Check out the site. He has some decent looking cards, but I don't understand the generic ones.

::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: If UD manufactured patches weren't bad enough. If I pulled one of those it would be like a kick in the old beanbag :shock: The card would go straight to ebay.

Yeah, I remember I made fun of a Prince Fielder (similar to the Crawford) he did, and he was insulted and came back with a 'art is hard' type response.

Some of these are really nice

But yeah that Crawford is pretty lame.

He does great work when he takes the time. With what Topps pays them, it isn't really doesn't make sense for someone to spend hours and hours on a card.

Except when will he have a bigger chance to capitalize on his skill then by getting a card inserted into Topps. If I pulled a cool looking sketch card I would probably seek out more of the guy's work. But if I pull something that he obviously takes no pride in I wouldn't give it a second look.
