I've wrapped up my newest custom card creation. My first in the 1967 format and my first (baseball) multi-player feature card.

The "back story" will be posted on my blog about this time on Friday.

By far one of my favorite customs, great work as always Bob!

Great looking card, but for some reason when I saw the word Rockers the first thing I thought of was Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty. I guess I must have thought they added an early '90s WWF forum... :o

I guess I wasn't off topic after all. Apparently there is a Topps postwar card of the Rockers I was thinking of! :D

It's a period term
 
Besides the alliteration, I chose "Rockers" because it was a term that was in the news in the mid-1960s, though much moreso in England. There was a period of biker class warfare in England between the Mods, who wore then-hip threads and rode motor scooters, and Rockers, who preferred Triumphs asnd denims. Got lots of play in the U.S. media, but never really caught on here.

I thought at first it said "Red Sox Rakers" although I don't know if they used the term "raking" in relation to home run hitting back then. It's a great looking card either way! :)

You could do a modern version with Papi and Manny called Red Sox 'Roiders.

Are you a mod or a rocker?

New Red Sox card's a gem,, 3 stooges rules too!
 
I just got the new Red Sox card and a 3 stooges FB card. The RS one's stunning and adds nicely to my 67 binder!
The Stooges card is a gift to my Dr who's a fan, plus has kept me alive and going these last 2 years.
Thank you, Bob! Youre the greatest!
I can't wait to see what is next.
Oh, Bob, Mr. Bob Thing of Skowhegan Maine sends you his best regards!
God Bless,
Billy Hedin and Family!
