Question for custom card makers
I use Royal Brites poster board for the cardbord "core" and attach full-page labels of the fronts and backs. Makes a good approximation of 1950s-1970s stock. -

What is the value of this 1954 SI Sheet?
Lots of misinformation being spread here . . . Issue No. 2 of Sports Illustrated was NOT reprinted, nor was the paper foldout insert sheet of the Yankees cards in '54T style. The individual "cards" from that sheet WERE reprinted by Larry Fritsch Cards, and are on different stock and marked as... -

Thoughts on this Ebay question/ inquiry

Unique Turkey Red Tobacco Find! Question
Nice find. They are scarcer with the paper backing, like yours. Steve Evans is Louis Evans, real name Louis Richard Evans. The catalog should probably be changed to reflect the name as shown on the silk. -

How to make custom cards (help please!)
Nathan, Welcome to the custom card creators' guild. I've always used Photoshop Elements; Version 2.0 IIRC. I bought Version 8.0, but don't like it (actually I'm too lazy to learn all the new bells and whistles.) I print my fronts and back separately on 8.5x11" label paper, and sandwich... -

One of the coolest cards ever sold today
Mays . . . "war"? The closest Willie ever got to Korea was New Jersey. Ted Williams was a real WWII and Korea combat vet, but Jerry Coleman saw more acton in a figther jet during the Korean War. -

Has anyone visited a grave site of a former Major Leaguer?
When I was with SCD, one of our ad guys was a grandson of former Milwaukee Braves and N.Y. Giants pitcher Dave Koslo. He's buried over at Menahsa, about an hour east of us. His headstone has a color picture behind thick glass. Part of the inscription reads, "he was something of an iron man." We... -

21 years later... 1990 Donruss Aqueous test is mine!!
There are no 1990 Donruss Aqueous cards known numbered above 283. Bonus Cards 1-9 (MVPS) are also known. The full checklist of known Aqueous cards is in the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards. That list is likely 100% accurate because there have been no bona fide additions since shortly after... -

I'm not a "new card" guy, and I've never done a patch or autograph custom, but your A-Rod creation is as nice as anything I've seen from Topps or Upper Deck. Show us the back! -

My custom Carl Weathers Oakland Raiders card
Here's what I came up with for a 1971 Topps-style Carl Weathers custom card. It was one of my more challenging builds; read about it on my blog, liked below. One more to go, a 1972 O-Pee-Chee CFL card. -

A football card for Carl Weathers: Part 1
My to-do list will outlive me! I have 100 or more images that I want to make into cards some day. My next couple of 1955-style projects are probably going to be for 1950s-60s baseball stars Ted Kluszewski (Indiana) and Bill Skowron (Purdue). I've also been hanging fire on a 1952 Bowman style... -

What is this?
That started out as one of the collectors' issue cards that were included in sheet form in issues of Baseball Card News back when it was owned by Allen Kaye. It looks like the Greenberg has been skinned and/or rebacked, as well as artificially aged. -

CUSTOM CARD THREAD - Show your customs!
Links fixed; thanks for the heads up. Since I usually only print 6-9 of each of my cards, I print "sheets" of fronts and backs on 8-1/2" x 11" gummed full-page labels and sandwich a piece of card stock between them, then cut into singles. -

Anyone Know What These Dimaggio and Williams Photos are?
Those are modern "broders," i.e., unauthorized collectors' issues. The backs are copies of the players' listings from old Sporting News Registers. No collectible value.
