    I can't believe some card manufacturer hasn't thought of that. Nicer than some sticker auto IMHO (from famous games) if they're real.

    Good idea. If you want an opinion, I would stick with the design you used in the first card. Looks GREAT!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    There's lot of game used ticket stubs in cards but a series of inserts that celebrate achievements would be awesome.

    Very impressed...nice job!

    I think modern ticket stubbs would have to be like a 5x7 but even that size card would look awesome.

    GREAT idea! Where on the card do you note it is from his first or second win? It's a nice way to tell the story and agree with VitoCo - surprised a card company hasn't thought of this. Nice work.

    These are pretty rough right now, but they are getting better. I covered this card with a sharpie paint marker, and layed out the area to cut using calipers.
    This latest one has a really good fit, but the paint still needs work. I would like to print out box scores and do a bio on the back somehow, but I'm just trying to work on the front for now.
    This game was the next one after beating his former team 4 days earlier. This time he would defeat his former manager Dick Williams. Talk about a good week.
