Cricket Trading Cards

[nazimcricket]

Hi all,

I'm an amateur collector of cricket memorabilia (NAZIM'S CRICKET PAGE 2). After 20 years of collecting, I decided to take on a bit of a risky project and produce my own set of trading cards based on UK artist John Ireland's amazing caricatures.

Working closely with John and having secured the services of Sir Richard Hadlee and Greg Chappell in agreeing to sign a limited number of cards, I am now getting close to producing the end product. Hoping to have them ready by December 2013 - January 2014.

Here is some information about the set ...
NAZIM'S CRICKET PAGE 2 (John Ireland)

The goal is to split the set into two sections ...

- Cards # 001 - 100 will comprise of a base set of 50 cards (1 header card, 47 caricatures, 2 checklists) plus the two signature cards from Hadlee and Chappell - projected price $150.

- Cards # 101 - 1000 will comprise of a base set of 50 cards (1 header card, 47 caricatures, 2 checklists) - projected price $35

Trying my best to spread the word.

Cheers,

Naz

Thank you. Hopefully the printer will do the set justice. Hoping to get them ready before the Ashes series in Australia, so lots to do in a short space of time

Looks really fantastic buddy. Maybe you could add a few more ways to pay like a bank gateway etc..

Looks great man, might pick up a set.

 

[Villain]

They sure look great,good luck man.And I'd suggest you to add some watermarks to avoid your hard-work getting ripped.

Wow. Nice work man. It all shearing is amazing. Very well done.

Update

Thanks for the great comments guys.

@yashdude101 - I made a conscious decision not to worry about watermarks. They can be removed and besides at 72 - 150dpi people will end up with a very poor substitute of the real thing

Since I last posted here, the set has come together nicely. Both Chappell and Hadlee have signed their respective cards. They're looking really nice ...

Feel free to come along and buy a set or two through my website

How'd you get them to sign them? Personal friends or something?

Not at all. I just wrote to a whole bunch of cricketers and these two guys were kind enough to step up to the plate

 

[thedon5]

Hah, good job then, a lot of effort you put into these.

 

[nazimcricket]

Thought I'd post up an update. Sales have been going reasonably well. Had to readjust pricing up from the early projections, but still quite reasonable. Figured it wouldn't hurt to remind people again that these are still available for purchase and are much nicer in hand than what you can see on a computer screen.

Sorry, missed your comment the last time I posted on here. Have settled on two methods for payment, either Paypal or bank deposit to my Australian bank account. Any other method would just be a bit messier to sort through and set up, but am open to suggestions
