Redskins Trading Cards
 

Someone made the suggestion that we have football cards for avatars and it gave me the idea of making some Skins cards. Yes, I "borrowed" some card designs of my childhood, but I did the rest of the work. I love the looks of the vintage trading cards. Here's a few. I may do more later if I find some spare time.

Enjoy!

I like the Fletcher card the best, but that one also took the most time with the name. [I]I did these in Paintbrush. [/I] :D

That's some awesome stuff my man.

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

I can't seem them can someone paste them in?

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

So your cards are from around the late 80's early 90's.

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

Well done!

A few '70s also. The cards from my childhood...back when I thought cards would be worth a fortune and they ended up being worth absolutely nothing because they printed so many. :D


I tried to pick photos that would look as dated as the cards instead of crystal-clear ones that would look obviously pasted on, since I was using scans of actual old cards as a base.

Thanks for the compliments.

It was fun, will probably do more someday. Feel free to save/use/do whatever you want with them.

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

I can't view any of the cards? Anyone know why?

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

Because of multiple copyright infringements?

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

Well done Buster! I remember all those card designs. They bring back some memories...

I love the old school look. Dont know why people are hating.

Re: Redskins Trading Cards

1990 Pro Set

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

Last one for this morning. May take some requests later if I have time.


Lets hope the Red Snapper will be back, but not looking good at this point.

1990 Pro Set[/quote]

I used to love those Pro Set cards. They were sharp looking.

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

Yeah, Pro Sets were my favorites. They looked great and were inexpensive.

Did you have the "rare" Santa Claus card too? :D



That Moss card was fairly easy to make, I modified an Art Monk scanned card, so "WR * REDSKINS" was already on the bottom.

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

I had to.

1989 Score

Agreed , 1972 card ... if only we would have beat the darn fins . Great work Buster :)

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

Lol not the "Sant Claus card" Love the work especially the Pro set ones.

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

Lots of memories. Even though the only football cards I collected were from 1990 I still collected a lot of baseball cards and remember these styles. This is crazy though. Great job.

Oh any chance you could make a Tony Romo card of him getting sacked or fumbling a snap? Maybe a drunk Jerry Jones card. Lol speak of the devil, right after I type Jerry Jones he shows up on the Tele.

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

great work pretty cool

nice, i was looking for the punch line and found it in the top left :)

Re: Redskins Trading Cards
 

It's funny I started a similar thing last season to use as avatars but for some odd reason I abandoned the idea after I made one, any way here it is: Keep up the good work!

^Very nice work. (except '72 had blue banners for us...why? who knows!)

Yea I remember that I wanted them to reflect the Skins more that's why I changed them to the team colors. Perhaps I'll continue and make some avatars.

Yours looks great, the way they should have looked. They're far better quality than the originals.

I tried to keep mine looking "vintage" for the older card styles. I was using MS Paint for all of them too. :laughing2

Might as well swap our the remaining blue text for burgundy.

Yea, it was a work in progress that's probably why it's still blue.
