Rob D.One of the coolest things the Strat-o-Matic company ever did was offer personalized player cards. You'd send them your name, position and the vital offensive numbers, along with running ability, bunting ability, etc., and they'd send you a game card based on your info. I sent my stats from my best minor-league season and added myself to the Indians rosters of the late 1980s. Too cool.
I think they stopped offering that service pretty quickly after they started, I'm guessing because it wasn't all that profitable creating one-of-a-kind cards. I think the price was less than $10.
