I used to do original MMA artwork, and my business cards were trading cards with different paintings on the front. I have some of these that I'd be willing to trade for some of the new MMA cards coming out, especially autographs. I have very limited quantities of the autographed cards available (5 or less of each!) In addition to the autographs pictured, I've got autos of Duane BANG Ludwig, Shonie Carter, and Dennis Davis available. The entire set is 45 cards. I've only got 1 or 2 complete sets left, but lots of singles.

Please note, I am no longer doing MMA artwork so the business info on the back of the cards is irrelevant, but I thought people might like some of these for collectibility still.

In addition to the cards, I've got 8.5x11" prints of many of my paintings available, and I'd even be willing to part with some of the originals (though I'd probably need some cash for that.) You'll have to ask for specifics on the prints and originals. Some autographed prints I have available include Tanner, henderson, Leben, Lindland, Elvis Sinosic, Bas Rutten, BANG Ludwig.

With the new Topps set coming out, I thought I'd give this idea another try. I also have some hockey cards I'd trade, though most are from 98-02 with very few newer than that.

For the record, I've had a few people tell me that people are hesitant to pick up these autographs because there's no 'proof' that they are authentic. And I can't do much about that, but I can tell you how I got them.

About 5 years ago before MMA really got huge, I was working out a little bit at Team Quest and would see and talk to the Team Quest fighters all the time. It was very easy for me to get most of the fighters to sign my artwork, and in most cases I made some sort of a trade for them (some of my original paintings were displayed in the Team Quest gym at the time).

I got the autographs of the following Team Quest fighters during that time: Couture, Lindland, Henderson, Tanner, Leben, Schultz (card only), Dennis Davis (card only). In addition, Bas Rutten and BANG Ludwig came for a visit to the TQ gym so I got them to sign a select few. Elvis was nice enough to sign then when I mailed them to him. elvissinosic.com still has a little pic of my painting up there, though my art website is no longer valid.

Here is a pic of me and Randy Couture after he signed the prints.

Ok, I have to ask - what are you looking for on the Henderson & Couture?
