Matt, great feedback, I'll try to answer each of your questions one at a time.

One possible bug...DH won't show up in the position box for the front of my cards. - Good point. When I designed this program, I completely forgot about DH, as I never play using it. I'll add it with a patch.

Also will there be a way to save the files in a picture format so they can be used online? I see the photos/templates/scripts from the HTML file are tied into sub folders. I have tried this a few ways, but each method has proven to be pretty slow (like 5 seconds per card). I'll have a solution for this, but I can't promise it will be the fastest part of the program. It will also be in a forthcoming patch.

Finally is there a way to change the front template? My example would be deleting the Ootp on the '83 card and putting in my leagues initials in the upper right. I tried to edit and save the .png file when I did that but then it wouldn't show the photos on the cards for some reason.
The OOTP thing was my replacement for the original "Topps" logo. I just cut it out of the png image, so the transparency shows your team's background color. What editor are you using to modify the png file? Some image editors won't preserve the transparency, I think that's probably what is happening, which is why you aren't seeing the player image after using the modified png.
Patch: a place to add league info, possibly.

I probably spent 3 hours with this program tonight...great stuff. I have had a blast with it myself. My league started in 1887, some of my favorite templates are the old tobacco style ones.
