Showing off a custom cut signature booklet - Steinbrenner

[bbcard1]

I think it looks great! Good choices IMO to make combine some uninteresting pieces into something top notch.

This is an instance where the card looks better than the original item. I don't think you can really make the argument that a polaroid is a unique one of a kind relic here.

I think a Polaroid is, by its very nature, a unique one-of-a-kind relic. It may not be fine art, but the format is instantly recognizable and appreciated by many collectors.

I think what david is getting at is that perhaps a different cut could have been used without destroying a one-of-a-kind piece (whether you have emotional attachment to it or not). I actually thought the same thing when I saw it, that the finished piece looks nice, but could have been just a little nicer (in my opinion) if a cut from a 3x5 or other solid white medium had been used instead of something that has the break between solid white and color photograph background at an awkward angle in relation to the rest of the card.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a very neat and attractive assemblage, and seeing the process is interesting to me as well. If you asked me "what one thing would you have done differently" though, that's it.

Of course it's a "unique one of a kind relic." There is absolutely no other identical photo, nor are there any copies of it. That's the nature of a polaroid.
