custom card completed

you may recall that i took a shot at creating a card for the warhol rose infinite parallel project. gavin from baseball card breakdown commented on that post about a collaboration and soon thereafter i received some cards in the mail.

gavin completed the card that i had begun (i just inserted a bunch of steve garvey's in the background using the image from rose's record breaking hit) and continued the 4192 theme to great effect:

and there's a back!

a 1/1 wripp custom that was printed on the 38th anniversary of hit 4,192. awesome!

of course, gavin had some other customs to share like this mashup between 1988 donruss and 1988 topps

that is stamped on the back

'88 donruss has some pretty decent cards in my opinion, but i didn't always feel that way because of the design. if the right photo is used, the design works. lasorda in his golf cart would work with pretty much any card design, i think.

here's another 1991 fleer "white" border modification 

great to see fernando represented in this project!

i will admit, when i saw this next card it took me a moment to realize what was "off" about it

that's steve garvey's 1986 topps card, of course, but the "padres" text has been "whitened". it was originally the same yellow as the background of the position circle. garvey no longer has to shield his eyes from the bright yellow text!

gavin complete the return with another version of the wripp card, this one including a 1985 donruss design 

super creative and i appreciate the attention to detail with the lowest garvey and the red striping. thanks for completing these cards gavin!
