Compilation of '69 Topps Pilots

A few days ago on the Facebook Custom Cards Group Page, one of the members posted all of the Seattle Pilots customs they had made. I had worked on the 1969 Topps missing player checklist, and had wondered if I could locate customs of all of the missing Pilots cards in the '69 Topps set. After some editing and searching, I was able to locate custom 1969 Topps cards of every missing Seattle Pilot. Most of those were done by David and Lynn in the FB Group, and I edited one or two. There may be some that were made by others, and if they are yours, let me know and I will give you credit. Here are all of the missing 1969 Topps Seattle Pilots cards.

The Seattle Pilots are a popular team among collectors, and I am happy that all of the original '69 team now have '69 Topps cards.

On another note, about a week ago, a new baseball card shop opened where I live. It is maybe a 2 minute drive from my house. They didn't have much inventory yet, but they had about 12 500-count boxes of 20 for $1 cards. Most of them were like '89 Topps, '91 Donruss, and '87 Topps, but there were a few from newer sets, and there was a box of '89 Fleer that I pulled a Griffey rookie from. I'll probably go back and try to pull out some cards from the '89 Fleer box (I forgot about the Billy Ripken card). It was a nice surprise, and I'll try to take pictures next time I'm in and do a nice post about it. I really hope the business does well and it stays open.
That's about it for me. The '62 Topps missing player checklist is done, and I'm working on the '61 one.

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.

My Wantlist/PC List is finished!

I’ve been hitting my Player pages pretty hard the last few days, and I can now say that every page is up to date. I have listed every card I have of every player I collect, and added pictures of all of my cards of them. They are all listed on my new Want List/PC List Page. I hope this will help for anyone who wants to make trades with me.
I have also listed other kinds of cards I like to collect (Highlights, dufex, Refractor, die cut, shiny, rookie cards, sunset cards) and listed a few actual cards I would like to add. I couldn’t think of a good picture to add to this post, so I added a picture I took of some cards when I was sorting them. As you can see, I grouped them into piles, from left to right, with favorite players, rookies, Highlights, and shiny/parallel/dufex/refractors/die cut cards.
Now that the want list page is done,I’ll try to update it when I add new cards, and try to make a page like Night Owl has for his Dodgers, except I will list all of the Rays and Tigers I have. This may take a while, and I’m sure I’ll have to look up some sets online, because there are so many sets out there, that trying to figure out what they are all called can make your head spin.
I’m still working on missing player checklists, and am working on 1962 Topps right now. I would like to finish the ‘51 and ‘53-‘62 sets by the end of the year, giving me missing player checklists for the first 50 years of Topps. When they are finished, I will work up from 2002 to the present. It will be tough, but I think it will be worth it in the end.
