I understand why these guys need to put a disclaimer on their cards to protect themselves, but from the third sentence on... it goes downhill fast. The seller reminds me of this woman I worked with years ago who had zero social skills. She was so brutally honest, she offended 85% of the staff. Her students loved her though (so that counts for something).<br /><br />As for your question... I enjoy art cards (especially sketches), but have never gone out of my way to buy any prints. I might have one or two sitting in my collection that were donated to me...or discovered in dime boxes.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342776885896894717.post-75271152095154299112018-11-17T22:25:40.996-08:002018-11-17T22:25:40.996-08:00I don't think I've ever bought a homemade ...I don't think I've ever bought a homemade card, though they're fun to receive in trades, and I like making custom cards (and occasionally sketch cards) for myself and my trader buds.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342776885896894717.post-48628301469490834852018-11-17T22:25:33.378-08:002018-11-17T22:25:33.378-08:00I don't think I've ever bought a homemade ...I don't think I've ever bought a homemade card, though they're fun to receive in trades, and I like making custom cards (and occasionally sketch cards) for myself and my trader buds.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342776885896894717.post-70691925438649349092018-11-17T11:43:12.801-08:002018-11-17T11:43:12.801-08:00I'm a big no on art cards.

While the photos are shopped, the graphics and color choices on these are what caught my eye. I also have a few Helmars. These well-designed cards have an 'old feel' quality to them. They tend to sell much higher than what I'm willing to pay for a 'fake' card so I'll never own many. acrackedbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056658025780679689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342776885896894717.post-53967223748664937962018-11-17T09:17:37.707-08:002018-11-17T09:17:37.707-08:00I like Vela's cards, I have a handful.

Even for sets like Gallery, I like some and others I do not.<br /><br />As for other custom cards, unless I get them bloggers I don't bother with them. Custom cards from bloggers have a personal connection and most are quite good. Going online you don't know what you're going to get or who you're dealing with, I stay far away.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342776885896894717.post-14887030215883721882018-11-17T06:03:11.099-08:002018-11-17T06:03:11.099-08:00I have only one that falls into the "art card...I have only one that falls into the "art card" category, a sketch by Gavin of Baseball Card breakdown. Absolutely counted as part of my collection! <br /><br />If I had the know-how, I'd be making cards myself. I don't, unfortunately.
