Recent Custom Projects

I've been working on some cool custom projects that I wanted to show some progress on.

My daughter was huge into the Artemis II launch and return. She requested a few cards to take to school for Show & Tell, so we got to work. She helped me pick the images from the NASA website, which had really good captions that I used for the back. We did a 9-card set and were thrilled with how it came out. This is the 2026 Topps template that I created and used the Flag and Moon as border.

Prior to the Artemis project, I was working on getting better at relics. Starting with some 5x7's to get the process down. The center cardboard is the biggest obstacle but I think I've got it about where I want it.

This is the Jordan Rookie Template with my favorite sub-category of Jordan Stuff - USA Jordan. This jersey is an old one of mine that way too big, stained, and was a knock-off for $25. So I didn't mind cutting it up for practice.

Another 5x7, this is of Ed Reed and Ray Lewis with the Upper Deck Football Heroes set. I bought a couple cards with nice Ravens patches and removed them to use in this one. Neither of these have designed backs to them. They will just be going to frames any way.

Next up I wanted to try a standard 2.5x3.5 relic with the new process I came up with. I used the other patch from the Ravens cards and did a 1989 Pro Set template for this sweet photo of Ed Reed. This is one of my sets I ever collected as a kid. Total nostalgia pick but I love how it came out. Did a nice back for this one (though I see one thing I wish I would have done differently). Looks great in a one-touch and is front and center on my desk.

Going to be working on some Jordan standard relics and if they come out to my liking, you may see them available on the website. Thanks everyone for reading! Let me know if you have any custom ideas or requests!
