1978 Rocky Colavito custom completed

AUPT

Thanks to a suggestion from fellow custom card creator Keith Conforti, I switched up the presentation for my 1978 Topps-style Rocky Colavito card to the horizontal "AS PLAYER/AS MANAGER" format.

Here's the result . . .

Very nice, I love 1978's

Very nice, but I think his name on the front should be in bold letters, like this.

Very cool!

GREAT! How do I get a copy?

AUPT

My initial print run is a sheet of 9 cards. I keep two for my permanent archives. The others are available for $7.50 each, postpaid. PM me for payment details.

Am I wrong about this?

Topps may have used a bold(er) font on the Torre card because his name is so short. My Colavito name was a close match to the weight of Jeff Torborg's name on the '78 Indians' manager's card.

I respectfully disagree. I just looked at a few of the other manager's cards and all of the manager's names that I saw are bolder than the "as player" font, including Torborg's. Rocky's name doesn't stand out like it does on the original 1978 cards. I noticed that something was "off" literally within one second of first seeing your card. Just trying to help.

I appreciate your evaluation. I'll revisit the weight of the font when I test print the image and get it in hand. This is why I post my "beta" versions on this forum. Thanks much.
