I've been a fan of baseball cards all my life. I even participated in the OOTP betas when having a card-generator in-game was being discussed and created and I was very big on the feature. I even wrote a guide back for OOTP11 (I think) on how to create templates. In my spare time, I sometimes make baseball cards as art.

The card styles you've emulated are fantastic. I even showed them to my wife, who is a graphic designer (and also a card collector), to show off the styles because I was so impressed with them.

All of the designs are great - even to the point that, while I'd love to have the real player photos, the cards are so good without them - I'm not sure I'd really want them anymore.

I like the pre-1930s design a lot, but I can't quite place it. What was the inspiration for that one?

I especially like the 1970s set, inspired by 1975 Topps. The 1961 inspired design is fantastic too.

The 1980s design seems to take cues from 1983 Topps (the two colored boxes) and 1982-3 Donruss (The Rookie Sensations' yellow bat).

The 1992 Topps used in the 1990s set is also evocative of the era.

It's a fantastic job!

I seriously can't wait see what's in store for the next version.
