anyone care to write up a step by step tutorial on how to make these A&G cards?

here's how I've been making them

1. find a pic of player
2. using Corel PhotoPaint, cut out the picture from the background
3. with photopaint, go to image, adjust, local equalization
4. using photopaint effect tool, use dodge and burn to the pic
5. open background pic
6. paste your pic onto background
7. adjust size and position of pic pasted onto background
8. using eraser tool, fade the edges of pic with background
9. save pic as jpeg

hope that helps....thanks to BIGGA for the inspiration

One suggestion I would make is After #8 duplicate the blank ginter then put it on top and then cut the middle out of it around your pic that way the people don't look like they are floating.

I have one quick request if you do not mind bigga. Is it possible for you to do a cut autorgraph card for Eliezer Afonzo? I saw one back on Hank Aaron and I would love to have something like that. Here are some pictures that you could possibly use...

If these aren't big enough, that's fine, anything works. Just trying to save you time from searching. Thank you my good friend!

it hurt me to do this one. I bleed Dodger Blue!

I like it, but bigga made me my card and sent it through PM. Thanks for that one though, if I see him in person anymore I'll try to get that signed.

Awesome cards, you guys are on a roll they look swwet, I have done a few more of Jason Varitek, hoping to send off TTM

I like this one of Mike Timlin, reminds me of a Topps Turkey Red Style card

Another one I did of Jason Varitek that I will be sending TTM
