I am kind of sorry to see the end of the All Star break. I will definitely get back to making more of these cards. I'm not sure I will have the patience to wait until the next All Star break.
That Mays card is, um, amazing. Where did you find that photo? It is one of him in a Mets uni I have never seen before.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever make a physical set of these cards, sign me up for one of these.
