April 27, 2013 Terry Fox ......It Took A Year

Got a nice surprise in the mail box today when I got a return from a TTM request I mailed out about the same time last year.........

Terry Fox
Mr Fox pitched for the Milwaukee Braves, Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies in the 1960s. I'll guess that my request got lost inside Mr Fox's house as he is usually a quick signer. He also added 3 custom cards of his own and asked for copies of my cards.

Monday April 22, 2013 Team Cards

Keith from NYC wanted some cards made of the 1962 Colt 45s team and the missing 1968 Topps team cards.

As I was making the Colt 45s card, I figured I should make a team card of the 1962 Mets too. The problem is I could not find a color Mets team photo, everything was in black and white. To solve that problem I used Photoshop to colorize a black and white team photo and use it to make the card.......

COLOR THE PHOTO AND REMOVE THE BACKGROUND

DROP THE TEAM PHOTO ONTO THE TEAM CARD TEMPLATE.........VOILA

Since I was on a team card kick I started making 1969 team cards.......

I copied the colors used on the regular cards......though I think the Cincinnati Reds with a blue front looks weird. I may have to change that......
