Opinions Please

I tried posting this before, but they got messed up when I put a poll, so I won't put a poll here.

I've been working on a 2011 Topps style Jose Canseco. I added a few enhancements, like a photo border, name in white and a different A's style logo which both deviates from 2011 Topps, but I like how it looks better like this. Here are the 3 options (so far anyway!) These are pre-production samples :)

I'll probably do some refractors of the final one, so lack of foil is fine. Which do you all like better? I'm leaning toward #3.

Nice work! I also like #3

[37Jetson]

I really like #1 and #2. The cropping of #3 just does not look as good as #1.

Is the off-center on #2 a thumbs up to Topps?

I like #2
ten characters

I like one and two, I know you like 3, but compared to 1, it looks like his body is too low, and there is too much space taken up by the crowd in the background.

Nice work.

It is off center because i suck at cutting and just wanted to get a feel for what they would be like in person :)

What does ten characters mean?

[stera8]

A post needs ten characters to submit


I vote 2

[mouschi]

thanks guys for the input! i think i like #3 mainly because of the gold in the A's logo. I would probably like #1 and 2 better if I just switched that out. I may give it a try!

[RAZOR Z]

I like 3 if he was up and forward a bit.

[WASbalPSU13]

I like the picture for one but I like the yellow jersey for 2. So I think I'd go with 2.

Agree. I like #1 the best.

[Chaddie84]

I prefer #1 over #3. I like the color better in #2, though.

I was going to suggest this! I like #2. The yellow jersey makes the card pop and I think the A's logo in #3 looks the best.

Alright, sounds good! Now the next step ... what color refractor(s) to go with of this??? :) I may do a canary

[Bretsky]

I vote for 1

Good work OP. I like #1, just shift it to the left a bit. #2 is cropped too much with the bat and hands looking cut off. #3 is too low.

You do know you had Chris Olds going on twitter when you posted that 2013 Topps Canseco a couple of days ago.

[centereacan06]

1 has been cropping/centering than 3, but 3 has a better design for the logo.

I'd say #1 in the end.

[migraine]

#1 ........

cool! who is Chris Olds?

[amazingpacks]

#2 all the way.

[JohnAndrew]

I'd like to see #3 with a closer crop.

[Andrew Jones]

cool! who is Chris Olds?

Boomo with a job.

[TarjetasBéisbol]

Haha! I know Beckett is now irrelevant and has been for a long time. Chris Olds is the editor of Beckett Baseball & Beckett Sports Card Monthly magazines at Beckett Media.

[mouschi]

Really? Did he say something about it? I searched and saw someone posting something to him, but didn't see anything of him saying anything. Would be cool. Anyway, I think i'm gonna go with this one: I moved Jose up a bit
