Mike, been good.. a lot going on. I'm in partnership with my wife and a good friend in doing a large sports collectibles show in Edmonton - The Summit Sports Collectibles Show My wife is 9 months pregnant with our very first and I've been keeping up with the SignatureCut card orders and web/graphic design work. Busy, busy. Hope all is well with you, glad to see you.
Knuckles- I just found this thread (Can't believe I've missed it this long These cards are awesome. I can't believe none of the card companies haven't approached you to do some work for them. Absolutely amazing creations
Thanks. $100 is the fee + $10 for express shipping the card(s) to the owner. Payment can be made by PayPal once I receive the autographs or by an enclosed USPS international (pink) money order. (I live in Canada)
As for the creation process, I take care of everything from picking unique photo's, the info used on the back etc. If there are specific things that you may wish to see incorporated, not a problem. Let me know what you want and I'll make it happen. When I'm finished the front design, I send a preview of it. If there's anything you don't like about it, I will make the changes necessary and even start over from scratch if need be until you're happy. When you are happy the backside will be carried out the same way.
It generally takes a week per card, give or take a couple days depending on how busy I currently am. For the last 3 months people have had to wait quite awhile longer due to my work load but I'm currently back up to speed.
Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Garret does amazing work. I love the 120+ that he has done for me thus far and can't wait to get some autographs up to Garret to see some more designs.
pdub1819: I make them for other collectors primarily, they send me their autographs to work with + $100 and shipping. More is charged if more than one autograph is going into a single card. Once in awhile I have time to make them for myself, the Horton and Sawchuck from a stick, as well as the two Ruth's, Gehrig and Mack are mine to consign somewhere soon here.
Here are those that had broken image icons above..
Not cuts, a collector just really wanted these players together on one card for their shared milestones.
Here's a super close up of how my cards measure up to a real card in thickness and in sharpness.. If anyone is curious about that.. LINK
Knuckles, could you provide some information on how you got the ball pieces flat and smooth? Particularly the full sweetspot signatures. I cut up a junk ball to play with and couldn't figure out how to do it. Thanks
Looking to have some custom cuts or plain custom cards built? PM me.
Soak the pieces from the ball in distilled water and sandwich them in-between paper towel within a book with a ton of other books on top for weight so it dries as flat as possible.

Mike, I create them in all sizes, I have done a few 'T3' sized cards so they could still be encapsulated by PSA for team signed sheets. Tall Boy sized cards for signatures too long for a standard sized card or for a couple within one. Here are some examples..
<< <i>The Bobby Orr autograph is not authentic in my opinion. >>
The Orr is authentic, not a doubt at all.. His autograph has evolved over the years and this is from the mid to late 80s. Take a look around at older signed items of his.
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
You're right, the Orr auto has changed over time. Thanks for the input.
Do you know if autos done in black sharpie on cardboard or 3x5's will fade over time if exposed to light ? It seems that many only want to sign in blue sharpie now.
<< <i>Do you know if autos done in black sharpie on cardboard or 3x5's will fade over time if exposed to light ? It seems that many only want to sign in blue sharpie now. >>
If exposed to sun light the black sharpie ink will eventually get this yellow outline around the signature and over time the autograph will fade to a browny red.. Not sure about blue.. You generally want to keep any collectible out of the sun light.

I agree, the Koufax is outstanding.

Superb stuff as usual!
BTW - that's one of the nicest Ruth 'cuts' I've ever seen.
Thanx for sharing

Apologies if some of these have been posted before.
This Orr has a real game ticket stub cut into it as well.
Another ticket stub/auto. I'm surprised card companies haven't done ticket stubs yet, it seems such an obvious thing to do.
Made 25 of these for a card show promoter..

Crap, bunch of broken images, I remove them and posted them on a different host below...

The Bobby Orr autograph is not authentic in my opinion.
Great work.
Does the finished product have to be standard trading card sized or could you do one with finished dimensions of like 8 x 10 or 5 x 7?
