Was outside with my 20 month old today and he LOVES hitting the ball (and then running the bases).

Got some pictures and made some quick custom cards on the Topps site. I'll be slabbing these when I get a chance. Love the way they turned out.

I think he might be a baseball player image

    Cool! I like the '81 design. I always dreamed of having my own card when I was a kid. Today's technology is great in that it's so easy to create these now. When we were kids, we needed a printing press. LOL

    I like the fact that he can hit for power with the rarely used inverted grip!

    I remember cutting cards up and rearranging letters to spell out my name, then gluing them onto a card of Gretzky. I have some of my real hockey cards that were made by photographers from shots taken on photo-day, but nothing fancy like these Topps cards. Man, I would have loved it. Maybe I should make some using my old photos.....hmmm.

    I am going to get him to sign one, lol.

    Thanks everyone for the kind words image

    If I did that, it would look like one of the 1976 Topps baseball All Time All Star cards. image

    A huge "Thank You" to Patrick for sharing the link with me. Here is my son Gehrig's 1976 card showing him jumping over a base hit.
