Northwest Arkansas Naturals set… Christian Colon custom card Leave a comment
I’ve done a couple 1988 Topps custom cards lately and it just so happened that I stumbled across some good pictures several Northwest Arkansas Naturals players. I made one and tweaked the colors to get it where I liked it and things snowballed from there. It was as simple as the Northwest Arkansas Naturals facebook page having a lot of good pictures on it. It provided me with a place to pick up all the pictures without looking really hard as you often have to do with minor league pictures. So I got the templates ready and made a complete team set. Obviously a lot of players go through a AA team during the year so I didn’t get them all but I tried to get the core team.
I ended up with about a 25 card set, I plan on posting them in bunches over the next few day because I tend to lose interest and not post all the cards so I want to get them on the site quickly. So here is the first card, the card I started with actually… Christian Colon.

Pitch good, get a custom card. That’s the way this works. A rare good start for a Royals pitcher warrants another 1988 Topps custom card.
Custom Card of the Day: Billy Butler 1988 Topps 2 comments
Billy Butler was named AL Player of the Week today. This is a big honor because the team was terrible during that stretch. While his numbers weren’t staggering (.458 average, 1 HR, 6 RBI) they were still impressive. He continues to be a great hitter and a rare bright spot for the Kansas City Royals. The picture with the facebook article was cool so it inspired me to do a custom card. I thought since his hand was higher than his head it would make a nice 1988 card so it would break into the team name at the top.
