The sheer abundance of "unnecessary" (IMHO) cards, and the crappy fill rates make me nuts. You can't even count on a complete base set if you buy a box anymore (I came up 2 cards shy, and even bought 12 more packs only to get 1 of the 2 I was missing). It does really make me re-think my return to GPK collecting, it's just not fun like it once was. Opening packs should be an exercise in enjoyment not frustration.

p.s; your signature makes me want to make some myself. I don't have my mac or photoshop installed at the moment, but when i do imma make some for the members here as well. My disease is spreading! ^_^ Did you render mad mike by yourself or did topps release him without a background for fans a while back? I have some decent (and some not so decent) resolution scans of the original art. I cut him out from this:

Thanks to everyone, yet again, for the compliments! Now to make one for chrome!!! That will definitely happen! I'm very psyched about these! how about some foreign folders too!!! I do want to do these (and have even started a couple). The major setback is I lack the artwork to do them at the moment (but Travis is on the case with me). major kudos to you for making these availale for us here. It's a great way to display our collections. thanks a million man. keep up the good work!!!! Thanks, I'm glad they have been so well received! p.s: i'd like to donate some money towards this cause. Is there a donation button setup anywhere for this group project? i think it's important to help these guys out so they have the get a little bit of money back for the time they spend making these. There are many more series coming out in the future and we don't want this project to die. While I truly appreciate it, these weren't done to make money, but rather as a labor of love. With that said, I can definitely use scans of anything else you guys want covers for (I also wouldn't mind if everyone took a look at my needs list for my meager collection ^_^)

Hey guys are any of you using 1/2 " binders? I am and was wondering how you resized the spines to fit in? I actually just moved all my cards into 1/2 inch binders, so hold off on printing the larger ones, cuz I'm most likely going to make some new ones! ;D

Mike and I are working on doing one of these for each foreign set as well. And by "Mike and I" I mean I'm going to be scanning in foreign images and he's going to do all the "working", lol. He's going to keep the same standardization he's done with the US stuff and it's going to be incredible. He's doing all of this work for FREE. NOBODY DOES THIS STUFF FOR FREE AND YET HE REALLY DOES. I implore you to check out his "needs" thread and help him out. I KNOW you guys are gonna use these covers, even if you don't post in this thread. He's worked real hard on these and deserves the support....throw a bone, aka, some of your extras his way. Thanks Mike for your efforts buddy. I have a feeling these are going to be THEE definitive custom GPK binder covers. You know I got you covered, but I hope you get the response and assistance you should from the rest of these guys and gals.. Travis. *le tear* Thanks, as usual, Travis!

Those collage pages are great. If I still used pages|binders I'd use them for sure. Awesome work....your avatar, signature, & binder covers bring new life to the UG. Keep up the great work, -TCT GPKUG Admin I thank you both so much! If either of you want stuff done for the UG (like a skin, etc.), let me know!

These are great! You know what I always thoguht would be cool, would be to use either the promotional posters or sell sheets as binder dividers. The are usually 10 X 14 and too big to use, but if someone could get hi res images of them they would look great scaled down to fit in a binder. If anybody has them and can scan them (preferably at 600 dpi, so I can descreen them), I'll photoshop them smaller.

The collage sheets are incredible! I'm in the process today, actually, of moving my cards into newer, nicer binders, and these are going to be a nice touch for the front sleeve. Thanks so much, I'm glad to help out fellow collectors! PS - I'll be adding more to the collage post, so keep an eye out!

Damn you Mike! I just printed out the other ones....lol.. Oops, sorry! I've been getting PMs with ideas and so these happened. If it's any consolation, I have to reprint too.

Do some for the binder spines! I'd love to use these also. Sure, but first I'd like to get as many of you as I can to weigh in on what size binders you use and how many sets you put in each. Tell me as much as you can about how you store your cards that way I'll have an idea of what to make. BTW - I have 1.5 inch binders with 3 series sets in each, so this it what my spines have:

Starting on the ANS next? Sure, I'll get on it for you guys! (I didn't make any yet, because I don't have any of the ANS cards )

I wanted some artwork to use in each of my card binders, so I set forth to do some photo shopping. These were designed at 8.5x11 inches to print and put in binders or full page plastic sleeves as a "title page", if you will, for each series. Each are designed to match the original wrappers in color and style. Enjoy! Extra special thanks to Travis, Nicodemus (GeePeeKay.com) and Andrew without whom these would not exist!! UPDATE (04/20/2020): Long overdue: 2019 Series 2 & 2020 Series 1! Most recent: PREVIEWS: DOWNLOAD PDF (v.APR01):DOWNLOAD

I may be late on this topic, but I have to ask: can we contribute skins to the board? I'm in a very photoshop mood and would love to take a whack at a one!
