Interesting what people like and why

Custom cards depicting players that never had a card makes some sense....fills in a team roster type collection. No reason to make it old - that's not it's purpose...

First time I had ever heard the term Broders was a few days and never saw one before today. The idea that those crude Broder cards are anyway akin in artistic merit or anything else to the card at the top of the thread is pretty absurd.

I haven't heard Broders used in a very long time. It was used a lot in the mid-late 80's.

I prefer Card A

As a set builder, I am generally ambivalent about art cards. But, I do have two player collections and have picked up a few art cards for those collections.

While the Banty Reds tend to sell for more than I am willing to pay for an art card, I did manage to snag one for my Johnny Antonelli collection. It is really well done. Nice thick stock and good color and design.

I also have a few Edward Vela art cards in my Paul Blair collection. They aren't as well done as the Banty Reds, but are still attractive cards and I am happy to have them.
