Those definitely look great. My favorite is how well the FCB logo not only looks great but makes it look as though FCB should be on more cards than just 1. Awesome job Chris!!!

Was the reason why no (MLB) established players were selected for the set because of royalty issues? For what its worth, the set makes it seem like FCB is for prospectors only.

well man


I think its kinda obvious where we got the licencing for this set. We could only use guys they had under contract. And even then there were more restrictions.


You can't just print a card of whomever you want to for stuff like this.

I negotiated with CMG, but they shot me down. :D

Yeah no kidding. Seems like it was because of royalty issues as I said initially. But its seemingly only obvious to some folks here.

Great, Gilmore's counterfeiting FCB promos out of his basement... ;) :lol:



Cool stuff, they look great. I don't care if they're prospects or not, I think it's good publicity.

~Donruss/Panini can't get an MLB license to print cards, but I bet FCB could!~

I think you should go after Boras next year. How kick ass would it be that the first Scott Boras card is released in an FCB promo set?!

I'd like to see some inserts

1:10 sets you get a mod card, some ideas as follows.

1. A gilmo rookie card
2. An Allincards break used beard card, contains a DNA hair from Andrew's beard.
3. An NECPilgrims8 fight used MMA card
4. A phillies mod card with pictures of Phillyfan, BowmanChromeAddict and other Phillies fans on the board all kissing the WS ring.
