My "Creative" Solution to Improving Signed Blank 8x10s

[cyberer]

I'm sure if you graph long enough, you have run into a guy that you didn't have anything for and got him on a blank. It happened to me last night with John Lynch, a great player that I respect. I wanted to get him on a better item than just a blank.

Here is the blank I got him on.





My idea was this. When I make custom NBA floorboards, I get the signature on the floorboard and then print a photo on an adhesive label paper and cut it out with a scissors, in effect making a sticker. The sticker then gets stuck to the floorboard. The end result looks like this:




I thought to myself, why not do that for a blank? I know some people like to print over blanks, but I don't like to do that. So I decided to try this. I found a photo of lynch online and cut it out on the label paper, and stuck it on. Here is the end result:






Thoughts? I think it came out really well.


The story of the graphing itself can be found in my thread:

That signature worked well with your solution and looks great. Many other signature locations may not have worked as well. I love some of the cut signature cards that other members have built in the custom cards area as a solution.

what's the point of getting blanks signed if you don't print them? that literally defeats the entire purpose

I understand not printing full pics over graphs, but why not just print that photo on the blank? you wouldn't be printing over the sig. I'd be afraid that the adhesive will curl over time
