I was commissioned to create a ton of Chevy Chase cards to be signed. They were then used as chase cards for the 35th anniversary boxes they sold on his site. They sold out quickly! Some of the cards included embedded pieces of player-worn or movie-used pieces.
This Dolly Parton custom is something I created recently. I love how it came out!
It was an honor to create this Albert Einstein custom. It was later sent to BGS to be slabbed.
This Lou Gehrig card has a twist to it. The owner found out that the paper was signed by his wife (IIRC, she would sign while he was going downhill). Rather than scrap the signature altogether, I suggested we do a fun card featuring both Lou and his wife.
As a Star Wars NUT, my son Atticus loves when I get Star Wars pieces in. This one was no exception!
I LOVE how this Mays turned out! Not long after I created it, he passed away. It has been a rough year for baseball fans.
Custom Mel Blanc in a custom slab I created!
How about this heavy hitting historical figure? This was later sent to BGS to be slabbed.
How can I go a year without creating a card of Shohei Ohtani? The baseball I used is just a regular baseball. Nothing special, but boy did it turn out purty!
Have I told you how much I love creating Babe Ruth cards? This one is certainly no exception!
Speaking of Ruth, I created this booklet of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth - along with game used pieces harvested from cards of theirs.
Love her or hate her, Taylor Swift is probably the most famous current singer today. Someone cut themselves and bled on a signed cover. He sent me the cover, and I created this beauty with it. Signature saved!
If there is a more polarizing figure today than Donald Trump, I don't know who it would be. Whenever I post one of his pieces, my number of followers fluctuate (in a bad way) but so does my engagement (in a very good way.) I've done several this year, and here is one of them! The PSA label was embedded in the back.
Custom Taylor Swift in a custom slab - this time with a concert-used pick. A pick that was accidentally delivered elsewhere. Thanks to some sleuthing a buddy did, I was able to track down where, drove to the house it was delivered at, and picked it up!
This Mike Tyson probably garnered more attention than any other card I created this year. I was commissioned to create several of this commemorating the fight he had with Jake Paul. It includes a piece of the canvas, and Iron Mike's signature!
How about a Tom Brady custom featuring sand from where he gave his retirement speech?
A handful of customs I created outfitted in custom slabs. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves, Dave Grohl, and Robert Downey Jr. I should probably show them more up close, but good heavens, do I love how they came out!
Another Babe Ruth! This time with a signed baseball.
