I’m a few days into this card blogging thing, and just realized that I haven’t posted any cards of the legend himself, Joey Votto. So let’s fix that.
Here are two new custom Votto cards based on the 1977 Topps design. Votto is a great player on the field and an even better guy off the field. He’s everything you want your star player to be.
Also…to honor the fact that Aristides Aquino hit ANOTHER record-breaking homer last night (his 13th in only 100 at bats) I’ve thrown in another Aquino design for the Topps ’77 set. Once I saw this pic of him in that classic throwback uniform, I knew I had to put it on a card. To be honest, this might be my favorite card design so far.

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of hearing about Aquino home runs.

And he hit ANOTHER ONE tonight! 14 this month. Crazy.
By the way, thanks for being the first person to actually comment on my new blog. It’s kind of appropriate, since your kind words about my first card designs inspired me to create this site in the first place.

You did a good job on the 1977’s… What’s the font you use for the player name?
