I use fotoflexer mostly and PowerPoint if I need a certain font.

I used Photoshop for mine.

Does photoshop or the other programs mentioned let you tell it what actual size you want it? Or is it trial and error?

With photoshop you pretty much have to create a template with the correct size box to print more than 1 card per page.

I use Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.

My 2nd batch of custom cards (sorry for the slightly blurry pic). I forgot to add the actor/character name to the front so I designed a "cardback" for that. Printed the "cardback" on a sticker and attached it to the original card. These were signed in person at the Shore Leave convention where Neil Grayston was a guest. In hindsight I should have made up some cards of Amanda Tapping from Sanctuary to get signed but that thought didn't occur to me until about 5 minutes ago.

Those are nice WandringRebel! I got a few in today very happy!

Cool beans. Love Boondock Saints.

It was a really slow month for autos for me. But I did get back my first two Batman Animated Series cards!

Those are all pretty nifty. I especially like the X-Men related cards.

Where do you have your cards printed at madcollector?

I have some designs I would love to get printed up.

I agree, I really like those X-Men cards! Sad that we never got a First Class set, I think that one could've sold particularly well if we had.

Also like that Daniel Cudmore coordinated his colour choice with your design!

I love those X Men cards!!! I need to get back to work on some new cards but I don't know what to do right now. I like the idea for the JP cards it would have been nice to have those for any of the movies!

I had been getting them printed by MyTradingCards.com, but since they almost doubled their prices I now get them done by Artscow.com.

Artscow only has the rounded corners, which are not my favorite, but I can get 54 cards for the same price as 2 cards from MyTradingCards.

The scans of my Alien cards didn't show the alien eggs in the signature block, so I thought I would post this one.

I don't think I've posted on this thread before, but I wanted to say how much I enjoy looking at your custom cards and the results of getting them signed.
It's really inspiring and I can think of lots of TV shows and movies I'd like to make a set for myself.

One that comes to mind is a set for the "Sharpe" series of TV movies with Sean Bean etc. There were many great appearances throughout the series of movies from Daniel Craig to Liz Hurley! One of these days I'll create a set...

Anyway, keep up the great work guys, and keep posting them for the rest of us to see.

A few new ones...

Got a few Disney's back recently...
