Just wondering because I remember seeing some cards he did here and they were great. I think he did a 69 Munson and a 71 Schmidt for Felicia with a cut auto. Anyways, I had a crazy far fetched idea for a card. If the Mick would have been healthy and able to play for 20 years, what would his 71 Topps baseball card look like? I love the 71's, my fave set and some of the Yankees card from that set are great in action horizontal shots. The 71 Munson, of course and others like Roy White and Curt Blefary. Oh, what a card that would have been!!

Doran (heritageaddict) is the guy you're thinking of.

Thanks, does he have a website or a thread on here showcasing his work?

You also have Knuckles (Garret), who I use for my custom cards. I have a thread on here with most of the cards he has done for me so far.

Here is a card Doran made for me.

I made the 71 Schmidt for Felicia, but the Munson was not mine I believe that was thehun. Knuckles does great stuff, he was actually the inspiration for me to start making my own. Here are a few samples I am currently working up for the bst board.

Nice cards - its been a while for me.

here is my latest - too busy to do more.

HeritageAddict · October 15, 2009 10:31AM

Since you mention the horizontal 71 cards, here are a couple of non-auto cards for you.

Damn, love those 71's you made, could you redo the whole set

DamageInc · October 15, 2009 11:33AM

Man, all of these cards are great!! You guys need to start your own card co.!!

The 63 Rose with the cut auto is a classic, the 74 Strawberry is great, and the 71's of Perez
and Rose are great. I would LOVE to own that 71 Rose All Star card...hint...hint..

Please make and post a mock up of a 71 Mantle

I did the '69T Munson, but don't do autographs.

These are so cool. I could look at these all day.

Aric · October 16, 2009 4:20AM

These are great. What do you guys print these on? And what type of printer do you use?

ripkenintheminors · October 16, 2009 4:53AM

This is an area that I hope to devote more time to in the future. That and playing more guitar.

I dont "make" custom cards, but I had fun with this one.

DamageInc · October 16, 2009 5:09AM

Love that card Nam! It's like a tribute to the Munson.
I would be interested in the methods that are used to actually print these
on cardstock such as what kind of stock is used and how to print the front and back to achieve as close to a
original vintage issue. The 71 Schmidt that Heritageaddict did for Felicia looks very close to the real deal and am
curious as to how he did it. You can even see the little printing specks of white in the black area of the card just like a original 71. (could be scanner particles though...not sure)

TheHun . . . I've been putting aside some photos of 1940s-1960s stars in their later coaches uniforms. When time permits, I'm going to do a coaches' series like your Snider. I'm planning DiMaggio (A's), Paige (Braves), Gibson (Mets), etc. I've already done a 1969 Maz w/ the Mariners.

Aric . . . As for actually producing the cards I print (with a fairly standard HP Photosmart 1000 printer) front and backs separately in sheets of 6-8 on Avery #8255 Ink Jet full-page labels. I stick them on sheets of cardboard (comic-book backer boards), then cut into singles. Sometimes for a real high-gloss front, I use premium gloss photo paper, but that has to be glued to the cardboard.

I'm hoping to take a stab this weekend on laminating the fronts to give them a glossy look like the originals.

TheHun · October 16, 2009 6:56AM

AUPT - those would be great to see - especially the Joe D.

Depending on the type - autograph or retro custom, I use several different kinds of paper.

I've try to improve the quality of the cards each time I try something new.

cheers
