That card looks pretty sweet, though I never really understood putting the 1/1 on a custom card.

Not bad at all. It could have used a multi-colored patch piece though instead of 3 plain jersey pieces.

I think the card looks very nice but I have never been a fan of destroying cards to make other ones.

Now that Rickey is going to be a hofer he is doing a lot more autograph signings. Why not make it an on card auto?

Not that I don't Like it because I do I just think it would look better signed on card. Whatever design you come up with the rose will look a thousand times better then the original because those prime cuts are ugly. Nice cards.

I agree, very UGLY...and when i bought it, i had the intention of cutting it...i know what you are saying, i don't know why people buy mays and aarons cuts and bandaids when on-card are available...in my case, it will save a little money using cut autos.

I really like your work! Are they hard to make?

I am no way the artist...i guess you missed the other threads...we have one guy on this board that makes them..here's a sample if you want to contract him...(the others were made by knuckles from the psa boards).

Who is the "artist" behind these? They are AWESOME (the individual really should contact several of the card company's & show them his creation's). :D

Ohhh okay gotcha! He designed the Razor/FCB card's I think? Anyhow, great work & cool idea of you to do those (I'm not a fan of tearing up card's though, but eh). :D

I have been thinking about making some customs myself. Id probably use index cards that i have signed. Im not sure about game used yet.

My only suggestion for you would be to not put "1/1" on the cards, especially not on the front.
