Thanks for the comments! Nowhere near what you guys put together, but maybe I'll get there one day.
I put together some Dodgers cards to get signed ip this year, (hotel security got me though).

I'm trying a few designs out for a Hall of Fame set. Looking for something classy enough to hold some nicer cuts though.

55 Dodgers design. I have always loved that Schaefer Beer ad. The ad is 3D that puts together like a puzzle and is really neat. With a little photoshop on the frame I think it makes a great cut design.

If you don't mind sharing, what kind of paper did you use for the binding/ cover of your booklets?

**jdl7860** · 09-04-2013, 03:12 PM

Sure,
I found a scrapbook "paper" at Wal Mart (I'll have to let you know what brand when I get home). It comes in 18"x18" sheets and almost has a plastic feel to it. Well, maybe a bad description, its paper like on the front and back but it looks like ti has a very thin middle membrane. Anyway, it has a bit of spring to it, and folds perfectly and really holds an edge.
Thanks

I was thinking about doing a World Series and doing one card for every game using a ticket from that game.

I like collecting tickets, just something neat about the designs and history behind a certain day in time. I think the make great cut auto designs also.

Crummy scan, but this is a design that I am using for a set of "Golden Age" players.

An awesome board member Tanner (paratan21) designed a Hall of Fame set for me and it has been great. They are printed on the best quality linen paper that I can find and coated at least five times with gloss. The first few that I did did not have the gloss and it really makes the glossy ones stand out.
