Hi there everyone, thought I would show off a few home made cards that I've done. Looking for something new as the money is very tight and can't buy anything to add to my collection. So I made a few of these up, so far I've done mainly Essendon and a couple of Geelong ones.

These are a set I call High FLyers, obviously based on high marking:

These are my version of logoman cards, I will replace the printed logo with an actual sewn patch.

These next ones are Father-Son cards. I have also done cards for the Abletts and for the Hawkins, but they're not seen here.

THe next lot are an AFL version of the NBA's timeless Memories cards. I made 8 different ones of Paddy Ryder and posted them to him to get him to sign them. As part of the accompanying letter I said if he would like to keep any he was more than wlecom to it. He obviously liked them as he kept 3 and sent me back 5 signed in Silver Sharpie. I still have to put a Border on, with any future ones of these I will do that first because he signed very close to the edge.

Let me know what you think, or if you have any other ideas for "Timeless Memories" Cards
 
I'm a mad Hawks man and it's hard for me to say this but they look pretty sweet, the high flyers with the two Hawthorn step ladders need replacing :p The Logo idea is awesome but the father & son and the #1/1 card designs are my favourites.

Father & Son which I stole from the net but they left out Peter & Paul Hudson, Mel & Campbell Brown, the Rioli's & Iron Man & Lethal Leigh Matthews of the Hawks which are the only one's I can think of at the moment.

They are very nice!
Well done on the designs and the Paddy autos are great!

How did you manage to print them out,
are they on cardstock like the actual cards?
 
I couldnt help but come into a conversation about custom made cards (even though i dont collect AFL cards). Very nice job on the cards mate:thumbsup: pretty good for AFL cards :whistle::thumbsup:

Heres some i did and got signed: (they are about double the size of an average card)

They're really nice mate. Just developing my skills so I'm not there yet but they look awesome. Did you get them sign IP or TTM?

I got them signed IP at a training session :). Players were asking me about them when i got them signed :lol: :cool:
