

Tell ya what, Heritageaddict has got me salivating over next years heritage. I have not attempted a set but I believe I will when they come out again..

perkdog · June 18, 2007 5:38PM

And I might add a few '59 Topps cards to my collection as well....

nam812 · June 18, 2007 11:19PM

I'm still not as good as the master, but im happy with my additions.

nam812 · June 19, 2007 2:00AM

That's just Manny being Manny.

That's ONLY if they don't discontinue the product.

I thought their archives/fan favorites were GREAT and was really looking forward to rookie reprints of ripken, piazza, rickey, mcgwire and a few others!! Why the HECK did they quit making archives/fan favorites?!! Must not have been profitable as band-aid stickers.

Some may laugh at your SELIG card, but I was actually thinking I would like a card of his...he really is a part of baseball history. Is there any such thing as a selig auto card?

HeritageAddict · June 19, 2007 12:48PM

Well, I have bee trying to keep myself from running around buying cards until after my A&G cases get here at the end of next month so I decided I would start with card #1 and work my way through the set, I tried to keep the borders/teams/positions the same as the 59 set. So here is installment #1.

nam812 · June 19, 2007 1:08PM

Thats quite a task you're undertaking Heritage Addict. Your screen name sure does fit you.

I will just keep dropping my creations in here one at a time as I make them.

nam812 · June 19, 2007 2:07PM

Oooops. Getting a little ahead of myself.

Estil · June 19, 2007 6:33PM

<< That's ONLY if they don't discontinue the product. >>

I doubt that very seriously. Topps has found their golden goose. Now they just need to not do anything stupid that'll get the goose killed like in the story. Cuz like I said, I want to see 1971 and 1975 done Heritage style someday!

nam812 · June 19, 2007 9:26PM

Estil, hopefully this will get you to stop whining for a while.

nam812 · June 20, 2007 12:35AM

Another one for Estil.

nam812 · June 20, 2007 5:45PM

All that work, and not even a thank you from Estil?

Estil · June 21, 2007 12:42AM

Well, you have to give me time to notice it first silly

I mean, I can't visit EVERY thread EVERY time I visit. But seriously, thank you so much. Now I just have to wait patiently for 2024 for the set proper to come out.

I especially like the Jorge Pasada (no doubt inspired by the classic horizontal 1971 Thruman Munson card).

HeritageAddict · June 22, 2007 5:09AM

I know I've been slacking did the first nine and nothing since, I'll try to do the next 9 this weekend, but until then I thought I would try my hand at an insert.

perkdog · June 22, 2007 6:11AM

Good stuff guys!

kcballboy · June 22, 2007 6:14AM

Let's see if this thread gets bigger than the 07 thread before the 08 is even released.

perkdog · June 22, 2007 6:54AM

<< Let's see if this thread gets bigger than the 07 thread before the 08 is even released. >>

I think it will happen, these guys deserve it!
