I love customs!
I started doing customs for college stars that never made it to the pros or had a card. I love sending them ttm for autos and often get great responses from the player for extra cards. Printing can get expensive if you do a lot of them, but man, these are so much fun. And one of the best parts is that there is no financial aspect (they will not make you rich), no questions about whether or not it is real (it's not) or if it's trimmed (it is). Its just pure hobby fun.
I also like doing custom cut auto cards, it's a fun way to display cut signatures and a lot cheaper than buying regular factory made cut auto cards.

Cooper- Those are fantastic! I love the "Showboat" Boykin, 7 TDs and all! What no K.O. Dottley? Even a Razorback fan can appreciate the Ole Miss stars,

I have a very, very small touch of Razorback in me, my parents live in Little Rock. I do pull for them more in baseball though for some reason. I just got these back last week.
  Kayo is one of my favorites though. I grew up next door to his sister and would see him from time to time.

Nice stuff guys. Anyone want to design a 1935 National Chicle Red Grange? Think that would be a very cool card. Anyway, i think this is becoming a very neat subset of collecting. There are so many players who never had a card and this is a neat way to do that, and also a neat way to take your favorite player and add them to your favorite set. Well done. Keep em coming

I tend to concentrate on baseball customs this time of year, but I recently got inspired to add a couple of cards to my 1955 All-American "Update" set after watching a documentary on ESPN about the 1951 San Francisco Dons.
Matson, O front.jpg Toler, B front.jpg This makes 161 cards I've done in the '55AA style in some 8-10 years. I've also worked up a 1954 Bowman-style of the late, great Chuck Noll.

This is a fun niche of the hobby and I feel like we kinda owe it Bob for what he has done. He has always been very helpful. Thanks Bob!
