Need help/feedback with a custom autograph piece

Ok need some advise
I have reached out and received back signatures of 3 out of the 4 Umps that were on duty the day Gary Carter got his first hit.

John Kibler, Terry Tata and Dutch Rennert responded

Shag Crawford passed away a few years ago

I was able to obtain a index card of Mr. Crawford and would like to add it to the piece below but not sure on how to go about it.

Should I cut the index card and affix it to the top or should I cut a hole through the combo piece and affix from below

What type of glue/tape should I use and is there any out there that I should stay away from.

Whould love some feedback
Thanks
Mike

    I would cut a hole through the combo piece. Awesome custom by the way. Maybe have knuckles do it.

    Always looking to try something different --- Umps are part of the game and should be recognized when possible --- for those who do not know John Kibler was the 1st base ump during game 6 of the 1986 World Series --- some nice items around with Wilson, Buckner and Kibler

  • I think I would try cutting. Or possibly better yet, cut all four and make a new card.

    Thats a good thought --- I am worried though about what to use to affix it --- I don't want anything seeping or discoloring it over time

    have you considered putting the cut signatures where the umps would stand on the field of play?
