So, I redid some and added more ... First, my son went into my office with me yesterday evening while my wifey was gone. He has been itching to make some cards, so we made this for him: It is just a base card, not a refractor, because we didn't have time. (MUCH easier to make a base card, instead of a refractor). The others ... after TONS of tries are below. I enlarged the pic, and put an autograph box for later! Green Gold Blue Red Black SUPERFRACTOR!!!! WOWZERS!!!! GOOOLLLLDDDEEENNNN FIIIIIIIREEEEE!!!!! BOOMJUICEAWESOMESAUCEAMAZEBALLSMOJOBAZINGAMEOW!!!! (chuckles) The golden fire one might actually

I've been kind of mia for the past week or two because I'm trying to iron out some details on a large project I'm working on. I took a break from that, and remembered how cool it was to grab a 1993 Finest Canseco refractor for fairly cheap because the seller spelled his name Conseco. It was one of the big card selling companies around too! I was very happy with it, but have always wondered what it would look like if there was a pic of him on the gorgeous green refractor in an A's uni, instead of the

As someone who is fascinated with extra terrestrial ... everything, I have been quite disappointed with the lack of "real" ufo sightings in the past 5 years.  I mean, c'mon folks!  If you are 12 or older, the odds are that you have an HD ready video camera in your pocket at all times.  Lets put the naysayers to rest!  This is your chance!  Unless ... gulp ... there haven't been any visitations.  I still hold out hope! If you can't take a selfie with ET, there are some other cool things you can do with your camera.  For instance

If you are a fan of television like me, you may watch the singing or talent shows, like America's Got Talent.  I don't care how many years it has been on, and how annoying the host / judges are.  There is just something about robotic dancers and people that juggle poodles that sing to me. But then, they have more "cultured" entertainers. Like opera singers.  Or men dressed up as women.  Or men opera singers dressed up as women. I confess, I don't really get that.  I watch in awe and the camera pans from the entertainer during the performance

Not too long ago, I opened myself up to the world of custom cut autographs.  I made these "nAutos" (not-autos) - I thought they came out pretty slick, even though there wasn't a picture of the players on them. It was from this point on, (actually, before this even) that my entire collecting / custom card creation hobby was turned around. Everything that had an autograph on it became a potential 1 of 1 masterpiece in my head! A Mickey Mantle signed ... ANYTHING could be turned into a work of art .... All of the card companies do it...why
