I split the baseball card discussion into it's own thread so these don't get lost in the shuffle

Thanks!

So how do you guys go about making these?

I spend a lot of time at work playing around on Photoshop and I'd love to practice on this stuff.

Awesome card. I really hate that mustache.

I just reinstalled photoshop tonight after not having it on my laptop for awhile. But I've been going to google image search, finding the largest image I can find of the card I want, then going through and basically making a template. I'll remove the player photo, remove the name and place the right background where its supposed to be, then start writing information. Then I'll do the BLB photo, remove the background, and find another background online that fits for the card.

That was my first thought. What is with that mustache.

He's 26....with a gray mustache.

I have to work on the lettering a bit in the name, I think I'm missing a plugin.

An Abe card would be sick.

Awesome!

A Provencia or Hiraki would be sweet if you have the time.

Tardif's rookie card would be much appreciated. It could highlight the IL Refreshing New Brew.
