Custom Triple Booklet-Booklet! Or a Triple Double? The Book of Boggs

mouschi · 01-07-2022, 12:03 PM

PHEW! This was probably my most challenging project ever. I call it: The Book of Boggs. It is a triple booklet booklet - three booklets in one big booklet! I don't think it has ever been done before. Check it out! The video at the bottom shows how it opens and such. It is so much fun.

Looks awesome, great work!

I may be totally wrong but aren’t the hit totals wrong?

66_Fiat · 01-07-2022, 12:15 PM

That's insane!

Hopefully fixable!

Looking at Baseball Reference, those appear to be his game totals, not hit totals.

Very sick custom!

Ahhhhh okay. Because I was pretty positive Boggs had over 3,000 hits and those numbers didn’t add up to anything close to that.

It is an error card, making it much more valuable!

(Whoops! Those were the stats I was provided, so those were the stats I put.)

It's still an incredible card and idea. I like this a lot more than the National Treasures booklets with 20 relics that are loosely connected.

Brettfan · 01-07-2022, 01:21 PM

I'm speechless, that is a work of art!!!

Absolutely beautiful!!!

Thanks for sharing it,

Wow, what an awesome project. Amazing work!

mouschi · 01-08-2022, 03:34 PM

Thanks guys! Wade Boggs tweeted me saying good job also. That made my day

dashcol · 01-08-2022, 03:47 PM

I’ve said this so many times Tanner…you need to get a consulting job with Topps and teach them how to make cards.

Another amazing job, and to get a shout out by Boggs, icing!

Tpm2780 · 01-08-2022, 06:03 PM

Wow!! So cool! Just amazing! You definitely should show Topps how making cards is really done as IMO you are where its at!

My fault.

When deciding what to list in the box for stats and with the limited room, I made some changes. The mistake was made when I used the the cut/copy/paste.

I am truly embarrassed because I overlooked it.

Still very happy with how it turned out!!!

No worries at all, brother - I got you!

I'm sure card companies go through several proofing checks, yet some super wild errors *still* make it into production.

That's why you're the best at this. Making amazing custom cards and making sure the customer is taken care of.

zworykin · 01-10-2022, 05:34 PM

Amazing!

I'm guessing you have done some customs of Griffey Jr? Not looking for anything for myself but figured I would ask? If so, post some pics if you have any. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing it, Melissa __________________ Please note that I would appreciate a quick heads-up if you can't ship my cards within 48 hours of payment. It's quite common for folks on here to neglect shipping cards promptly. I, as a seller bend over backwards to send cards within 24 hours. I would appreciate the same respect.
