My latest custom card . . .

There's a bit of backstory on my blog (linked below) today or tomorrow.

    Hey Bob ... hope all is well. A few corrections for the back of the card:

    1. Line 10 - NY Yankees "FOR" s/b NY Yankees "IN"

    2. 5th line from bottom - consecutive games), - I believe the comma should be eliminated

    3. 4th line from bottom - I believe there should be a "period" after ".325"

    You know how I love the cards that you make .... however, for some reason, I don't think this one lives up to the others you have done. Not sure why.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Bob,
    What is card #599 from that set?
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    Cool card!

    Doug, thanks, as always, for your proof-reading prowess. "for 1936" is correct. The trade occurred, according to baseball-reference.com at the end of 1934 for delivery to the Yankees in 1936.

    Card #599 is Bill Skowron, Angels.

    Nice card. The comma after consecutive games is appropriate. It's called a serial comma.

    I like that card!

    BTW, there should also be a comma after "With the Yankees from 1936-1951" ten lines from the bottom.

    Nice job!

    Finley's name was spelled Charlie, or Charles. Nice card, though.

    Joe D just looks like the douche that he was in that photo.

    I knew he was good but never realized he was traded for the year 1936

    << <i>I knew he was good but never realized he was traded for the year 1936 >>



    I see what Bob is saying with his explanation but I agree something more descriptive would read more clearly. ...traded to the Yankees for the beginning of the 1936 season?

    Grammar popo unite!

    Nice card.

    Upon reviewing of contemporary resources, I think I'll go with "Charles O'Finley."

    I do appreciate the punctuation advice, as well.

    The only thing I like about Di Maggio is the card.Other than that Joe was all about Joe.Dominick was the guy with all the class.

    As far as making a custom card; it is generally at least an all-day project . . . and that's once I have the photo I'm going to use. I suppose a good average, including research time to wriite the bio, stats, etc., is 8 hours.

    On first glance, I thought it said "BOOBS 600."

    I thought it was a new NASCAR race.
