BASEBALL CARDS

As an avid baseball card collector, I have always been interested in the design and manufacturing of cards. Nowadays, especially, there are so many thicknesses, shapes, and textures in baseball cards. I have been making my own baseball cards since I was around ten years old, and needless to say, I’ve improved drastically in my ability to create realistic cards that mimic those created by Topps and Panini America. In fact, I was hired by my high school baseball program to create custom cards as senior gifts the year after I graduated. You can see those cards in the next section on this page.

THE BOOKLET

Duration: 1 day

Project Description:

The most intriguing aspect of modern baseball cards is the inclusion of memorabilia pieces that are cut up and embedded into the cards. I decided to make my own memorabilia (and folding booklet) card based on an existing card design by Panini America.
