Here's a custom Patrick Mahomes I created. The card features Mahomes in his away jersey throwing a flaming football downfield. The background is a conflagration, to suggest how Mahomes is on fire. I added red-white sparkling stones to his jersey number and around his name. Lastly, I studded the white border with flat white stones.

Except for the stones, the card is designed in CAD and 3D printed in my home hobby workshop.

This card is available for trade for a custom card only (I don't collect commercial cards).

Here's a classic card that I modernized using 3D printing techniques.

1986 Fleer Michael Jordan #57

The front is the classic 1986 Fleer Jordan card. It uses 8 pigments in total, Many of the pigments were shades of gray and black in order to get the best shadows of Jordan. I added a gold NBA logoman next to the card company logo and removed the extraneous blue and red from the NBA logo.
I added blue jewels to the border as well.

I created a custom back to highlight Jordan's achievements. I included two quotes, one from Jordan himself and the other from Ahmad Rashad.

Lastly, I fabricated a friction-fitted holder for the card with some information.

A classic card, updated using modern CAD and 3D printing techniques.

The 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr card

The front is a 4-pigment (black matte, black metal, white, and gray) chromaphane of the card. I've added the Mariners' Trident and used dark-green jewels to outline the grass on the right of the card. His necklace is studded with a single gold jewel.

The back shows KGJ's accomplishments and info about his 1987 scouting report. I figured modern collectors wouldn't know how good KGJ was predicted to be, or how accurate his scouting report was.

I added more info about his stats on the 3D printed slab, which I fabricated using black metal pigment. I used CAD to ensure the top loader is friction-fitted, so no adhesive is needed.

Of note, he had a signing bonus of $200K in 1989. Adjusted for inflation using the CPI, that would be $535K today.

I made my first custom stand this week and it turned out pretty great! It has plenty of back support and is adjustable to fit the size of card I want. Once I have a little bit of a better design I might sell them. If you have any tips please lmk in the comments or by dm
