Hey guys, with all the bullpen moves and player maneuvering around baseball I’m coming across a lot of guys that don’t have cards of them on the Mets. Luckily most seem to get used on MLB the Show and have player cards on there, which can then be image searched and saved. Does anyone know of a way then to print those images out on card stock paper in regulation baseball card size to use for TTM or IP graphing? Unless I’ve done it before I’m mostly technology illiterate, so if someone can walk me through the steps, that would be awesome. I already have some of the images saved to my phone…for example…

And actually I was savvy enough to figure out how to clean up the Bickford card a little bit to this instead

You'd need higher resolution versions for printing. Otherwise, these will look hazy/blurry when you print them off. With the logos, more places won't print those. That said, try Walgreens. lol.

Unfortunately I don’t know how to do that, the higher resolution stuff, that’s the kind of help I need, lol

I've been using a free program called GIMP to create customs. There are a ton of tutorials on youtube and it is the way that I've created a lot of customs for TTM. I usually try to stay with the Topps heritage of that year. So for this year, I'm using the 1976 Topps version. Just recently got this Shawn Armstrong back via TTM.

I have to use the computer? Also, where did you get the heritage look? Did you make that yourself? And then how do you print them out? On cardboard? I have no knowledge of this stuff, lol

GIMP is a desktop app, available for Linux/Windows/Mac.

As for printing, I use card stock with my printer at home. A little more expensive than plain paper, but it does the job.
