Tim Wallach Career Topps Run

About a week ago, I got a comment from Corey, the author of Tim Wallach, an attempt to collect them All, on my 1997 Tim Wallach custom. I decided to make all of Tim's missing Topps cards so Coery could have a Topps card for every year of Tim's career. I plan on printing them out, and mailing them to him, along with all of the Wallach cards I have. Here are all of Tim Wallach's Topps cards, with all of his regular Topps-issued ones, as well as the customs I have made.

So now, Tim Wallach has Topps cards for every season he has played or coached in the Major Leagues. I like how they turned out, and special thanks to Beny Levy for the awesome post he did on the FB Custom Cards Page with exact or close font matches for every Topps set from 1951-2019. It helped me tremendously. 

I have had a lot going on in my life recently, and it has, and may still have, changed the way my days go, and how I post and how frequently I do. We had family in town for the past 2 weeks, and that sucked up an enormous amount of time. It is now summer, so that has changed things. I am normally off on Sundays, and another random day in the week. Sundays, I am usually playing piano at church, and between that and a nap, that sucks up most of the day. I might work on customs or something for an hour or so, but not like on a real day off. Now, on the other day off, I could probably spend 65% of the day doing custom stuff until my wife comes home from work and we pick up my son from school. In the summer, I usually end up mowing the lawn on that extra off day, and maybe get 2 hours to do whatever.
The last thing that happened, is probably the biggest. My wife resigned from her job, and we decided to let her grandmother move into our guest room. Her grandmother is 92, and has stage 4 cancer, so we don't expect her to be with us for more than a few months, but it is a chance, none the less. My wife is a nurse, so she will spend most of her time taking care of her, and pick up random shifts through a staffing agency. We don't know what will happen after her grandmother passes, but for right now, my wife and her grandmother will be around the house alot more, so I might not be on the computer as much, but I still want to be active in the blogging and custom card making community. Maybe after all this is over, things will go back to a kind of normal schedule, but right now, we will just ride this wave and try to enjoy it. I do hope to go to a card show in Jacksonville in the next few months with my brother-in-law, and I have a ton of customs I want to make and print out. I will definitely try to blog and post new stuff when I can.
I hope you enjoyed the new customs. Thanks for checking out my latest post.

Tim Wallach Project

Recently, Corey from Tim Wallach, an attempt to collect them all, wrote a comment on my 1997 Topps Tim Wallach sunset card post, saying how much he liked the card. I decided to email him and see if he wanted me to try to do a run of customs to try to complete Tim's career Topps run, and he told me how he wanted to see a 1981 Topps card, as well as whatever else I could come up with. Well, I started getting to work, and came up with these cards as the ones that he needed to complete his career Topps run: 1980 Traded, 1981, 1996, 1996 Traded, 1997, 2003 Traded, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009 Traded, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2015 Traded, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. I was able to complete his run as a player, and have currently finished the 2003 Traded through 2009 Traded cards. Here is how they look.

Many thanks to Beny Levy and his post on the FB Custom Cards Group that shows all of the correct fonts for the Topps sets from 1951-2019. I hope to finish the rest of them sometime this week, and make a post with Tim's career Topps run. There will be some difficult designs, but some that will be easy because of the Topps custom site.
Thanks for checking out my latest post.

1997 Topps #509 Tim Wallach

Tim Wallach played in the Majors from 1980-1996. He played for the Montreal Expos from 1980-1992, the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1993-1995, and split his final season with the California Angels and the Dodgers in 1996.  Tim got back to the bigs in 2004 as a coach with the Dodgers, and stayed with them through the end of 2005. After some gigs in the minors, he was back with the Dodgers in 2011, and was with them through the end of the 2015 season. He coached with the Miami Marlins in 2016, and is with them currently.

Tim got his first Topps card in the 1982 set, and appeared in every one through the 1995 set. He is missing a 1981 rookie and a 1996 Topps card to complete his career Topps run after I made this 1997 Topps custom sunset card of Tim. He needs cards from the 2005, 2006, and 2012-2018 Topps sets as a coach.

I got a good amount of custom work done today. I posted the finalized 1995 Topps checklist (thanks Paul for the help with it!), added some 2017 Topps cards from the custom card group on Facebook to my 2017 Topps file (thanks Richard for those!), and I updated all of the checklists on here as well. All of the Topps sets from 1989-1995 should now have complete checklists listed with team abbreviations next to the player names. 1996 should be an easy checklist to make since I've had the '96 complete set for a while and know it pretty good, but the 1997-2000 checklists are going to be tough, and I would totally appreciate anyone who would like to help me with them.
I placed my order on COMC, and as soon as I get it, I will post all the goodies I got. Among some of the cards were a bunch of autographed and memorabilia cards for my Favorite Player Collection, a 1992 Donruss Elite card (Howard Johnson), an '89 Upper Deck Ken Griffey, Jr, and the first cards in my collection of Kyler Burke (my 3-month old son's name is Kyler). Some cool stuff, and I can't wait to add them to my colletions. Thanks for checking out my latest post.
