Custom Trading Cards

When I started writing articles about Do-It-Yourself Trading Cards I intended for people to do just that. However, instead I have heard from many people on how cool they think it is, but would still rather I did it for them. So I created an Order Form to expedite the process.

I designed a handful of new styles to use.

There isn’t a save function so you’ll need to plan it out ahead of time.

If you’re going to do all the designing skip the form al together and just send me an email at TradingCard@harbn.com. We’ll work out the cost from there.

If I’m going to design the cards the price structure is a $0.54 fee for each designed card. Normal and Landscape are $0.50 per printed card, Hologram and Memorabilia cards are $1.34 and $2.20 respectively. This is only because of the additional materials and labor required to make them.

I’m sure I haven’t answered all your questions here so feel free to ask them here.

Hot Wheels Storage

I usually keep a portion of my Star Cars collection on the mantle. Sometimes however, they need to come down. That sometimes most usually come along around Christmas. My wife prefers to have holiday decorations up on the mantle for a couple months. Usually the cars just get put in a box where they can slide around. This year I cut a piece of polystyrene foam with slots for each vehicle.

I placed the cars where I wanted them with a pen. Then I used a retractable knife set to the depth a wanted to cut along the outline. The foam was built by stacking thinner sheets and gluing them together to make the final thickness. It happens that there is a seam at the depth where I wanted to be. I pulled the piece I wanted to remove and it generally separated nicely.

Turbo Turret

This is the Turbo Turret # 75/250 from 2013 Hot Wheels. Someone tried to convince me that this is a recreation of one of Batman's villains vehicles. I can't for the life of me remember which one or what series it was from. I have put off buying it for a while but I figured if I can ever figure out what it was I'd rather have it than not. Can you be of any help?
