The Yak Shack Forum

Hi Guys,

Since Topps don't listen to the fans (apparently it "never occurred to them" to do a Treebeard auto card from JRD) it's probably up to us to brainstorm and even make cards of our own for when we meet the important folk.

Has anyone made any or had any signed??... come forth and show off your wares ;)

I'm sorry, but how the hell do you do those???? Awesome work, particularly Alan Lee

In the words of the above Ed - those are brimming with awesomeness

I hope there will be more in the series with time ;)

Wonderful aren't they ... we bow before your awesomeness Jas! ;) ;D

Jason:

When I see what you have been able to get done I get upset with Topps for such a lack of creative thinking it is not funny!  When you look at the 4 sets of Auto cards put out by Topps and the numerous repeat signatures and think what they could have done instead - I am just getting myself worked up into a frenzy so I am going to stop here.   :P  

Here is a couple more

WOW Jas! :o
I think you've missed your 'dream job' and should be working for Topps' Design department!!

What's the reaction been so far when you've asked your cards to be signed by those featured on them?
Do they like them?
Has anyone refused to sign one of them?

Your selections really are the cards which should've been done and weren't and I think our LOTR collections are the poorer because of the lack of variety and uninspired images which were chosen instead.
Too late for Topps to rectify this now though! :-\
If you do decide to design any more then please let us see them won't you?
Good Luck on getting the one's you already have signed too! ;D

the ones signed havent been a problem, howard thought it was cool and alan laughed at the picture as he remembered what it was from .

I will post more when they come!

6 days have passed Jas and we have had no new cards.... you are getting like Topps :P

Thank goodness... I thought you had rested on your laurels ;)



-  doesn't that Alan Lee one need a partner ;)

Hey Roz

You are a slave driver!!!!! Poor Jas...........would not like to work for you............ a few weeks  is good!....Topps takes about half a year to come up with anything decent!!!  


.....by the way A Very Very Very nice Tolkien Card.....fabulous picture eh???

Beautiful - Royd wouldn't know a decent pic if it hit him on the nose ;)

These are fantastic jas....how in the world are they done they look like real cards, are they printed on the same type of card that the topps one's are cause they look like they are!!

WOW they are great!!

I have now been privilidged to see one of these in the flesh - actually more than one :)

And they really are as awesome as they look, maybe I am not patient enough but I could never do these so well as these are done, the printing alone is awesome - the print is sharp and they are really well cut :) move over Topps the fans have everything in hand without you ;)
