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.

D'oh! Thanks for the proofread. I'll fix that when I try out the font suggestion I got from Mr. Lemke (AUPT).
Thanks for all of the kind words, everybody!
On cards like this, the white border should match the whitest part of the photo. In this case, Kaline's shoulder. On a real vintage card, the border wouldn't age if the photo didn't as well.

Nice tip! I've updated the image with a modified border to better match the card. Thanks again!
These cards make me sad because they're not real.
p.s. The stats are wack on the back of the 75 Kaline. You have ABs for Games (i think)?
Two quick questions. Are those cracked cases and did you create PSA labels?
<< <i>Super 75!!!! Awesome looking card...if only.

Wow. I really need to proofread better. I fixed the OP with a "corrected" version.

It's all photoshopped. I took scans of PSA graded cards, digitally edited the labels, and cropped in my images in of the virtual cards. I haven't actually printed any of this out. They only exist in my computer. I only edited them into the PSA holders because I thought it would give them a more real look. It looks like it worked!

<< <i>On the Red Heart, you misspelled "Throws" and should it be all caps like the other stats? >>
That makes it a hat trick. Three cards, three errors. It's fixed now. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
BTW, Your Jackie Robinson fansite/Facebook is one of the slcikest looking fansites/pages I've ever seen.

I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Please don't share your secrets with others since some people don't have the best intentions, ya know...

Unfortunately, I am aware. I make it a point to never bid on cards that have the edges cropped off (as an example).
I've updated the OP with an Al Kaline 1954 Dan-Dee card. That'll probably do it for Al Kaline fantasy cards unless I find some awesome photos some time.
Keep up the great work...
