Thanks very much to both of you! Brian, I will see what I can dig up on the LoC website and go from there to let you know what I still need. I really appreciate this! |

Please see the updated post above with the backs I still need. Sorry to bump this, but this project means a lot to me. I've gotten 3 of the backs print ready already and they're coming out great. |

Thank you, Robert unfortunately those are too low quality for my needs. I am in search of the same images/scans in a much higher resolution. |

I have prepared for printing one back for each T206 advertiser (no Ty Cobb!), thank you to those who helped me collect the back scans that I needed, especially you Brian! |

Thanks, they will be exactly 1x scale for this project. You do however pose an intriguing question that gets me thinking about some future projects with larger scaled back advertisements. |

I really like the frame idea you have put together. I love to display my vintage cards. I have a framed print of the Burdick collection from the metropolitan museum of art on one side of my bedroom window, and a display case close to same size as the print on the other side of the window which im attempting to fill with the actual cards the museum has (minus the T206 Wagner, and Lajoie 33 Goudey) However I think a display of the actual card backs framed in a manner like your printouts will be is a goal worth working towards as well. Thanks for the idea, and good luck |

very cool looking Trae - are you printing the backs out on cardboard or thick stock to mimic a real t206 or just on paper. |

Please know I am not encouraging the ever popular Ty Cobb back debate, I am simply posting to let everyone know I've prepared a Ty Cobb back for my xmas gift display. Many thanks to he who helped me acquire a high quality scan - you now who you are. |

Thanks for the interest, appreciation and display ideas. Based on the demand, once I have mine produced and run some QA on it I will get another 10 or so made for you all to purchase. If it's an easy process I will take custom orders - we'll see how that goes. |

unfortunatly if you increase your overall frame size to 70 inches in a particular dimension your going to start running into some problems.. maximum mat and glass sizes stop at 40 X 60.. you could possibly go with a plexi.. but your mat options now become extremely limited.. think Henry Ford saying you can have your car in any color you want as long as its black.. although in this case if your lucky and an oversized mat can be located your only option will be white.. you could splice together two mats but this usually appears tacky and disrupts the image.. so if you want to increase the scale of the t206 display backs, work them out so that they dont go beyond the maximum size possible.. another thing to keep in mind is that when you have your prints made for your display pieces leave plenty of space around their boarders.. generally in custom framing at least an 1/8 of an inch is required for proper matting.. so it may be better for you to leave the cutting to whoever does your framing for you.. as far your dimension of height is concearned some shops have minimum length requirements depending on how they chop their mouldings so hopefully you dont have any issues there, ive seen it be as much as 6-8 inches although some shops will make exceptions.. hope this information helps.. good luck with your project.. as a former custom framer i look forward to seeing it.. |

Hi Barry, I probably went too far on trying to convey my thoughts here. I think final framed production pieces are going to be the only thing worth selling with regard to this project. 3-D Modelng isn't my strongsuit, but I threw together a crude mock up of a typical framed example... the main thing I want to illustrate is the fact that each card is printed separately. I have one Photoshop file for each card. I imagine the process being: |

So, I am running into a problem... I can't find thick enough card stock to print these on. I'm thinking 200lb would be adequate, but I don't know enough about it to say for sure. Regardless I have been to Staple's, Michael's and Wal-Mart and the most I've been able to find is 110lb which is too whimpy to mimic a T206 in thickness. I am sure it's obvious the interest in this project has turned semi-commercial but I would still appreciate help if anyone knows much about paper and where I cna purchase thick enough stock for this project. |

I've just dropped off the files at the printer. I had a hard time finding a printer with 15pt/160lb paper required to print these thick so they would be "card like". I will be picking them up next Wednesday at the latest. When I receive them I will then put up an order form online for those of you who wish to purchase the loose sets. They're going to be $16 per set of 16 (1 of each back) and $2 to ship for First Class Mail so $18 total per set - shipped. |

Trae, put me down for two sets. But are you cheating yourself on the shipping and packaging costs at $2. I know we will all be willing to pay a bit more to ensure safe flight thru the mails. |
