Hi!

I love your collection! I really want to start making custom cards so I can start doing projects like this. Photoshop and all those programs confuse me but I'm sure I can figure out how to make custom cards eventually, lol.

I was wondering what size do you usually make your custome cards? I was thinking about making 4x6 custom cards so there will be room to write but it kind of seems a bit big. I just want to give them room if they want to write something. I don't want the cards to be super small.

I use Paint Shop Pro (An older cheaper version works fine). I make custom cards either 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 (trading card size) or 3 x 5 1/4. Depends on the size of the matte. Most celebs don't write much anyway. If they do..They will usually send a seperate note.

Thanks for the reply.
I was also wondering what you print these out on [cardstock, unlined index cards, etc..] if you print these yourself? Do you print out a bunch at a time on one sheet and then cut them down? I'm not too good with the cutting so would it be possible to use pre-cut index cards or something like that?
I'm sure you've answered these questions before but I may have issed them..

I also saw that you've bought Rittenhouse cards on ebay.. I'm a fan of Warehouse 13 and of one of the guest stars on the show [Nolan Funk] and I have been wanting his autograph for the longest time but I have had no luck. I went on the Rittenhouse website that you had linked and saw that Nolan actually has an autographed card and I have found a couple listings on ebay for his card. If I wanted to buy the card, it should be authentic, right? I'm a little hesitant to buy autographs on ebay, lol.
If I have anymore questions, would it be alright to just send you a private message? I don't want to post a whole lot and take up space here.

Thanks. I might have to redo it. I have a couple of other sigs due (Acevedo, Graynor & McDonald)

Wish upon a star, I print them out on 4x6 photo paper. Yes, Rittenhouse cards are legit.

I got almost all of the Artbox cards from Ebay and other card dealers. The others that weren't released I made the cards myself. That photo was from a while back. This is a more recent version of the matte....
