Please put more effort into the actual framing than the mock-up.

Hey ITG, is the batter silhouette in your new logo modeled after anyone? So far your baseball stuff looks pretty good-when's it coming?

James52411 · Jan 30, 2011

Nice looking card. My only request would be to do everything you can to not cut off part of the signature within the card frame. If you have to take the extra time to cut different size windows, then do it.

Very cool colors on the card!!! I think a live card would look better than any mock up (duh :lol: ). Has there been any thought around trying a different SHAPE of the cut out for the auto?? Same goes with the sweet spot looking ball cards...would assist with making them look a little less similar to UD but thats just my 2 cents.

Also...AWESOME job on the cut auto checklist. Out of all of them I would not be ashamed to pull any of those :mrgreen:

Just cut the auto into 2 seperate pieces and put them one on top of the other and keep the card in portrait, not landscape.

Cut off the window itself and let the entire autograph be pasted and visible from edge to edge.

I can't stand it when cut windows chop off a signature when it will fit if they modify the window.

It's an extremely easy fix with an xacto knife, and ITG has done it in the past.

Please DO NOT do this. I hate when they do this, it ruins the flow of the autograph.

This is the correct answer. No reason why the auto should be cut off, you have room there to play with, make the most of it and show off that autograph!

I love the mantle sketch whos the artist? Will there also be sketches in the product?

AND DO NOT CUT OFF THE AUTOGRAPH LIKE THAT! cut the borders off if you have to or find a more suitable cut.

TBTwinsFan · Jan 30, 2011

Nice!

Like everyone has said, don't cut the sig off. The overall product would look better if you took the time to fit the auto to the window.

Nice Checklist BTW! I wouldn't mind pulling one or two of those

Whoooosh

Cut-off autos equal fail. Nicely designed card though.

I have never understood why people on the boards can make some of the most professional cut-autos ever without covering any of the auto, but professional companies who's JOB is to release cards to the public fail consistently at what anyone with a brain can do properly.

I hear 'ya loud and clear. Please remember this is just a mock-up.

I will personally review each card in this insert set to insure that the autograph are not impacted by the die-cut window.

I wish the legends signatures were not so large but I will do the best I can.

Swing and a... HOME RUN!

I love to hear company higher ups say things like this.

scotty21690 · Jan 30, 2011

What are the odds on pulling on of those bad boys?

thefatguy · Jan 30, 2011

Why does it say "Paper Cut"?

Does that imply there are sweet spot "Leather Cuts" or "Jersey Cuts" as well??
