Hey Cal Ripken Jr Collectors, what do you think about this?

I assume more players will have the 4x treatment? Are these serial numbered? Numbered to sequentially #/4, not all 1/1s?

They are 4 seperate 1/1's and they will be part of the overall run of 1/1's that fall one per 12 box inner.


It's the only 4 up on the CL, however these 1/1's also have similar jumbo premium patches...

hire 200lbhockeyplayer, i think much better can be done...

I hate cards that don't have a good picture of the player, and whats with all the headless players?

 

[ITGBaseball]

Sorry man, we can't use head shots or pictures of some players without getting sued.

 

[alexs64]

Making cards is awesome! When you can make them with the input of the community is even better. I would suggest making the patch as large as possible and making it a 1/1. Not 4 1/1's with smaller patches. Make it a REAL 1/1.

 

[hofautos]

^^^ and people will buy those?

Can't you use their mugshot without their logo, like sportkings?

 

[jbrown]

That "McGuire" could be awesome. If it's the right player.

it all depends on the player

 

[Mr.Whipple]

You guys should of used players in the background in the same era, As the player on the card. Maybe a pic of the stadium and team colors, So people would associate the card to the player also. Put Baltimore AL also wouldn't of hurt.

i am ok with 4 1/1's with smaller patches (the whole logo wouldn't fit anyway)...but the card design needs work imho.

Take the player images off the cards in your sig, and this design is as good or better.

 

[Russ S.]

Not bad.
Kinda plain.
IMHO, they should be /4. Or the front of the card pictured on the back.
That way the patch fakers won't have their way with them.

I never said the whole logo..I just said as large as possible. I would much rather have a large piece of this logo instead of just the feet.

#ing all 4 of them to 1/1 is a disservice to collectors and the product.

 

[Cobra29svt]

Without a pic of the player, I don't think they are very appealing. Just my opinion.

Thank you!

We do what we can. It dosen't do any good to include something you aren't licenced to include.

I thought that "ITG knows what they're doing"...


Facebook chat:

Me: Aren't they 1/4s?
In The Game Baseball Cards Jeff, they are 1/1's with distinct different patches.
Me: Isn't every patch card, then, a 1/1?


Interesting scheme.

well they have to do something with the left overs, but maybe have a bigger 1/1 with the birds head, and then use the other parts for #/4
