Great TTM custom idea! Handmade work inside!!

[thenext54]

So I have been playing with an idea for some custom cards. I made a few prototypes and this is my latest version of this idea.

The card is constructed of images printed on transparencies that are placed over the top of a cutout piece of foam board. The foam has a slit in the top.

This is how the process would work:

Pic 1 - send specifically sized piece of cardstock TTM for the Auto. (this is not a real Colt McCoy Autograph)

Pic 2 - When you get it back, you can slip the cardstock into the top of the design piece.

Pic 3 - Fully designed shadowbox containing the Autographed cardstock

Comments are welcome!

Here is another version I made earlier. Using a similar process as the last custom, but with some generic jersey inserted.

With hand-cutting all the elements, these are taking roughly 45mins to an hour to assemble.

Very cool.....don't know if I could find the time to make too many like this. But it looks great.

Pretty cool idea. I made some similar a while back. Here was my idea from back in the day:

RockiesFan: those look great!

I am hoping to get a few of some Colts players actually signed

I love the idea of the jersey swatch auto.

Great idea, until someone tries selling one on fleabay.

Great idea, until someone tries selling one on fleabay.

they dont have any company markings or claims to authenticity. I dont see how this is a problem. people have to do their research

I might try to sell a few and I will clearly state that they are custom. If someone is willing to pay for it, then that is their decision
