"Custom" football cards. Have any of you toyed with this idea?

Was trying to find a set closer to 1919

After a long wait...much too long if you ask me, Ray Guy get's inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I did this 1955T All American of him a few months ago.

You guys are awesome! What you all did with the Halas and Guy photos is outstanding.

Here was my take on Ray Guy a couple of years ago.

I'd love to find a decent college football photo of Michael Strahan.

Bob's Ray Guy is one of my all time favorites.

Some wonderful custom creations here, guys. Bob, as always, I am impressed by your work. I like the idea of making cards for players that were inexplicably left out of a set, or were left out of a set because of an exclusive rights package with one company (like Musial with Bowman, and not Topps). Cooper, the idea of making cards for players that didn't make it to the NFL is a really good one. I'd like to do that for a few players. I'd probably make two, one for an auto to be returned back to me, and one for them to keep. That would be great, too, for baseball players that had an abbreviated career for whatever reason (injury, not getting called up, etc).

I have a few cards coming in the mail that I'll scan in, and start coming up with some ideas. Baseball is where it's at for me right now, so that will be my focus, with the cards from the 70s getting my first attention.

Keep 'em coming guys, the cards you all make are exquisite! Thank you for sharing!!

After 10+ years of making custom baseball and football cards, I've branched out into non-sports.

The initial presentation with backstory and more pictures will appear on my blog Wednesday afternoon, but here's a preview.
