    The Road to Finding and Creating the Perfect Product: Base Card Preview + Checklist!

    It's been a few days, but I've been attempting to perfect the base card design, and I think I've come up with a very solid front of the card design. I've come up with a very solid checklist in my mind located here, feel free to critique it/let me know what you think of it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...YcFEtLXc#gid=0

    As for what you've been waiting for... here is the base card design template:


    Although it seems plain at first, the orange would be bevelled a bit, and the silver font would be engraved as well as the card using foil.

    Here is the parallel I have come up with called the Team Colours Parallel, featuring a colour from the teams logo as the foil, but am debating on whether or not to number these.

    Solid looking stuff. If the Islanders items get created physically, let me know. I'd buy a team set including rookies as well as a couple extra Ullstroms.

    Great base checklist and AWESOME design. It seems like Panini found a bit of success numbering the base parallels /99. That wouldn't be bad for these. :)

    I'm excited to see the rest.

    Typical card company. No Kronwall in the checklist :). Only the most popular defensemen (and best now) on the most popular US team in NHL. Looks nice though!

    Looks good so far i really like the idea of having the foil the colour of the logo coloured foil i think IMO makes a card look different and unique one of my favourite cards is the 10/11 French YG /25 the red foil really stood out curious to see what you do with rookie's

    Thanks for sharing

    I don't have the resources/money to make them lol. Maybe eventually!

    Thanks! And I will probably do that!

    Hence why I wanted feedback, look again

    Yeah, I really liked that idea, I'd like to see it live!

    It's a mix between that and Limited I think, but yeah, fairly close!

    Love the inclusion of Hjalmarsson, but you need a Derek Whitmore RC in there...
