For Fantom:
I also decided to play around with designing a back for the cards, using the original pattern and updating to make it look nicer. I decided to go with what would likely be card #1 in the set. If I went with the original Pro Set pattern, the Arizona/Phoenix/St Louis Cardinals would be first. A is the first letter in the alphabet, so Ottis Anderson it is.
And while I was at it, I did a Giants version of Ottis.
The back was tougher to do than I thought because Photoshop is not very good for text. There's no way to set up tabs for stat entry. I had to type it out in Word then take a screen capture, crop, then paste in Photoshop. It gave it a 1997 Topps feel for back design. I like it.
