rmered Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've done front only versions of the Aussie Rules ones, which were based on the Topps ones.I never bothered doing the backs because ours were always a large photo from the Grand Final (playoff) which you only completed once you had the entire set.So each back was a different part of the photo Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Brooks Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 The bottom right one is almost identical to the 1977 football (NFL) design. Were they the same 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" size of the American cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyraven8 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Did one front of a hockey card a few years ago using MS Paint, some sort of online imaging editor to make it transparent, and maybe some other considerably older programs. Edited an online image of the front of a 1979-80 OPC hockey card. Used a Nordiques card because that was the shirt I was wearing when photographed during that annual ball hockey game.Also, here is a ticket I made for souvenirs for this year's game.I'll post any other cards I make if they are a considerable improvement on my 1st attempt from years ago, or if I clean up the 1st attempt and add the back of the card.

I'll go back and fix some and probably add descriptions to the flickr page and eventually upload some of the PSD's to Deviantart (at some point.) but otherwise that's it.

MojoRoberts Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 This Idea is fantastic, it takes me back to collecting cards as a kid. I agree with the previous post about adding some effects to the photos to make them appear more vintage. Overall it is a really cool project. http://boards.sports...-league-hockey/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Brooks Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm going to try and clear it with Topps first. That way I don't get attacked by a hoard of angry flying monkeys (lawyers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The bottom right one is almost identical to the 1977 football (NFL) design. Were they the same 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" size of the American cards?Yes, exactly the same.I made mine in Illustrator, and have not saved the text as outlines, so you'd need a few fonts.I am not sure which you will need but I am reliably informed they are amongst these:http://www.mediafire.com/?9lxjq4oeeaq97hbhttp://www.mediafire.com/?f2mtmmbzhoe805shttp://www.mediafire.com/?5arzb2myd5k34r9http://www.mediafire.com/?x42nvbou0akx6cuHowever, the template are here:http://www.mediafire.com/?n6yako8jjz9im9mAgain, these are only the front, because the Aussie Rules football cards did not have a standard design on the back.

Darth Brooks Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 I sent an email to Topps and evidently they really could care less wut about wut.So here they are. I'm going in reverse order a few at a time.1990 Topps (Chris Kluwe) http://www.mediafire.com/?g46xuy1s408qmnu1989 Topps (Chris Cook) http://www.mediafire.com/?sybp7w77e06jf6aIf you need some fonts then use Google.

Darth Brooks Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 More. I got lazy and just copied over the card I made rather than striping out personalized information. I did get ride of the photos although It's easy to see where they go.1985 Topps football http://www.mediafire.com/?16wo321iaavzl4b1986 Topps football http://www.mediafire.com/?fbbbfw3926cxbrf1987 Topps football http://www.mediafire.com/?ezq19xe6tmrz2au1988 Topps football http://www.mediafire.com/?6c4dxaf89quc9hu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Brooks Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I noticed this in another thread so decided to do something about it.During the 60's Topps had a very lazy or intimidated photographer. Five times they used the same photograph for Joe Kapp, keeping him in a green uniform even when he was on the Vikings.I decided to fix it (somewhat) Here are remakes of the 1968 & 69 cards, showing Joe as he should have / could have been at least for the time he was on the Vikings. I hope you enjoy them.1968 Joe Kapp card Remade by Darth_Brooks_, on Flickr1969 Joe Kapp card Remade by Darth_Brooks_, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
