SHIPPING INFORMATION
I ship Fridays. If payment is not received by 8AM Friday morning, your item may not ship until the following week!
I apologize for delays, but I am a one-man gang on this stuff.
IMAGES YOU SEE
Most of the images you will see are in our own archives.
Prior to offering these cards, I have been an avid collector of vintage negatives for 30+ years.
In addition, thousands of images have been donated from various archives and some are paid for and licensed individually.
The goal is to provide new looks at players and even do a new take on an old image!
REFUND POLICY/RETURNS
As much as I would like to allow returns, due to the nature of custom, limited population collectibles, refunds and returns are not possible.
Please review the listing and ask as many questions as you would like.
If you are not happy with your item, PLEASE contact me directly and explain the issue.
I will make a legitimate and thoughtful effort to please each and every collector!
Thank you!
For the past 20 years I have been producing custom baseball cards that transport the collector back in time with fresh colors, textures, styles and the magic of collecting.
The cards, themselves are mounted to substrates as old as 100 years!!! This means that the cardboard stock is actually vintage!!
These cards are slightly thicker than standard cards, hand painted, hand distressed and built layer by painstaking layer! Each card takes between 1-4 hours to produce--it is a labor of love. They are first painted B&W original photos and negatives...EVERYTHING YOU SEE WAS black & white. Professional and customized software applications are then "pressed" into the artwork. These adaptations and filters are reminiscent of vintage plate style printers. The process in quite involved and requires trial and error and patience...but the end result is typically worth the wait! By using a truly vintage process, materials and operating with individual color plates, there will be shifts in focus and detail. No detail was spared in making these. In addition, we are ALWAYS busy looking to improve the authenticity factors in every offering.
Our production goal is to produce a desirable card while honoring the shortcomings of the processes in each era. Striking a balance is the key. For example, the Leaf sets in the late '40s are difficult and exciting but, sadly, the production is just awful. We will try to produce cards that honor the difficulty while still maintaining a presentable and attractive collectible.
These cards will excite your senses and get your imagination going for sure! If you would like to learn more, look us up on line at BantyRed.com
