[paratan21]

I may be able to make something like that. PM me for what you were thinking of in detail.

Dang, man- I thought I did ok making customs until I looked at tis thread. Those are great. What do you use to design those, and how long would you estimate it takes you to make a card? Great stuff.

[paratan21]

Thanks a lot! I use Photoshop, it's like second nature to me because I've been using it since I was 12. The majority of the time is making the actual template or design for a card, and that can take anywhere from thirty minutes to a couple hours. Once that's done though, it usually takes me about ten minutes per card, less if I don't have to cut out the player, but most of my designs require that.

New design I'm trying, based my inspiration on a HOF baseball card coming out with Nat'l Treasures, but tweaked the design to my liking. The signature would go above the line above the name.

how do you make your customs

[paratan21]

I do the majority of my work on Adobe Photoshop, but sometimes if I need a vector I'll go through Adobe Illustrator.
