Homemade vintage BB cards....tell us of your creations ?

I've been trying to duct tape Orlando Cepeda to a large rectangular piece of cardboard for years, but he's surprisingly quick.

Thanks, Jantz, here it is, although I've never printed it, so it's only virtual.



I'm not sure that I would ever print it, especially as Max's card is tough to compete with - that's simply amazing! Nicely done. I'm almost embarrassed to share this next one.

This card is part of a SABR effort detailed in the Feb. 2009 Inside Game (SABR's Deaball Era Committee newsletter - card below reproduced directly from that issue). Cards for hundreds of players have been made, with an intent to someday distribute them to SABR members. Unfortunately, even though the effort is non-profit, it is for now stuck because of very complex MLB - baseball card rights issues. Hopefully this can be eventually resolved.

I can tell you they are very professionally produced and are awesome.

I made this one last year on request.

The "card" on the right was created by a very young man named Tyler. That's the inside back cover of a booklet found in the NYC subway a few years ago. It's a testament to the enduring power of Babe Ruth, even to a five-year-old boy in the 21st Century.

A long time friend and veteran hobbyist, Jack, designed this homemade card of me.
Jack presented it to me at my 70th birthday party.

Who created the Joe Jackson T206 proof a couple years back? That was a lulu. Would love to see it again.

Thanks for letting us know what this was. On first blush I thought it was an autographed Ruth photo from a Coaches Corner auction.
