Hey guys! Just posted another article. Some fun customs of Rose, Schmidt, Ryan, Ripken and yours truly are included. It takes a long time formatting everything to show here, so here is a link:

    Those cards look fantastic.



    Can you please make some moustache wax packs and randomly put in cards you made?



    I'm a buyer.

    You know what is funny, is that is something similar to what my wife said. I attempted to be funny in my latest video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_LaTfka2Fg starting at the 1:15 mark or so. I promise I'll get better at video editing soon! image

    I don't doubt your skills tanner, but I prefer my cards to be autograph, swatch, patch, cleat, bat, base, gum and jockstrap free! (Or whatever they are sticking onto cards these days.)





    I have seen many of your canseco cards and they look awesome!

    While those are better than the originals, I'd still prefer an actual solo card dedicated to the player. Replicating the bad design elements of the multiplayer rookies just doesn't do it for me, though I could see something similar on a players first solo card. How about a 1982T Traded Ripken with a bat piece replacing the bat in the photo, hat swatch replacing his hat, and jersey swatch replacing the pictured jersey? For me that would be much more appealing.

    Murphy/Parrish 78 would be a good one. Not Murph's RC but with 4 windows you get the player pics and relics for both. Dwight Evans 1973 is a personal favorite also.

    Tanner..... As always awesome stuff. I watched your video and very entertaining. I can help you with APBA. It's pronounced AP BAH, The difference between the rounded and perforated cards are, APBA would make team sets with only 20 base cards, but for additional money you could buy extra players that would come 6 to a page in perforated sheets. (Those players were either injured or late call ups) 1986 is Jose Canseco's first APBA card. I hope that helps. If you are interested in more of APBA product here's APBA website: APBAGAMES.COM

    Tanner,



    Great job on all the cards, but that Nolan Ryan looks awesome. I'd be all over one of those.
