I Created a New Trading Card Product Line!

That's really interesting.

Question: what is the nature of your materials? Are they archival safe quality? Many regular adhesive products are highly acidic and/or will break down over time and lose their adhesion, leaving a brown stain. Have you considered this and dealt with it or disclosed to the buyers that the items they insert into these cards may not be secure for the long term?

There is nothing of mine that I offer that will stick to any of your pieces. The back is the only adhesive sticker type of item, and that sticks to the back of the frame piece.

At first I wasn't really enthused but after seeing some autographs matched up with pictures I think you've got a winner!

Thanks Bruce! Everything I've tried with this so far, I've been super happy with how they've turned out.

I think this is a PHENOMENAL idea. The design is timeless, and the customization aspect offers something I haven't seen before in the hobby. You have multiple avenues you can follow with this product (mentioned previously was the Little League idea).

I might have to get 1 or 2 of my grandpa and maybe uncle, who played in the minors in 1940 and 1939 respectively. I have originals and scans of newspaper photos, team photos, etc. of their playing days.

You have something here, my friend. Good luck!

You mentioned Jose Canseco in you website, we both play senior softball. I'm in an older division so my team hasn't played him.
It looks as if we might be in the same class next month in Tampa.

Definitely signatures are doable, but you can also use a swatch of a shirt, or similar. Someone just picked up a kit and is planning on doing that very thing.

Thank you very much! The beauty of it is that you can scan ANYTHING you want to resize and fit if it is a picture.

That's very cool! I am a Canseco super collector and was on the cover of Beckett with him last year. My site to show off my collection is at www.cansecocollector.com
