Signature Stitchings Side Panel custom cut - Berra.

200lbhockeyplayer · Dec 11, 2010

Okay, so I haven't had a ton of time to work on my own customs (or anyone else really) and after nailing down the Hank Aaron sweet spot and having a couple side panel autographs lying around I came up with the following Yogi Berra.

I wanted to keep it consistent with the "set design" of the sweet spot signature.

Looks delicious

Both cards look great. You might consider showing less ball and more Yogi.

Do you get these slabbed BGS/JSA when you are done?

Looks good Mike. There is another dark spot on the Aaron tucked in the "M" in "755 Career Home Runs". I think it would look a little better if that was lightened up. JMO.

I agree with the bolded. If you cut the ball a little more, you could pull the image of Yogi out of the text.

The Yogi signature jammed up at the top does show too much ball, but I really want the fact that it's a side panel to still show strong. Basically, I want a "standard" side panel style to work with. Berra is one of the few who signs so small.

I get some of them slabbed because I like the way they look slabbed, but out of all of my customs, I have slabbed less than 5%. I'll slab the Aaron when it's built.

I think the side panel theme really goes well if you have the full side panel. i think it looks good the way it is.

I love them!

Have you ever tried to re stitch them? You should make them the red white and blue stitches like the old school balls, that may look pretty sweet. I am really loving the designs good job again.

That's a good idea.

One thing I'll have to see is how the restitching falls into the original stitching grooves, because I don't want to have 60+ half inch stitches that have to be cut individually, like it is now with the original stitches.
