Slighty OT - My personal hockey cards.

When I say my personal cards, I really mean it! These aren't just cards that I own, but cards of me while I was playing adult hockey a number of years back now. Of course, I had to have them made! They were/are made by Upper Deck - I assume you can still get this done, but I haven't done anything with it for a long time.
Anyway, just wanted to show everyone what I had made and see what you guys think. If you're curious as to my hockey skills, I haven't played for a while now, even then it was a starter level. I feel I can skate really quite fast and generally well, but my skills such as stickhandling, shooting, etc. aren't as good. You can see we weren't a great team - plus there were a few times we barely had enough people - I remember my very first game, only 6 or so skaters showed up and I ended up playing almost the full game! We did get better at times - my other best memory of this was when we faced the other "bad" team in our league in one game I got a hat trick in about the first half of the game - couldn't nail down a 4th goal though!
Here are the cards.
Card 1 Front
Card 1 Back
Card 2 Front

Topps does some nice ones too...
Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure if PSA would actually grade these cards or just slab them. At least they are authentic for sure! I ordered 10 of each of them back when I got them - probably mostly PSA 8s/9s now - they might have been 10s originally.

5' 10"; 140?? Are you one of those lucky guys that can eat Wendy's Baconator combos for breakfast, lunch and dinner while sitting on the couch all day and not put on an ounce??
<< <i>Very cool. Congrats.

Sorry for not responding earlier - I was at a local casino losing money all day! Yes, that pretty much describes me - one guy keeps telling me I'll get fatter as I get older, but it never happens to me. I actually used to have the Baconator pretty often, but lately I've switched to the normal double burger. Seriously though - I never seem to gain much weight no matter what, that is true. I think 5-10 is pushing it though, probably an inch or 2 below that!

I'm more of a White Castle guy, but I still play dek hockey and weight only 165 lbs. I am 6 ft though. Here is my card, not Upper Deck, LOL.
