Mike Trout custom project

Thanks. I've thought about all the different variations. I have a similar project with Rickey Henderson. I made a 58 white letter for him. I don't leave any marks identifying that I made them. The more indistinguishable the better I feel.

You could even go back and create variations for kicks (White letters, blackless, NNOF, Desert shield stamping (if you can do that)...

I used to feel that customs were going to mess up the hobby, but honestly they have more of a personal touch that the hobby has lost with Topps printing left and right. Do you date your cards or add your own signature/logo somewhere on the back?

Very cool!

Thanks for the kind words everybody! It's really appreciated. I got sick of waiting for next year's Heritage so I made the All-Star Set. https://imgur.com/a/leutv

I don't see a 67 Topps in there. Did I miss it?

[scott6649]

Nope. You're right. 67, 68 and 73 are the missing ones. I've made fronts for them, just haven't gotten around to the backs yet.

This is one of the best things I’ve seen here! Great work!

"Those are awesome. And you did a great job selecting photos that seem to be similar to photos that were used on those year cards."

I want to second this. Really good job with set-appropriate photo selections. I'm pretty sure I remember pulling that 86 card from a pack thirty years ago.
