Custom cut autos - jplarson - 06-06-2015
Hi all, I'm usually posting on the football boards but while cleaning I ran across some autographs my uncle sent me back in '96. He lives down in Florida and went to a Cubs Marlins game and managed to snag some signatures. The most prominent ones are Sammy Sosa, Jim Riggleman, and one of my favorites Frank Castillo.
I wanted a better way to display them so I put together a 4x6 design and went from there!
The template (designed in Ulead PhotoImpact)

I got a bit sloppy on a few of my cuts and I'd rather be using an Xacto knife but such is life
. Thanks for looking!

I think it's cool, and a great way to display a piece

Just finished putting all 8 together and scanning them in. Would also love some help trying to identify the last signature. It would have come during the same game all the other Cubs players came from. It was 06/01/1996 at the Florida Marlins where the Cubs won 5-4. I thought maybe Turk Wendell or Pedro Valdes but neither of them match exemplars I found online. Maybe it's a coach or team trainer but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

I think you're right. The Castillo and Wilkins are on different paper than the rest so must have gotten at a different time and mixed in. Thanks!
