    Cool Size17shoe's Official Reed Trading Cards Thread

    Hello SCF, I'm Bryan Giaquinta. Many may know me by size17shoes on here and a few other sites. Since I was quite young I had a dream of starting my own trading card company. I collected heavily up till i was married in 2007. The ex wasn't fond of me spending one red cent on myself, so I had to quit the hobby. Let's just say it was a nightmare marriage. Our marriage ended on a great note with a violent car accident in 2008 that has left me permanently injured. I was off work for three years, working my way back to trying to live a normal life even though I suffered both physical and cognitive injuries. I finally made it back to work in May 2011 to the same place I worked when I was injured, and that was Sears. In 2010, I lost my only brother to an alleged suicide that is still under investigation. The name Reed trading Cards is in his honor. With all the personal situations I've been through the last four years, an opportunity presented itself and I found a passion for something again which was lost during those four years.

    I was on a football social site where you can become friends with current and former NFLers and have established some great friendships with many of them. I have had many phone conversations with these men and they all pretty much said the same to me when it came to sports cards. They never had a trading card made or maybe had one but would like another one to cement their legacies so they are not forgotten.

    That really hit home to me. Who wants to be forgotten? I showed them some of my work done with power point and they asked me to design cards for them. Let me tell you, it's an honor to be asked this and I let them know I work with the greatest card designers on SCF!

    So, you know my back story even though I have basically said too much lol...I want to apologize to anyone I may have offended with my other threads. I am humbled by your views, your responses, and your criticism, both positive and negative. Thanks to all of you designers for keeping me inspired with your great designs. Thanks for the support I have been afforded by many of you, it keeps me going! Cheers!

    Also looking to produce non sports, Olympic, and generally off the wall cards. Keeping my eyes open!

    I recently spoke with artist Luis Diaz from Garbage Pail Kids fame about an art piece he made that is of one of the legends wanting a card made. I really love the piece and he said he would like to see it as a trading card and would lease it to me for a set price.He mentioned to me that he commissions these paintings from between $200-$500 each to paint them for companies such as Topps. Associated Press who owns full rights to the NFL wants around $350 a photo. My only concern is the legend is in a Raiders Uniform, and i won't have licensing from the NFL. So, I will have to find another alternative for the design.

    Found an online printshop that has been getting rave reviews for its prining service at a low cost. The site was GotPrint.com They require you to send files in 350 dpi. I didnt know they went past 300 dpi.

    will trade all of these autographed football cards for a completely original Photoshop non-sports template design, front and back..I wish to have complete ownership of the design and the file sent to me so i may tweak it or add images when needed. must be saved in 300 dpi and cmyk color for printing requirements. If interested, show me some of your work and we will go from there. Thanks kindly! If chosen, we can set this up as a trade, if permitted to do so.
