My first custom cut auto project and it came out awesome! HOFer, pics included!

[homerun28aa]

Been wanting to do one of these for awhile and I wanted to get a solid HOFer nothing too crazy but I think Satchel is pretty well known and an interesting historical player. Once I got to thinking about it, I thought it would be cool to try to do a ***** League themed design, and I think my buddy on here did a great job with it, very happy with how it came out!

What'd you guys think?

I was able to view , looks great! So does the sig. Just not sure that's the logo I would have chosen, but still sweet

Great job. The design is classy and the cutout is perfect. Much nicer than Topps' cut autograph cards.

And I like the choice of the unusual logo because it's so unique. The Monarchs wore that heart logo on their jersey sleeve because it symbolized playing all out, with their "heart on their sleeve." Cool card.

Edit: I got to the picture theough the Photobucket link in your sig, since your card's link wasn't working.

Very nicely done... Id say better then 90% of major manufacturers cuts cards...

Thanks for the help with the pictures guys .

Agreed regarding the logo I actually had similar initial feedback, but given the fact that that was the logo they wore and given the story behind it that Austin shared (which I wasn't even aware of) I'm glad we stuck with that original logo and I think that story makes it even more intriguing.

Thanks for all the kind words, I have to agree the piece came out better than I even expected it could. I also like the window; I really like the 2005 legendary cuts windows and I think this is a better version of that IMO. Though it's very, very hard to show in pictures one of my favorite things is the print itself - the texture of the card is really clean and visually appealing in person. I think some of the manufactured cuts have kind of a cheap-looking texture it's hard to explain what I mean just by the pictures. But thanks again guys, definitely going to do more of these as they're way more fun than just buying a cut and not even close in terms of cost (assuming you get the cut itself for a good price).

That is one great looking card. Keeping the original logo was a great idea.

A cut signature that fits neatly in the window? The hell you say? Nicely done.

Wow, that really turned out great. Simple, clean, classic... overall excellent!

Did you cut the window by hand with an x-acto, or what?

My friend on here (above) did all the hard work, I just pretty much came up with some ideas for the design.
