When I do see the occasional thread on various sports websites mentioning customs, it's usually a 'Look what I did!' followed by a number of 'Nice!' replies.
I have no desire to trade customs with others. When I need one, I make one.
I think making customs is an individual thing. I know they are for me. I'm a stickler for having customs look *exactly* like the real thing. I often cringe at others' efforts, either for not staying true to the original, or a piss-poor 'new' design with fancy schmancy script fonts and dubious '1 of 1' markings, and the like.
Wow, what an attitude I have. No wonder I keep things to myself!

I'm also a stickler for custom cards that attempt to, but come up short in accurately imitating the look of an older card style. At the same time though, I'm more lenient and open-minded when custom carders create their own style cards. I myself like to add pop-art touches to my own custom jobs.
