Sneak peek: my '53 Bowman Jackie Robinson

I haven't posted too many of my recent custom cards on this forum recently, but I've been busy making new baseball and football cards "that never were."

You can find each of my new creations on my blog (linked below), but I'm especially happy with my take on a 1953 Bowman Jackie Robinson card.

Since I know there are a couple of devoted JR fans on this forum, I thought I give you a sneak peek at the card that will be featured on my blog
on April 8. Be sure to check again on the 9th for a companion piece.

    Great job! Can you do a 53 Bowman color version?

    Check my blog later today for the whole story.

    Short answer . . . no, colorizing this is beyond my abilities.

    That looks great AUPT. What a great way to enjoy the hobby besides just simply collecting.

    As an owner of the 55 Bowman Clemente that you created, I can say that you do some superb work!

    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.

    Great work Bob!

    Since you are not doing a Bowman Color, I will share my 53 Bowman Color. Not my intent to highjack your thread, just thought it would be neat to compare.

    As an owner of the 55 TAA Rickey Williams that he created, I can say the *exact* same thing.

    Great work, as always, Bob!

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    Jason,

    Your '53B color JR is a great custom card; I'd seen it in the past.

    After my failure to colorize the photo I was working with, I also considered putting the leaping JR on the original Reese card . . . I may even try it someday.

    Jason, that is an incredible image.
