csmtampa

Well since I started doing TTM's again, im gonna try to make custom cards to mail out and get signed. Let me know what you think. Here are few below.

VERY pretty cards, but I worry that a silver/white marker
will be needed for the autos, due to the dark fields.

Those are sharp. I made a few custom cards of that kid on the sports illustrated cover recently...it was a contest that I didn't win, but it was fun to do.

I think for the Rays players Im gonna do them IP. When I do other teams, im gonna try to make it lighter in color so a sharpie would show up. When I get them printed, i'll get a few extra to do some test runs. Thanks for the compliment!

Here are those Harpers...

The first was a concept from my head, that's why its not so hot...front and back (without H.S. stats)...





Here's a t206 styled card...front and back...

On the Kapler you should make the star into The Star of David.

I'm gonna try something different - just make a card with the players name and team on it and ask the player to draw himself on it instead of autographing it.

Great looking cards guys. If you mail out the darker cards you could always make a lighter box across them so the auto would show better, something like this.



Of course just because you provide a spot for the auto doesn't mean they will use it as you can see by my recent Tony LaRussa return.

If you get replies, that would be an amazing piece to own! I can't wait to see these happen.

I was looking at the Harper t206, modified it a bit to make it easier on the eyes...

It's a bit of a work in progress I guess, but I appreciate it.

I really like the font you're using on a lot of the cards. Whatever it is, it's got a nice flavor to it.

How do you plan to have your cards printed?

csmtampa

Im gonna print them through Adaroma since they print high quality. Then ill paste it to a card stock and cut with a paper cutter. I dont plan on having backs, but I might add them.
