Worked on this one today. Hope to get it printed later this week. Still have to work on the back.

What do you think?

Looks good Jason!

Jason . . . you beat me to the punch, I've had a Red Man Jackie Robinson on my to-do list for a while, to go along with my '52 Mantle. I snooze, I lose. Great work.

For the back, go to Heritage Auctions (ha.com) and check their auction archives for any 1955 Red Man (since they're generic backs). They have huge back photos available and you can pick up an image there.

That Mantle is fantastic! Great job.

Very nice job Jason.

Bob - also a nice job - super early pic of the Mick.

Bob, always liked that young Mick...

FWIW . . . the Mantle batting picture came from the cover of the 1953 (IIRC) Dell Baseball Annual.

Love the Mantle Bob! Here are a couple custom cut red man cards I did.

Those are incredible!!! First the ball point sigs are my favorite and second
nice designing on the cards...

HeritageAddict: Those are beautiful! Really nice job.

Wow!

All nice cards. There are some very talented people here.

I'm lucky enough to have a copy of Bob's Mantle' the Banks that Doran did, and I hope the 55 Robinson from Jason.

I was glad my scan worked!

I wish I had that Aaron.

Also, wish I had some extra dough right now as I can't believe some of Doran's recent work has not be snatched up by now.

Red man's rock!!!!

Doran and Jason have made some quality "updates" to the Red Man series.

I've never tried an autograph or relic insert on my custom cards, but may give it a shot some day. I've got a bunch of signed index cards from the 1950s-1960s and earlier that would work. Most of them are personal favorite players from the era, rather than big stars.

Seeing all of your guys great customs made me look more closely at mine, and I made a few changes to the text block. I have updated the image.

Here are two sites that I like to use to identify fonts. Just take an image of the font from the card and use one of these sites. Then go to a free font site and download it.
