blase Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 A while back, just for fun (so sad really), I recreated some of the old Rugby League cards I use to collect as a kid with updated players. Just done the same with bball so thought I'd show them to you all.Here's the League one for interest sake:OriginalMine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC2 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Wow, those are incredible! What program did you use to make these? Fast. Hard. Finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoTheo Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Those are sweet, super well done. I think I have/had all of those original cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jartigue23 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I love this! can we get a LeBron and a Wade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blase Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 I love this! can we get a LeBron and a Wade?Yep, it's pretty easy to take requests now that the templates are set up. Can do most sizes, the ones I'm posting are actually reduced from the originals. Can do little ones for avatars too (see mine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharplcd Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I would love a Kobe Bryant avatar one. These are spectacular, great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 you wouldn't by any chance be able to do a james o'connor one with the NRL template (I know it's a different league and sport even). If it's too much don't worry about it but it would be great if you could do it. My fantasy teams: West Coast Cardinals (WRU), Glasgow Claymores (RLI) (Champions 2012) and Pemberton Foresters (VBL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 For the ones that are based on the Jordan template, a small part of the player should be protruding from the border, like the ball in MJ's right hand.

GMW79 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Wow! These are great! That was the first set I collected extensively. I still remember the best pack I ever pulled: Jordan, Ewing, Dominique Wilkins, and no doubles in the other nine cards.If you have the time, could you do a Steve Nash card?

I guess i could do a little photoshoping. I am aiming for a authenticity. Need to fix up the flag on the USA card too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC2 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Not sure if your meaning to make this like your team template thread where it's open to anyone, but I tried making a Josh Hamilton card based off the 1985 Topps baseball card (Just say if you don't want an open thread and I'll get rid of this) Fast. Hard. Finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I think you got the name font wrong on the Bird/Wade card. A free font called Penyae is much closer to the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knnhrvy16 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Nice work man! If you're still taking requests, may I have Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap please? Just regular sized, thanks in advance! The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.
