With the start of the NFL regular season just around the corner and some new rookies or free agent pickups not having cards yet this year, I am holding a contest for some custom cards that can be used for seeking TTM Autographs. The contest winner will receive 9 custom cards of any player(s) that they would like, a sample TTM request letter, and I will also provide team/player addresses if I have access to them.
I did one of these contests last season and it seemed to go over well so I decided to do one again.
I will have the winner of the contest let me know the specifics of what players/teams they are looking for. If you are looking for a specific uniform, picture, etc. I can usually figure something out as long as there is a workable picture (300x300 minimum) available on the internet or from you. These cards usually work best for former players and less popular players that don't have many actual cards.
Please keep in mind that these cards are printed on photo paper from a laser jet printer and are cut with a paper cutter, so some photos/lettering turn out somewhat fuzzy or pixelated from time to time and the edges/corners aren't always flawless.
Prior to shipping the customs out, I will contact the winning member to make sure everything is correct with the designs. Below is a scan of some of the customs that I have made and gotten back from both past and present players. The cards for the contest winner will be the same design with a player photo and team logo.
So what is the contest?
Name the Packer player in the photo below.
I will provide hints every hour or so until someone guesses correctly.
HINT 1: Player was a member of the Packers roster (Preseason, Regular Season, or Postseason) sometime in the past 20 years.
HINT 2: Player also spent time in NFL Europe.
HINT 3: Player only appeared in 1 game (Preseason, Regular Season, or Postseason) for the Packers.
HINT 4: The NFL Europe team this player played for was the Rhein Fire.
HINT 5: The 1 game that this player played for the Packers was a preseason game in August, 1998 against the Kansas City Chiefs on foreign soil.
HINT 6: He was one of two Japanese players signed by the Packers prior to their preseason game against the Chiefs in Tokyo, Japan.
