Where we began What seems like a short time ago, but in reality is probably 10 years, we made our first attempts at creating Toronto Maple Leaf cards. How sad they look today !!! Done without much PhotoShop experience and on a cheap InkJet printer they have all now been dismissed to the wastebasket. After 4-5 different print programs and at least 4 progressively more expensive printers we can now create a semi-professional version that satisfies both my inspection and that of my faithful collectors. The Maple Leafs Missing Link Cards page of this website documents all my Toronto creations so I'll use this blog page to show other custom cards created to date and to update new creations in the future. I'm going to limit this first posting to the cards outside of sports that we have already had requests to create. They range from cartoon characters to old-time movie stars, with some non-athletes in sports thrown in to boot. Probably my first steady customer was both a Montreal sports fan and a Golden Age movie fan. The three cards on the left were created for him. . |

AuthorI am a lifelong Maple Leaf fan, now retired, who started creating custom cards for myself of Toronto players who never had a card issued in the Maple Leaf uniform. From posting some of these on eBay it has become the proverbial "snowball down hill" !!! Archives
