I have about two dozen Leon Durham cards in my collection so it may or may not surprise you that I went with two customs and a shared card in addition to yesterday's record instead of a more mainstream Topps/Donruss/Fleer issue.
But until I have one, the obvious choice for me to start will always be an ATCRCS card.
Surprisingly, there weren't a lot of great pictures of Durham to choose from when making this card. But the chain, the hair and the glasses are the epitome of a Leon Durham card from the 80's.
Next up is a color photo I found. Again, not necessarily the best photo but for 30 year old color photos, I'll take what I can get. And the effect I gave the type of custom gives him a creepy stare. Oh well, I still love it!

And not but not least, the shared card. This has to be one of my favorite cards (that I didn't make) in my collection now.
The Jenkins autograph was obtained almost 2 years ago and I was waiting for a Durham signing to come up. Not only do the autographs look pretty good, but the card itself is in great shape for 32 year old cardboard. I would like to see Topps do something like this again, rather than the league leaders.
The ATCRCS card puts me at 99 shown of here on the blog. Number 100 will be a pretty big fan favorite and Durham's heir to first base!
Man, that Durham/Jenkins card is pretty awesome with both signatures. Although, I think I like your ATCRCS card more that has Leon sporting the blue jersey top and the red batting gloves. That is a well done card and Leon placed the auto perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI like both the customs.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have the '13 Archives autograph I would be happy to send it to you for most anything in return.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys.
ReplyDeleteI'll check on that Archives autograph.
