Way back in 2017 I made a custom card of Leon Everitt and asked an autograph dealer I had done business if he could get it signed for me. He said yes and we began a business arrangement. I would make cards for him, if it was a Padres player I would supply them for free and he would get one signed for me. Other players he paid me. These are the first nine I made. I often did actual cutting and pasting back then and I used Publisher (which I still do). I hope that you will see that I improve as we go. I am on my second series now, I capped the first series at 500 and am now up to 387 cards in series 2. I have gone beyond just baseball players to celebrities, authors, governors and more.
At this point most of the cards were request from the autograph dealer.
I have the Van Kelly and Leon Everitt signed and made a cut of the John Sipin card.
Very cool. I used to make my own customs but it got to be too time consuming and I was waning off TTMs and IP autographs. It's possible I may start back up though.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI really like how the wood-grain border contrasts with the black and white photo on that Rupe Toppin card!
ReplyDeleteLike Matt... I like the use of the B&W photo on the '62 custom... as well as the 69's.
ReplyDeleteThese are cool, I've had the chance to see Rod's customs up close and they do not disappoint!
