I just made a startling discovery. Bip Roberts played 61 games for his hometown Oakland A's in 1998. I have never seen a card of Bip in an A's uniform. Hint, Hint.
So far I have received two entries for my custom Bip contest. I must say they are both very creative and unusual. I know there are many more custom card makers out there. Punk Rock Paint, Beardy, Big D, Bad Wax and many others I am looking at you. There will be MacFarlane action figures, signed cards and jersey cards available.
Thanks for the reminder, as I may give this a go. I have nowhere near the talent of a lot of the custom guys here, and don't really know how to actually "make" the cards. But I have a lot of free time on my hands right now due to fewer classes, and I'd love to learn how!

ReplyDeleteI've been an A's fan for as long as I can remember... and I never knew he played for the A's. According to Beckett, he's pictured as an Athletic on his 1999 Pacific card #315... however, I don't have that card on hand, so I can't verify they're correct or not.
