Perhaps you didn’t likes the term of “custom-made cards” which in many case was recognized as unlicensed junk cards by majority in our hobby. Unlicensed cards in some case also suspected to be involved in copyrights infringements.

Beyond that controversy, I would likes to share one of my creations in Basketball cards. It was an early prototype, and only made one copy. This card thickness was 48pt. The idea to create this card was simply flown in my mind, as result from the scarce of Shawn Kemp authentic autographed cards in his famous Sonic 40 uniform.

The Shawn Kemp autograph was taken from Upper Deck – UDA Store autographed letter (#ed/420), which I bought from ebay two years before, along with All-Star autographed 8 x 10 photo. Both the letter and photo was came with UDA Store COA and matching serial numbered holograms.

NEED FEEDBACK/INPUT.. :coffee:

I would likes to listen more input or brilliant idea from collectors before I am produce another cards. The autograph authenticity was matter. I have planned to made another cards containing an authentic autograph with a beautiful basic design and on-court images from deceased players or any players which his autograph was scarce in the markets or not produce by the cards manufacturer. I am also willing and able to revised or re-make this cards if you provided my some design or any idea to make a more beautiful shawn kemp cuts signatures cards. If I am bored with this card, all i have to do is just to remove the cuts signature and the holograms in new design window cards. Just like a puzzle .. :)

I am also encourage you to made the cards from your own design which containing authentic cut signature. You can get the authentic signatures from signed index cards, canceled-paid check, or any other printings material. Lets live the hobby with full creativity and enjoyments. Any input and feedback was appreciated. Thank You :)!

The only thing I would recommend is to put a different photo on the back of the card rather than recycling the image from the front. I remember when Upper Deck made cards in the 90s, they would put an action shot in front and then a casual shot of the player on the back (in a warmup, suit, or even lounging by the pool). It looked great. Panini nowadays gets lazy and just uses the same (ball-holding) image on both sides.

I like the concept. I would like a card layer on the front that keeps the cut secure. I would also suggest putting a different image in the back

@ MoezTavern + XARZY: Thanks Man, really appreciate for your suggestion. I will revised the back side image, and now looking for good Kemp's image to be put in the back of the card.

How much would a card like this cost if I wanted one of Ray Allen for my PC? Doesn't have to be an auto but I wouldn't mind hearing a number

@ ktzdaman : Haha.. Great idea.. will seek that "Pointing to Alton Lister" photo's..

@ RaVcCollector : This kemp signature's card cost me $ 52 ( $ 42 for cut auto's and $ 10 to produce the cards).. The base cards is more cheaper.. just $ 10 for individual printing cost. The killing factor if i made the other cards for International buyers is shipment cost.. It was $ 23 for shipped from Indonesia to anywhere with EMS (DC, Tracked, Insured) or $ 7 with registered mail at your own risk.
