Cards that could have been updated 1-10 1963 Stargell

All the people making custom cards lately got me looking for the thread about cards that could have been, couldn't find it. So, I thought that everyone could post their "could have been" customs here if they wanted. While trying to avoid doing anything productive today I stumbled across some images I liked and made them into these two could have been customs.

colts900 · August 25, 2010 6:57AM

I don't make customs but I would love to see a 35 Chicle Don Hutson.

54topps · August 25, 2010 7:58AM

I'd like to see a 1954 Topps hockey card or Maurice Richard and Jean Beliveau.

Keith Conforti has made a lot of really incredible ones- they are often distributed at the Boston shows as promos. Here's a few he sent me

<< Keith Conforti has made a lot of really incredible ones......... >>

Keith has some of his cards on this site.

SDSportsFan · August 25, 2010 8:58AM

Here are links to a couple of Bob Lemke's sites with some of the cards he's made:

1955 Topps All-Americans

Baseball

I don't know. That DiMaggio looks a little O/C to me!

Seriously, those are simply incredible. They look amazingly real. What kind of program would one use to make such real looking cards??

HeritageAddict · August 25, 2010 9:35AM

Those are some amazing looking cards! Here are a couple more somewhat recent creations. I don't know what the other guys use, but I use photoshop.

Gator · August 25, 2010 10:07AM

WOW! Those are fantastic! Personally, I like the Duke Snider the best.

HeritageAddict · August 25, 2010 12:28PM

Love the Paige! Here is my last one for tonight, just had to use the other Ruth image I found.

stormsurge · August 25, 2010 1:02PM

Wow lots to like here! Love the CJs!

cardbender · August 25, 2010 1:41PM

I love this thread. It's so cool to see card's that weren't made for whatever reason.

I'm really surprised some card manufacturer hasn't made an entire
set with cards like these. I can think of hundreds of vintage Football cards I'd like to see created.

sschauer513 · August 25, 2010 8:44PM

Here's some Rose's I've done

1972 boyhood -

2004 UD Timeless Teams -

sschauer513 · August 25, 2010 8:52PM

And some more

BPorter26 · August 25, 2010 9:05PM

This is a very cool thread. Doran as always great work.

frankhardy · August 25, 2010 9:07PM

Since you are showing modern game used cards, are you implying that there are no modern cards made of Rose because he is banned? You know, now that I think about it, I don't remember ever seeing any modern cards of Pete Rose. Would my assumption be correct?

sschauer513 · August 25, 2010 10:25PM

Rose's only modern cards are 2008 - 9 donruss Panini Threads, Americana, elite, prime cuts, 2010 UD, razor, and sport kings but of course none mlb licensed. Missed out on some great inserts and relic cards would love to see the 3000 hit club card made but since UD got slapped down doubt it will ever happen.

HeritageAddict · August 25, 2010 10:30PM

Love the Rose cards, here are a few I've made. I'm sure I've posted all of these at some point in the past, but might as well put them here.

Griffins · August 26, 2010 1:13AM

that '71 Perez is awesome!

Gator · August 26, 2010 5:00AM

All fantastic!

HeritageAddict · August 26, 2010 10:13AM

Yeah the Perez came out good, but I can't take credit for the image used that came from board member mcholke.

HeritageAddict · August 27, 2010 9:27AM

I've gotten hooked on these Cracker Jack cards, makes me wish I could afford to collect them. Here is the newest.

HeritageAddict · August 29, 2010 8:28AM

Here is my newest one, 1976 Bob Gibson.

stormsurge · August 29, 2010 9:15AM

"I've gotten hooked on these Cracker Jack cards, makes me wish I could afford to collect them. Here is the newest."

I just wish you could make them for reals lol

nam812 · August 29, 2010 9:20AM

Awesome Gibson Doran, but it's centered too well for a 76.

HeritageAddict · August 29, 2010 11:45AM

You're probably right Nick, but then again we can all dream.

Gator · August 30, 2010 12:29AM

This is an awesome thread. Here's a football one I've been working on.

Justus · August 30, 2010 12:49AM

Awesome card, Gator!

zep33 · August 30, 2010 12:59AM

Here's a Bowman Chrome Strasburg rookie I made last year. Kind of hard to tell it's chrome cause of the canvas I used, but it is.

Gator · August 30, 2010 2:12AM

Is that a refractor?

stown · August 30, 2010 4:12AM

<< Here is my newest one, 1976 Bob Gibson.

Freaking sweet. Now that's one BMF.

HeritageAddict · August 31, 2010 2:03AM

Can you guess the new guy?

123Slider · August 31, 2010 2:11AM

<< Can you guess the new guy?

>>

Has to be a young Koufax?

HeritageAddict · August 31, 2010 2:15AM

Wow, there is quite a resemblance, but the guy pictured never actually played in the majors....but he is very well known.

thekid8 · August 31, 2010 2:44AM

shooting from the hip I'm going to go with a young Zane Gray

gregmo32 · August 31, 2010 2:56AM

I wish I had the computer skills to make a 1986 Fleer Fletch #99 Lakers RC.

DavidPuddy · August 31, 2010 3:26AM

<< I wish I had the computer skills to make a 1986 Fleer Fletch #99 Lakers RC. >>

Chick Hearn: He's 6'5", with the afro 6'9".
4 Million dollars a year sure..but he's worth every penny.

gregmo32 · August 31, 2010 4:26AM

Can't you just see him standing there with the ball under his arm, blowing a kiss, with his Lakers #99 jersey, in that classic 1986 Fleer style?
How have I never thought of this before?

RonBurgundy · August 31, 2010 4:51AM

Where can I get these cards?

bsidegrve · August 31, 2010 4:56AM

Not sure what position fletch played lol

HeritageAddict · August 31, 2010 5:40AM

Correct answer is a very young Fidel Castro.

stown · August 31, 2010 6:03AM

<<

Not sure what position fletch played lol >>

WIN!

If I recall correctly, Fletch played all positions in the championship game and his fro added another foot to his height.

jmoran19 · August 31, 2010 7:18AM

Awesome cards everyone!

If doing requests how bout 1970 and/or 1971 cards of Kenny Stabler and Roger Staubach

bbuckner22 · August 31, 2010 8:14AM

Some great cards in this thread. How about a 68 Reggie Jackson? With 100+ AB's in 1967 I'm surprised he wasn't on a 68 rookie card.

RedHeart54 · August 31, 2010 8:30AM

Love it!

How about a 1978-79 OPC WHA Wayne Gretzky rookie with the Indianapolis Racers?? It could be a combination of features found on the 1972-1977 WHA OPC cards.

And a 1951 Bowman Joe DiMaggio. Also.

If I ever learned to make Cards That Coulda Been I'd never leave the house!

Gator · August 31, 2010 12:24PM

<< Some great cards in this thread. How about a 68 Reggie Jackson? With 100+ AB's in 1967 I'm surprised he wasn't on a 68 rookie card. >>

Topps made one in the 2005 Fan Favorites issue. Also made an autographed version, very cool.

gregmo32 · August 31, 2010 12:40PM

That Fletch card made my freaking day!
I will print it on the printer at work tomorrow, and put it in a screw down holder on my
mantle.
Awesome.
Thanks!

GDM67 · August 31, 2010 12:44PM

I was just about to write that I had never seen a photo of Jax in a KC A's uniform.

I need to keep up with those issues.

AUPT · August 31, 2010 10:09PM

My latest, an old-school multi-player feature card.

thekid8 · August 31, 2010 10:15PM

Great cards!!!

Love the Fletch card --- need to add to the set a card of Sam Malone and Tony Banta
