I know we have a lot of extremely talented and artistic FCBers out there who make their own cards (patch cards, booklets, autos, new "vintage", etc), and I've seen a lot of hand-crafted, hand-distressed cards (Helmar, for one) on eBay selling at strong prices. I thought it would be fun to start a thread dedicated to discussing and showcasing the art of these cardboard craftsmen.
Here's a couple of sweet looking cut auto's I recently saw on eBay. I think the Lyons card is a much stronger design (if for no other reason than because he's pictured on the front of the card), but I really like the Spahn as well. Aside from the fact that I like all things Spahn, I think it's the colors/design of that cut check that I like most. It just has an interesting feel to it, kind of like an interesting piece of patch, or something. (Sorry...I don't have images of the reverse.)
This guy had a couple dozen different designs that really impressed me. You can see on the Spahn that his cut wasn't perfect (top left corner you can see some feathering), but all in all I thought his product looked very professional.
