Default My first attempt at a card that never was...

Posted By: Zach

Hey...I taught myself some photoshop skills today and this is what came up. I know its not perfect but I think it looks pretty cool. Just So Tobacco Buck Ewing. Please feel free to voice any opinions...again I know it's not perfect but it's my first attempt at "really" creating something in photoshop. Enjoy.

the ultra rare t206 Speaker portrait (with a few cheap reprints next to it),
a Joe Jackson "rookies of 1909" cabinet (one of five different ones), and an Old Judge Wilbert Robinson card, made from a cabinet image supplied by a board member.

they are actual reprints, with the player image based on the bitmap Speaker image to the left. The Jackson cabinet is a scan of a real card I made. The Robinson is just a bitmap, but I made "real" ones as well, which look exactly like the bitmap.

but then I'd have to kill you.

oh, okay - the basic key is having a good color printer and choosing the appropriate "card stock" (8.5 x 11). Duplicate the bitmap image so that when you print a sheet you can simply cut between the images and have the correct amount of border. Try it with b&w draft mode until you get it right.

Photographic thick-stock cards like OJ's are trickier and involve gluing photographic sheets to thicker stock before cutting. Most important: Be careful playing with sharp objects.

Hummm I have a really nice printer but could you explain the OJ making a little more ? Do you print out a page on thick stock with the card then glue that to a thick paper stock let it dry then cut it out ?

It took a long time to perfect the technique, and it's not cheap, so I figure it would be hard for a scam-artist to duplicate. But if I told others how to do it quickly and as cheaply as possible, we would certainly end up with lots of forgeries eventually.

The cards I make would never fool anyone who has ever seen a real albumen card, or even anyone with the sense to 10x their vintage cards, but that still leaves a lot of people who could be duped. If you email your mailing address I will send you some samples.

BTW, I am working on series 4 of the OJ reprints - inspired by John D's desire for a new Corcoran variation. It will probably be Christmas before they're ready.
