Custom cut autos
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)
The setup
Finished product
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!

Looks like Rick Wilkins but he was on Houston at that time....
Looking for Ozzie Guillen, Gordon Beckham, Frank Thomas, Travis Snider, John Starks, White Sox and anything else that catches my eye!

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!

Those are pretty cool!
Also collecting the top prospects for the Sox.
