Had one of my regular customers order some 1974-75 New Jersey Knights WHA cards but when I went to print they didn't come close to current creations so I went on a hunt. Found a team produced sheet with headshots of all them so created new.

Remembering the WHA....................

12/10/2025

As per Mark Twain "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated", in fact I haven't had time for it this year !! I have been, I must admit slowly by times, continuing to create for my customers and have sadly neglected those who are good enough to peruse this site, thanks to both. The players of the WHA continue to be a quest of mine and also a number of clients so today I will begin to upload all the new cards, starting as the league did, in 1972-73. I hope you enjoy my attempt to have a card created for all the WHA players.

Ken Dryden Tribute and vintage Boys of October..........

9/14/2025

3 Comments

Even despite the facts he played in Montreal, hockey lost a gentleman and a legend with the passing of Ken Dryden. Haven't created a number of customs of him over the years I felt compelled to post them in his honor. I'll follow that up with some vintage baseball, hope you find something you like !!

Ken Dryden

Next up some 1955 Topps baseball ............

Would appreciate some feedback on use of AI to create cards, the 1957 Topps customs I used and the 1960 Topps I didn't, any opinions on which you prefer or which looks more period correct ?? PLMK and hope you enjoyed this batch of Cards That Never Were.

Back at Last But Not All Good News !!

8/30/2025

I'm back after a summer of racing horses and working construction !! The first was on my list but unfortunately the second got added when we returned from Portugal to find the double garage and cottage addition that we expected to be finished were just a foundation and it had numerous errors !! Not what I wanted with a bad back but everybody worth hiring are all too busy. Yesterday sort of topped the summer off when a ladder slipped and I landed on my bad back putting me out of the construction business for a while.

Then for all my loyal US customers I am sad to say that I'm afraid Mr. Trump's latest tariff announcement may have put me out of selling to the US market !! Just attempted to ship a $90 order to USA and they want $68.37 for duty and MPF/HMF ( whatever the hell that is) and it has to be prepaid before I can ship !! Not sure what you folks think but a 65% tariff on under $100 purchase seems excessive to me. We can only hope that the Federal Court ruling that he does not have authority to issue these "Proclamations" will hold up in Supreme Court on appeal but who knows how long that may take :(

In the meantime thanks to all my American friends for past orders and would love to deal with you again !!

While I'm here I will update my Maple Leafs autograph section and we have some new creations for your perusal, starting with some 1955 Bowman baseball thanks to Phil Rosenthal...

Ken Boyer

Harmon Killebrew

Sandy Koufax

Wally Moon

Stan Musial

To finish off the baseball I have a group of All-Star cards that were never issued for a number of different years by Topps.
