IP Project Ideas Needed

[lambeauleap87]

Now that baseball season is in full swing, I've finally started to get going at Columbus Clippers games. Now, in the last two games, I've knocked out all my items for a number of players and am running low on stuff for a number of others.

I'm looking for some good ideas on a project to start or some unique items to get signed that will give me something different and something for the lesser guys. Last night, I took a bunch of photos with my camera that I may turn into photos. Does anyone have any other good suggestions? I was also working on a sign that the team gave away, but it's a pain to take with me, so I'm retiring it...if anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Might even be a reward.

You could cut up some old baseballs and use the covers to create some customs..I've done this with football through the mail...haven't designed to custom yet...but just cut out pieces of the pigskin and I've gotten 4-5 signed by Raiders players I don't have photoshop so my customs would be rather limited.

I'm used 8x10's for team pieces before, but I'm not sure how I feel about trying again.

Interesting idea, but sounds like a lot of work. I'm not too artistic, haha...

I've thought about that, but no one on the visiting team usually sticks out to me. Like it's Syracuse @ Columbus again tomorrow...now that Harper and Moore are gone, no one really sticks out.

just looked up their roster. john lannan sticks out to me.

coach greg booker has junk wax cards out
former major league all star zach duke is on the roster as well as former big leaguers xavier paul, jason michaels, brett carroll, mark teahen

atkins, maya, pena, zinicola, bynum, hoffpauir, johnson, negrych, rivero, and brown also have bowman cards out from various years.....that sounds like an absolute blast to me.

I just print them 4x6...cvs prints 30 for free when you sign up so i just print a bunch of them and get my brother to get them signed while i get cards and stuff. Im up to 13 this year lol

There are some good players, but I don't have any of their cards aside from Duke, Michaels, and Teahen. On top of that, there are ton of dirty dealer-types that need to take a shower that always do the visitors. One of them stole a bat from the dugout during the Pawtucket series.

I know, I really wish I could get down to a game or two, but it doesn't work into my schedule.

I get all my stuff done at Sam's Club, haha...I usually bring a friend with me to games. I get 4x6's for individual players that I may like and team 8x10's for other pieces.

Seriously should they all sign well look at a fun team item like a home plate. Bats are even more fun to get team signed than baseballs as they have more area for the team and the signatures are not so close. One year I bought Reds penants and had the AAA players each sign one. I covered a whole wall with them. Best of luck on whatever you do!
