It’s just a bunch of Baseball players looking at the cards for the first time, and giving their unfiltered opinions on it. We wanted to do something different with these, so hope you guys like.

The Process of Making A Card – Part 1

January 29, 2010 · Filed Under Baseball, NEWS · Comment 

So a lot of the cards I purchase are of former members of the Falmouth Commodores. This summer how ever working with the team and Mike from RedBlackRed.com , we produced a completely original team set of the 2009 Falmouth Commodores. There had only been two team sets of my team in the past, but we were assured that it would be fine for us to produce one this year. The 2006 set included newest Toronto Blue Jay Brett Wallace.

This year we had a few players who had previously had either AFLAC cards (Hunter Morris, Evan Danielli) or cards in the Upper Deck releases of Team USA sets (Hunter Morris, Cecil Tanner), but for many of them this was an opportunity to have their very first baseball card.

The first thing I wanted to make sure we did, and did well was pick out the best photographs of the players possible. Once those were picked out after a day or so Mike got back to me with the proof sheet that will be at the bottom of the various possible designs. You can see the mock ups and the raw image we used.  We are going to end this post here, but this will be a continuing series about the production of my first card set.
