NEW recruit cards coming SOON...

I've been playing around with some new card layoutsfor the 2007 recruiting class at Bama. Should be a card set of about 25 or 30 players and will be available by A-DAy for anyone that wants a set. I'm looking at using elephant skin print along with other features to enhance them. I'll be at the 2 practives before the A-Day getting my Team ball signed and handing out cards to the players. If you interested in the recruit cards , let me know.

custom cards and autographs

The custom cards where born from a need I saw last yeat in getting things signed at football games and signing events. I collect a whole lotta things and i didn't need 100 footballs , jerseys and mini helmets lying around my house. Although I enjoy all of those , you really can't display all of them properly and enjoy them.

I've been collecting autographs in some form for over 20 years and have 3-4 thousand signed items from posters to toys. The idea of having one more large signed item scares me. I hope to have that Namath jersey signed , but I also want a Lance armstrong and other sports items signed as well. What happens if my son goes to LSU instead of alabama and I don't have that Billy Cannon signed item for a graduation present....hummm.

I found that many of the true collectors out there where getting trading cards signed , but didn't really have anything for the current players to get signed. So the idea was born.

White Panel Balls

I wanted to post a quickie about the lack of white panel ball out in the world. A good friend of mine and I searched last year at hibbetts for the NIKE logo balls to get signed at the games. It was like looking for the holy grail . Either they had been purchased or they never get any in.
Anyway , I found a site through another friend that has white panel logo balls for only 14.95 and FULL sized helmets for on 75.00. Considering the NIKE balls where 20.00 at hibbetts it's a pretty good deal. Check out my links and check them out. There also good people.

All around the SEC

If you check out the SENIOR BOWL rosters for both North and South you'll find a great mix of colleges. I was able to create all of the cards over a two month period and only missed the last 5 additions. The SEC is well represented and besides getting blanked in the game , they where some of the best players there. Here are a couple more cards that I got signed from the SEC:

Patrick Willis was a great guy in person and will be a top round draft pick in the draft.

He signed it to my two year son, Mason. Mason is the reason for doing all of this. I have been collecting autographs and any number of other things from animation cels to classic toys. When Mason was born I started to collect more sports stars to pass down to him. I had collected various autographs from all types of sports before he was born , but know I want to get all types to pass down to him. Maybe in 15 years some of these players will have done something in the NFL. After seeing Ken Darby and Kenny Irons at the senior bowl , they may be working their magic at a local eatery instead of the NFL.

All of the money from the sale of my cards goes to him. I use a little to create the cards and all the rest goes into his bank account.

Le-Ron Mclain Signed card

I was lucky enough to attend the Senor Bowl this past Jan. in Mobile , Alabama and made custom cards for 95 of the 100 players that attended. I got cards signed and also gave each player that signed a card of their own to keep. All the players enjoyed that cards and many of the fans that seen the cards enjoyed them as well. I gave out a lot of cards and also met some great people along the way.

Above you'll see the Le-Ron Mclain card that he signed. sorry for the poor image, the cards are glossy and the relection is killing me.
