The latest SignatureCuts

Knuckles

Besides my on going work for Sean which he shares, here are the others that I've done in the last while that the board hasn't seen yet..
















My first cut done from an actual baseball.. a major pain but it worked out..



This one took quite awhile... It felt like I was making my very first card again.



Thanks for looking,

rube26105

p.s. terry sawchuck is scary looking

neenish

Those are WAAAAYYYY better than what UD, Topps, etc., puts out. They should hire you to do all of the 1/1's. Have you shown any of the major companies any of your work?

Bosox1976

Love the Cyclone and the Mantle Snider

rube26105

Have MLB trademarks ever been an issue?

Awesome work, Knucks, as usual. Keep it up.

Knuckles

Thanks guys.

Yeah Sawchuk did look pretty frightening with or without the mask.. picture him with one of your guns! Getting close to a hundred cards for Sean's collection of hockey hall of famers.

Have MLB trademarks ever been an issue? Nope, I think maybe because they're all one of a kind 'works of art'.. so I frame my autographs within a 2.5x3.5 frame compared to a frame with a phtograph.. eh.. I know some guys on the Beckett boards started doing their own 'cards' and they got letters to stop.

Is Herbie Lewis the father or grandfather of Pee Wee Herman?

Bill Durnon looks like the Ex-Lax is kicking in.

Wonderful work, Garret - especially the Snider/Mantle. Thanks for sharing your latest projects!

Incredible stuff, I never get tired of seeing your new masterpieces. JUST AWESOME!!!

MajorDanby

you've really gone the extra mile on these cards. if i ever need a cut signature, i'll call on you.

nightcrawler

Outstanding, always great to see your work.



I wanted to ask you if you've ever seen, or come across a Vezna auto?

I've been searching for his stuff for years and haven't ever seen one.

lawnmowermanswife

The one with the baseball is awsome! I like the style of the Ruth one too. You do great work on these!

bman90278

Those are awesome cards. My favorite has got to be the Mantle / Snider card and the Gehrig.

ssdawg77

Absolutely amazing. Those must take an extreme amount of patience to create.

Knuckles

Thanks very much everyone, the Ruth was aggravating. I couldn't cut it as I normally would by following the shape of the autograph as it just didn't look good at all. Cutting the arch by hand let around cutting alone his pinky finger was difficult (not sure what I was thinking when designing it) but it turned out.



<< <i>I wanted to ask you if you've ever seen, or come across a Vezna auto? >>

I never have, to my knowledge he was illiterate for the majority of his life and only started being able to read/write before tuberculosis got him. If one ever does pop up I'm not sure how a person would be able to tell if it's really his autograph or not unless signed on some sort of official document.

edited to fix a spelling error.

very cool - I really like the Mantle and the Ruth cards... for some reason I really don't like the jagged edge cuts around the signatures on the other cards (just my opinion)

I just wanted to say thanks to Garret for all the hard work he has done on my football collection. I've shown these to a few people, but here are all the great cards Garret has made for me.

Knuckles

Thanks Reese, and you're very welcome. It's great to see them slabbed up and on the registry.

It's amazing stuff.

The Ted Williams autograph is signed on a golden metal plate.. a first for me.

That Ted is stunning, Garret. They all are, really. Great work as always - thanks for sharing.

Knuckles

There's of course a ton for Sean's incredible collection as well which he posts but I've got to post one of the notation cards again.

The notation is on that back the index card that the autograph is on within the card. I was able to keep it whole within the card to not only display the autograph but the significant notation on the back as well.

March 19, 1919 was the date of game one of the 1919 Stanley Cup Finals between the Montreal Canadiens and the Seattle Metropolitans. Seattle crushed Montreal in this game 7-0. The series was interrupted and eventually canceled due to an outbreak of Spanish influenza. Almost all of the players contracted the flu during the series and a number required hospitalization. As a result, no official winner was declared in 1919... the first and only time until the lockout happened. Everyone recovered except for Joe Hall who contracted pneumonia as a result of the flu and died in a Seattle hospital on April 5, 1919.

Here's a front/back photo of the Malone.

The Ruth looks great in a slab - Once again spectacular work!

Garret,

They are AMAZING works of art. You are very talented to be able to make such great cards. Thanks for getting back to me regarding making some of these cards for me ... if I get the autos together I will be contacting you.

Stay Healthy!

Doug

BunchOBull

You're good.

lawnmowermanswife

The Mantle and Williams are my favorite. Very nice!

HockeyAutoCollector

Garret, thanks for all the great work on the ones you just finished! I cannot wait to get them back from PSA/DNA. Can't wait to start the next set of cards as well. Once they get back from PSA, I will probably post the other two notation cards completed with this shipment.

Elemenopeo

Outstanding as usual.

StanTheManMusial

As always, very nice work, knuckles.

Knuckles

Thanks guys.

MBMiller25

That is great stuff, What a gift that is to be able to create those beauties!

christopherking1

Those are so much better than what the major card companies produce, there is no comparison.

Beezer12

The Dryden and Harvey are in my collection and actually look better up close than in the scans. Superior to anything the card companies have ever produced. Still working on your Plantes by the way

Knuckles

Appreciate the words, it makes it all the more rewarding.

Nice to see you on here Brent, I'm really looking forward to the Plante McFarlane customs, I have a new display case all ready to go for them.

Edit: just noticed your Italian flag avatar.. where the heck can I get good Italian food here in Kamloops? I've yet to find a good place and it's one of the things I miss most from moving away from Edmonton.

Those are, without a doubt, pieces of art Knuckles. Nothing else to say.

brianwintersfan

The thing I love is that you can actually see and read the entire auto. Unlike the card company's who make a cookie cutter card, and cram whatever size piece of paper they have into that area. Hey who cares if part of the first or last name gets cut off.

mickeymantle24

They are amazing, I love the Mantle and Snider. The Ruth is awesome!

Dboneesq

Bump for all to see

Thanks



<< <i>Are all your windows hand cut? >>

Yes, they're all hand cut.



<< <i>terry sawchuck-inspiration for the friday the 13th movies-hes got a sinister lookin mask!!!!!!!! >>

No dount Rube, a huge part of Sawchuk's mystique. I actually have a replica of his mask on one of the walls here.



<< <i>Nice result on the Ruth autograph in Mastro's latest auction: >>

Thanks Steve, that Ruth couldn't have turned out better. If anyone is interested I happen to have the Mickey Mantle baseball signature cut ending today on eBay.
