Ok, had a huge mail day today! First, with huge help from @34BoJackson16 I was able to put together a few more Custom cards by getting the sticker off another card and putting them on my customs. Patrick was gracious enough to help me put together the Grasu, Braverman and Stone cards below. I also then sent out the first of a new design called Stratosphere, which will focus on Hall of Famers. Harry Carson is my first return of that set, he returned 2/2 customs in 11 days.

That was a fun mail day!

Pulled a HUGE white whale for my Cubs Collection out of the mailbox tonight. I sent 4 cards to Vincente Amor, who pitched in four games for the Cubs in 1955 back in 2011. My envelope came back RTS'd. I saw on another site that another collector had a recent success with him and he graciously shared the address with me. I sent 4 out 30 days ago and Mr. Amor returned 3/4 (K1AO). Awesome return!

Got my second return from the Stratosphere custom set today. John Bucyk signed 2/2 customs. Round Trip was about 22 days.

This is a great thread! Thanks for posting your fun customs! I grew up in LaGrange, and used to work in Oswego, so am familiar with your area in Morris. Glad you are a fan of the Chgo teams, my wife graciously spent quite a few hours in autograph lines with me up there for various Bears from the 1985 Super Bowl XX team, all very gracious signers.

Thanks again for sharing your talents, very cool USFL set (an underappreciated era of football history!) and your awesome vintage Cub and Bear sets too, awesome stuff!

God Bless,

Kevin

Thanks, Kevin. It's been a lot of fun to create these through the years. The USFL was a blast! Still my all-time favorite league. Still working on some new concepts, but I'm enjoying chasing my Chicago teams.
