I got into custom cards from seeing his blog years ago, i have hundreds that i have made but never figured out the right materials to print them out on.

RIP Bob

Bob helped me on materials for the fronts of 50s-70s cards. Then soon afterwards the company quit making it.

The materials differ quite a bit depending on the era you are trying to recreate. Try to find a hobby/print supply store that will sell single sheets and try stuff till you find something you like.

Nice, i found a ton of info in the OOTP forums on uniforms and oddball photos as well as fonts, always loved his cards though.

Recently I was working on random Pioneers and Negro League players in modern topps designs

Those are nice. I don't use Photoshop either, just what came free on my computer(mainly Paint). I am too cheap to by Photoshop.

I have a old Postcard back I put on most of my custom stuff.
