FCB Custom Cards Tournament - The Pick Wins!

[AnthonyCorona]

The toothpick is so unique. Gotta go with it

 

[mouschi]

A Calfas Duo! Wow, tough choice all around as both cards are great. I'm going with the UL Toothpick on this one bough. Super unique and such a beautiful card design, like something you would find in Heritage. What a great matchup!

Cool! I didn't even think about that. Brother vs. Brother!

Going with toothpick, should be put in a Ginter set.

Toothpick on this one for me

 

[U L Washington Rookie]

OK, let's pick our finalist from this bracket.

We have the Slaughter

Against the 'pick

Voting is open until 11PM ET on 19-Jul.

Gotta go with UL on this one.

 

[U L Washington Rookie]

The UL Washington, on the other hand, is in my opinion the epitome of a custom card. @U L Washington Rookie came to me with this idea, and that is just what makes customs so fun. Doing something that the major card companies haven't done, and likely never will do. My only qualm is that I wish he would have sent the toothpick to be chomped on by Washington for a few seconds first "Player-Chewed Toothpick".

UL Washington Rookie, I was wondering which one you were going to enter with, and I'm glad you used this one!

You did a great job turning some rough ideas into a well-polished finished product, mouschi! It's definitely tough to pick a favorite, but I'm not sure if I have a card in my collection I like more than this one!

I love comments like this the most. I'm glad you like the card so much!

Toothpick..

 

[MisterT]

Well, safe to say we "picked" our winner! (Even I groaned when I wrote that :? )

Next bracket coming up!

 

[MisterT]

OK, here we go with the next bracket:

In this match up we have two of the nicest cards I have ever seen...

A custom wood auto card (of who else):

And an amazing cut auto book of a WS championship team:

Voting is open until 11PM on 22-Jul

 

[mouschi]

It is important to note that the wood card is made out of a real game used piece of Canseco's bat ... and that the booklet is actually a jumbo booklet

Here is the story on the game used wood card: http://tanmanbaseballfan.com/2015/05/mouschi-birthday-mashup.html
And the story on the jumbo booklet: http://tanmanbaseballfan.com/2015/10/jumbo-cut-signature-booklet-a-year-in-the-making.html

 

[MrMet]

Wood card, it's simplicity beats out the complexity of the booklet for me

 

[WoundedDuck]

Seems unfair that these 2 have to run in to each other so early. I'm going to vote for the wood Canseco simply because it came from a game used bat, but it's very close to me.

Wood. The jumbo booklet is too busy for me, but both are great.

I hear you. It was the only way to see 4 cards from mouschi and get everyone in the tournament who had submitted cards.

My advice, sit back and enjoy the cards that are still coming...there are some great ones in this half of the bracket!

Wood card gets my vote. As always, exceptional work, [MENTION=7453]mouschi[/MENTION]
