With the size of today's "rainbows" it got me thinking, what would cards from the 90s look like if they produced even more colors of some of our favorite inserts from that time period.
Green /250
Orange /150
Purple /100
Gold /50
Red /25
Teal /10
Blue /5
Black /1
It took me far too long to...
I'll be getting this in the mail soon.
I'm still filling in the blanks to the Rolen PC and while I'm doing that, I'm trying to fill up some blank wall space with things that aren't cards.
Check out my blog to see the progression of this piece.
Is WoundedDuck still around? Or does anyone know how to get in touch with him? He did a custom sketch card for me several years ago and I was hoping to commission a few more.
If anyone else does custom sketches, I may be interested in having you do a few as well.
Hey guys! I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things as far as my collection goes.
Between being busy with work and a few side projects going on, I've been working on building a website for my Rolen collection. I've been messing around with the Wix site builder and I'm not sure if I want...
I know there is a player collector thread, and I've searched through it already. I was just wondering if there are any active members here who collect Scott Rolen cards. I have amassed quite the collection of doubles (and triples/quadruples +) from buying lots of Rolen cards off of ebay to only...
I've not purchased anything for the Rolen PC in quite some time. So, while I was perusing ebay I decided to check out the completed auctions and stumbled upon this:
[ebay:1o2k2qg5]260664274860[/ebay:1o2k2qg5]
If you are the one who purchased this, I'll double...no...triple your money RIGHT...
Someone needs to invent a scanner specifically for cards. Something that will scan the front and back of a card simultaneously. I can think of several guys here that would purchase such a device; myself included.
Just one of my many multi-million dollar ideas that I'm willing to give away...
It's a long story that I'm sure you guys don't really care to hear...but my wife has decided that she wants a divorce. She just "isn't happy" anymore. That being said, I'm selling nearly everything I own in order to get some things taken care of.
If anyone would like an instant Scott Rolen...
Ok...not exactly a 1/1. But it counts as one on ebay...so that makes it a 1/1 right? :P
Thanks to the guys here at FCB for helping me add this to my growing PC collection known as the "Rolen Vault."
I'm testing the waters here...I was wondering if there was anyone here who would be interested in scanning the fronts and backs of my entire Scott Rolen collection. I was doing good there for a long time...but here lately I haven't been able to scan anything!
So, if you're seriously interested...
Scott doesn't look like he's taking a dump in my banner anymore! This picture comes from ESPN...Scotty's first hit as a Red and it's a 2 run HR!
Here is the old one:
The new one is in my sig. Definitely a better picture of him! :D
I have been really busy lately with stuff unrelated to card collecting. But tonight I finally got a little free time to do some scanning. I felt that it was necessary to thank Pinbreaker (Kevin) publicly for his generosity and his help in assisting me with my '99 SP Signature set.
Kevin...
I'll probably never own a card like this, but I was wondering if anyone here could tell me how big these are?
[ebay:3s8677dp]120359052453[/ebay:3s8677dp]
I just didn't know if they were standard card size or if they were like the minis.
Kevin (Pinbreaker) and I were working out a deal for some of the '99 SP cards that I needed for my set. I had a slight set back ($$) due to some recently accrued medical bills and I let him know via PM.
Fast forward to today - I checked my mail and there was a package in there. I knew I...
Yesterday my fiance and I went to St. Louis to the Cardinals Hall of fame. We got to meet and get autographs from a few former Cardinals!
Here they are:
Al Hrabosky
Red Schoendienst
Ricky Horton
Once I find my light box and get it set up, I'll get pictures of the baseballs. Hrabosky...
I've been fiddling around with trying to design baseball cards. It would be a dream job for me actually! Here is one that I've come up with:
Let me know what you think, whether it's good or bad. Also, if you have any suggestions that would make it look better, by all means, post them!
Just messing around in paint.net tonight and I came up with these:
NATIONAL LEAGUE
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Feel free to use them if you want. Just remember to save them as .png to preserve the transparent background. Also, if you want any other team's logo, let me know. If it's on HERE, I...
Here are a few sites I use to make banners. Feel free to check them out...you might even be able to make your own banners!
First, the program I use right now is paint.net. It's like MSPaint on steroids. You can get it for free here:
paint.net
Some of the other useful sites I use:
Font Site...
With all the banners I've done here, and on a couple of other sites, I was thinking about different fonts to download. Just wondering if you guys have a favorite font. If you do, what's the name of it? If they are cool looking, I'll add them to my collection!
Here are my two favorite fonts...
I've been pushing myself lately with paint.net. I can't really do that by making banners that are 600x100 pixels. So I've been working on some different backgrounds for my laptop...or artwork as I like to call it.
Here are a couple of the newer ones:
Let me know what you think!
Here you go:
Remember, if you save them to your computer, you have to save them as .png to preserve the transparent background. You could save them as .gif, but you'll lose some image quality.

If you would like one, let me know. I need to know:
1) who
2) what you would like for it to say (if anything)
3) what uniform (if they played for multiple teams)
Also, if it's a newer guy, please provide me with pictures you'd like used.
