My First Custom Card

wflet · 02-22-2021, 02:05 PM

Now this is a brand new thing for me as I primarily collect regular trading cards and 8x10 and 11x14 signatures. But with the spate of signed celebrity books and music becoming prevalent online I took the plunge on a signed Taylor Swift CD...

Got in touch with Steve at inkedcardboard.com (GUCD231 on this forum) Had him work on a simple design for me and came up with this...

I think it looks great. Signature is perfectly set within the card. Again this is no comparison to the custom cards we see from the likes of dukestr89 and thuy, but I think it will be the start of a fun new type of collecting for me.

Thanks again Steve for the great work on this card.

You're wrong- I love this card! Truth be told, I wish this was part of my own collection. Steve always does great work for everyone and he certainly didn't disappoint with your first custom. I must warn you though, it becomes really addictive. What a great start to your collection!

Very nice. I have a CD that I was trying to figure out what to do with it. What size is this?

Oh yeah. The addiction is real.

wflet · 02-22-2021, 08:14 PM

Thanks guys for the approval. And you are both right I see this as a potentially expensive venture. I have already got a Kristen Bell book and Selena Gomez CD that I have let Steve know I will want to work something on. $$$$

And Thuy, it's about 5.5 x 3.5, it fits perfectly into a vertical booklet One Touch

That's pretty cool.

alifaxwa2 · 02-23-2021, 05:42 AM

Nice one!

GUCD231 · 02-23-2021, 07:59 AM

Will,

I'm very pleased you like it. As with every collector I work with, I look forward to creating whatever your heart desires and imagination can think up.

A big thanks to my custom guys for the appreciation.

Steve's stuff is awesome!

I haven't been able to get anything done from him lately because he's been so busy. Nice to see that his business might be taking off!

Ha. Can't dispute that solid logic.

Thanks Mike, I was looking at your Taylor Swift custom on Flickr, looks very nice.

For some reason my Selena Gomez custom card isn't showing here. Maybe I forgot to add it in the original post. I'll post it again.
