This is a bad idea folks. It's a slippery slope! If people condone this by buying them, it could open up a whole new market of home made cards.
Current technology would allow someone with a little time and talent to produce unlicensed cards via their home computer.
How would you feel about manufactured autographs?

I've actually seen some of these custom cards that look very nice. I could probably produce something that looks pretty professional myself if I wanted to. As far as manufactured autographs, there are tons of manufactured autos on the market, from licensed stuff like bowman to broders to various other not so main stream but licensed cards. I think it's all in the intent of how it's sold.

Your right I would be cool with it long as it was not a brand that makes the real stuff.Or say on the back of the card something that said its not real.

i dont like the idea for selling them, because they could like others have said fall into the wrong hands. but i wouldnt be oppposed to someone making something like this for their own personal enjoyment. but burn them when youre done so they dont enter the market.

I don't think there are any legal ramifications but I am against this. I think some one might by them to try and pass them off a real and make a buck.

In my opinion.....
This is kinda crossing the line into trademark/contract violations. Yes, you bought a card or pulled an image directly off a website to make the card but at the same time...is it your photo? Some one at some point in time took the photo, not you. Also, players are contracted through major card companies to be put on a card. If you go out and make your own cards and sell them, you are making money off of a card that is not technically legal. On the other hand, if you decide to destroy a perfectly good card to put a piece of random cloth into it; that is your deciding. Just don't pass if off as a legit card and make sure that whoever buys it, knows that it is a novelty item...and it should be ok.
It's like teetering on a line that could potentially turn bad.
I have cards on my computer that I made over photoshop, but don't sell them for profit because of that. It's just a spare time thing to me; sorta like a "what could've been" set for me.

I think you could actually do some neat things with those. I don't think there is anything wrong with making them for a personal collection, nor do I think there is anything wrong with making them for someone else's personal collection and selling it to them. I think everyone can agree that the problem is when someone tries to claim that it is something authentic...
I don't know how many of you collect McFarlance action figures, but I am very fond of them. It's been a couple years now, but I saw a guy in California (I believe that's where he was located) who would strip McFarlane figures down, and re-paint them as different players at a customers request. He made an amazing Matt Leinart (Trojans) out of a Michael Vick! Similarly, I think there is nothing wrong with this, as long as the items are not being represented as something that they are not.
The issue, in my opinion, is with honesty more so than it is with the actual item in discussion...
