I have 5 of the physical cards that were gifted to me by the guy that made them, and the one at the HOF as well as the signed ball were donated by me.
Could you post a scan of the back of the card?
Scanner is shot, but I'll try to take a decent pic of the back later when I have a chance. I believe he told me he only ran about 20 or so. He still has most of them. He gifted me 5, and I believe Randy's family has 1 or 2 for the help with the original signature.
Well, obviously only ONE of these two gentleman is the original creator of this card. Let's hope credit is given where due.
Edited to add: Why the hell would someone try to pass off a card as something they created if that was not the case.
STAY HEALTHY!

They really don't need my permission, and that's perfectly fine with me! I think it's cool they have had it on display!
Sorry to gravedig, but just came across this thread. Hate to burst your bubble, but the card that's in the Reds HOF isn't your image, nor was it sourced from yours. I know the guy that made it from scratch and printed it, and he busted his behind on it. Sourced the signature from a family member, and scoured for any stats he could find. I'm not trying to belittle your work, which is amazing. I just wanted to clear things up a bit. Strange coincidence, for sure, but the physical card is definitely the work of another person.
Sorry for the necro, but I apparently missed this development. Your photos actually prove to ME that it's based on my card. That's exactly what the back of the card I made looked like (including the error). I never printed any copies of the card myself. It's possible that your friend duplicated my card, but I'm guessing he just downloaded my file and printed it (it looks like a great print job, BTW).
Also, I noticed that someone is selling them on Ebay again. It is NOT me.
The closest thing I have to proof is this Facebook post from August 2nd 2011. It is from the first time I posted it online. It's posted to the baseball card store that I'm a manager at.
There isn't any fame or fortune to be made from this, so I'm not mad about it or anything like that. It is weird that someone else would take credit for my work though (and kind of flattering at the same time).
Probably beating a dead horse at this point.. But this is my contribution. He was a Cardinal for longer than he was a Red so I feel like that should be acknowledged.

Here are mine, minus the one that's in the Reds HOF...
For someone who supposedly busted his butt, it is amazing how the backs are exactly the same? I wonder when he made HIS card in comparison to the OP?

Your guess is as good as mine, man...on either side. Not sure what to think.
Maybe the guy that gave you the cards is actually Stadium1978 (the OP)?

The signature was sourced from here:
