Monsters of the Midway 2.0

I designed this set in early 2015.  This is my first set that is double sided and I'm fairly happy with the results.  I created 4 of each card, hoping to get 3 back from each athlete.

Ricky Proehl

This was a funny return.  I sent Mr. Proehl the four customs, which he signed & returned in 48 days.  I also sent a $10 donation.  Mr. Proehl also sent me a photo that someone else had sent him for some reason, and also included that person's LOR and donation.  I will forward that on to the other collector soon.

Chuck Howley

Second attempt finally brought a return from Mr. Howley.  He returned 4/4 customs in 12 days.  A couple are a little smudged, but still a great return.

Tim Wrightman

Returned 3/4 customs (K1AO) in 28 days via his home.

Doug Plank

Got a return from one of my favorite players growing up.  Doug Plank returned 3/4 customs (K1AO) in 12 days.

Adrian Amos

I was able to attend a signing at Dean's Dugout in Naperville, Illinois, on 10.26.2015 to secure Mr. Amos' signature. He signed one of my customs, I made 1 for him to keep as well.

Gaines Adams

I picked up a Gaines Adams 2007 Playoff Memorabilia card at the Nationals this summer and sent it off to a friend on SportsCardForum.com to create this one of a kind card of Gaines Adams. Thank you, Patrick, for the help!

Zeke Bratkowski

Mr. Bratkowski returned 4/4 customs in 21 days.

Waymond Bryant

Ross Montgomery

A standout at TCU, Mr. Montgomery had a short career with the Bears in a backfield that featured some dudes named Sayers, Bull, & Piccolo.  Returned 3/4 customs in 14 days (K1AO).  The first success I've seen from him.  Stoked he took the time.
