Custom Cuts - Legendary Nicknames and Diamond Classic Signatures


Here are two on my latest styles of custom autograph cut baseball cards. While these are the Photoshop mock-ups, the actual cards are very similar - only about 110pt thick (about the thickness of a patch card).

The Stan Musial, Cool Papa Bell and Hank Aaron (not shown) are being created for someone on special order, while the the Diamond Classic Signatures are for my personal collection. 

The Diamond Classic Signatures "set" has approximately 20 different players currently and it is continually growing as I acquire more and more 3x5 cuts.

Some of the players include: Riggs Stephenson, Babe Herman, Dick Porter, Hank Bauer, Stan Hack, Bucky Walters, Bill Nicholson, Wally Berger, Frank Saucier, Doc Cramer, Ed Bailey, etc.

One of the great things about doing custom cards of players from the past...it's a great way to learn more about baseball's history and some of its forgotten stars.

Of note, all of my custom card cards have full fronts and backs with brief bio information and career stats.

  1. Cool site! Got your comment too. The Astros and Angels (well, pretty much all teams) are spoken for.

    Not sure how I'm going to handle it going forward, but I'm toying with the idea of splitting up some of the rosters (since we could conceivably have 40+ cards on each team). Would anything like that interest you, picking up a few (possibly the more obscure) players here and there?
