Ok, how's about this one. Just pretend it's your favorite school instead of my favorite school.

Not to toot your horn but, you should send these to Topps or Upper Deck. They need card designers with imagination.

Thanks man. And not to toot my own horn, I'm not doing this to toot my own horn. :D ;) I'm a collector and it's good to know what other collectors think about the designs, because I still have the dream! :oops:

The GU relic card is wicked cool looking. This is a very polished looking set. Great work.

I really like the design of the patch card except for the location/size of the faded auto area. Aside from that, I think it is definitely a success

That Webb patch would be awesome and I really like the design.

But come on redemptions!? ;)

VERY nice design. That cut-out paw print patch looks really sweet!

The only thing I would change is the 1/1 numbering on the auto cards, IMO it gets lost up there.

Re: OPINION POLL: Fantastic or Fail #2 Original Design

Again Beautiful technique, but I'm not a fan of the empty right border either. It looks like another card should be placed along the other side to create a panoramic card.

How'd you render the bubble gum? :lol: :lol:

Re: OPINION POLL: Fantastic or Fail #2 Original Design

Only thing I would change is the location of the player's name. I would rather be able to read it without tilting my head while looking at the card rightside up.

I'd like to add that the text itself is a little hard to read.

Re: OPINION POLL: Fantastic or Fail #2 Original Design

I love the design except for these two things
.The faded area on the base cards (would be very easy for someone to fake autographs)
.The faded area has lines running through it which looks kinda weird imo.

Redemption would only be for the Framed plate sets.

All 4 plates in a nice actual frame. Can't actually put that in a pack. Searchers would be breaking glass left and right!

Re: OPINION POLL: Fantastic or Fail #2 Original Design

You could fake an autograph on any card and they are designed for auto seekers. That's what the faded area is for. Only packed otu auto's would be the alumni which would be certified.; and if there were auto's of current players, they too would be certified.

I appreciate the advice.

Re: OPINION POLL: Fantastic or Fail #2 Original Design

Those are awesome!

Do you remember a UK baseball player who's first name is Russ? I don't know his last name, but he played (and roomed) with Joe Blanton, and played with John Shelby.

Great work!!
