Ha! You should have made his 1961 Topps hatless so he would fit in!

Topps should hire you. They use the same 5 images, or so it seems, on every Trout card
Nice work!

Really cool. I love the fact that you've put it in a binder.
You could even go back and create variations for kicks (White letters, blackless, NNOF, Desert shield stamping (if you can do that)... I used to feel that customs were going to mess up the hobby, but honestly they have more of a personal touch that the hobby has lost with Topps printing left and right. Do you date your cards or add your own signature/logo somewhere on the back?

Those are awesome. And you did a great job selecting photos that seem to be similar to photos that were used on those year cards.

Thanks! I definitely make an effort to stay away from action shots on the early ones, etc. It's really hard to find posed shots obviously. Swinging, fielding a grounder. No real reason to take those anymore. The 62 specifically, it looked just like Mantle's picture so I used the same background.

Thanks. I've thought about all the different variations. I have a similar project with Rickey Henderson. I made a 58 white letter for him. I don't leave any marks identifying that I made them. The more indistinguishable the better I feel.

Thanks for the kind words everybody! It's really appreciated. I got sick of waiting for next year's Heritage so I made the All-Star Set. https://imgur.com/a/leutv
