As a hobby I like making virtual card creations, players you'de never see in a set, 60' Rose,54 Brady....etc
please add to this thread any card creations you may have. I have made a ton of these, here are a few samples.

Very cool!

goraiders · August 21, 2008 5:38AM

Very cool,anymore?

bsidegrve · August 21, 2008 5:44AM

What set, what player do you want? most times they don't take very long to make.

perkdog · August 21, 2008 5:52AM

SEEET looking stuff! My Friend Bob ( Aupt ) made these custom cards!

Davemri · August 21, 2008 5:52AM

Very Cool.. I've seen several people post some "homemade" baseball, but not much football. I would love to see some more.

How about a 67 topps and/or philadelphia Gene Upshaw since he just passed away. His 72 card (rookie) is actually several years after his rookie season.

I wonder why Bronco didn't have a card in the 55 AA set??

AUPT · August 21, 2008 6:07AM

I've made more than 100 football creations, and about a dozen baseball. I always do front and back, and print them into actual cards.

That Stengel is awesome.

tugboat2648 · August 21, 2008 6:23AM

<< How about a 1952 Topps Eddie Gaedel? >>

Shortest player ever?

Tedw9 · August 21, 2008 7:33AM

First, let me say those are incredible!

I would like to know what computer program you are using to create them. I would love to give it a shot myself.

AUPT · August 21, 2008 7:33AM

Mark, you are doing some great work!

Here's my 1956-style.

That's correct.

mosaic · August 21, 2008 7:53AM

Wow... and all I ever wanted to know was how to put myself on an Allen & Ginter card.... you guys are churning out pro quality stuff!

EAsports · August 21, 2008 10:30AM

For those that print them.... What do you print them on?

lsutigers1973 · August 21, 2008 10:37AM

This is the back of my sons 1963 Topps baseball card made by a board member. The front is just as cool but for some reason I can not find it on my computer.

Edit: Found the front. This is his homerun pose:

BobaFett72 · August 21, 2008 10:52AM

Here are a couple of fantasy cards I made for some collectors:

Printing custom cards . . .
I print seperate 6- or 8-card "sheets" of fronts and backs on full-page label paper, stick them on a cardboard magazine backer board and cut into singles. It's quite labor intensive, but there's nothing like the feeling of fondling a card you made yourself.

gemmintrarities · August 22, 2008 1:55AM

Great stuff guys, here is a link to some more cool ones:

thekid8 · August 22, 2008 2:11AM

Always wished there was a 74 Carter

bsidegrve · August 24, 2008 11:00AM

Love all the cards shown guys! Aupt those cards you made for perkdog are great! That Staubach is just sick!!!! Some of the hardest ones to try and make are the Bowmans and the Leafs, here is my try at a few 48' Leafs.

HeritageAddict · August 24, 2008 11:22AM

I normally do cut auto cards, but here are a couple regular cards that I've made for board members.

Oh, and the Rube card pictured at the top of this page.

TJMAC · August 24, 2008 11:32AM

Nice looking Rice, but it looks like a PSA 5. The corners are rough.

HobbyKings · August 24, 2008 3:10PM

bsidegrve · August 24, 2008 4:02PM

Heritage great job on that Brady!

yankeeno7 · August 24, 2008 8:02PM

I have never heard of this player before

billwaltonsbeard · August 24, 2008 10:36PM

That's a very nice Alan Ashby. But it just looks like a regular base set card. You could have made it a Star Die Cut or Pirahna crotch biting parallel
