Two new customs: C-O-O-P!

I've been working on some customs of some of my favorites from the Brewers heyday.

    Hi Bob

    Superb job!

    Is that the cartoon/back from his card from that year?

    I just noticed the "Bobbs Chewing Gum" and "BCC"

    Thanx for sharing - well done.

    Yes, the back is pretty much the way ut was done by Topps, including the cartoon. I only had to chage the data at top to change the how acquired info, and re-do the copyright line at bottom.

    Like the 71, not crazy about the 77, but I am a SOX fan so go figure. image

    Those look fantastic Bob! Thank you for sharing.

    Have you ever made Rusty Staub's missing years? ('72 & '73) While im asking, was it a contract dispute the reason he was excluded from those sets?

    Bob,

    Is there any chance you will print and sell the Brewers Cooper?

    I named my soon to be 6 year old Cooper. He was my favorite player.

    And if it matters. We live in Fond du Lac, if I remember correctly this is also your hometown.

    So all those connections - maybe you could sell the card to me.

    Thanks

    After those four National League games, Gorman Thomas was never the same, and neither were the Brewers, and come to think of it neither was I.

    Well done! Those very well could have just came out of the packs from their respective set/years.

    There are at least six custom card makers posting regularly on this forum, and I know of at least three others who I don't believe have ever posted.

    I think we need one perpetual thread here so the topic and the new creations are always near the front page.

    I've never considered the missing Rusty Staub years. Larry Fritsch knew all about the players who were missing from various 1960s and 1970s sets; he may have even had a master list. I recall from our talks that at least some of the cases of missing players involved players' union issues, rather than individual contracts.

    Because he was a Milwaukee Brave, I've got a 1964 Joe Adc ock (site's robo censor won't let me use his ream name) near the top of my to-do list, so I'll leave Le Grande Orange to one of the other makers.

    Shawn . . . I print all of my creations, though in some ways it is the most difficult part of the process. I printed one sheet of the my Cooper cards, five of the 1977 and four of the 1971. PM sent.

    More great cards, Bob. I especially love the '77!

    Being a local guy, have you ever considered making a '78 Gantner?

    I want to Thank Bob for his beautiful card and generosity.

    Bob that Cooper card is great, I have been showing it off all week.

    Thanks a ton,

    Shawn
