Working with Tanner got me into creating my own custom "Signature Collection" modeled after the 2013 Historic Autographs 1909-13 Originals issue. I cracked an SGC 60 Tinker Portrait and a PSA/DNA Tinker signature to make this jumbo auto card!



I think custom art cards of T206 players is the next phase of collecting, and is tied to the growth of "maker culture." There are a TON of awesome card artists on Instagram right now that people really should be checking out. My latest favorite is Dan Baumfield (@thirdanart). He now does Tik Tok videos of how he makes them, and posts them on IG. Check it out!

Tanner does amazing work. Before I learned how to make customs I had him make a few for me.

Here is a T206 Cobb custom cut card piece I had a fellow member make for me a couple months ago. My favorite player is Wade Boggs and I sent him several 1990 Donruss Boggs cards he used to do the red background.
