I love, love, love these cards. I have even put some of Steve's creations on this site (a Ricky Seilheimer 1981 Topps, a Mick Kelleher 1973 Topps and a Rick Stelmaszek 1974 Topps Traded).
I am not very talented with PhotoShop or other such programs. My cut-and-paste skills were fantastic in the pre-pc days, but have since been totally put to shame. With that being written, I have ventured into the 'Cards That Never Were' action.
Of course, my first attempt had to be a card of Mike Squires. I am still hoping for a 1976 card of Squires in the old red and blue uniform, but I decided to make a 1977 card of him.
I know, Squires didn't even play in 1976 and barely played in 1977. I also know Squires had a Topps rookie card in 1979 (which was shared with Mike Colbern and Ross Baumgarten). Still, I chose 1977, because it was the easiest card for a novice like me to create.
I will put out this offer, however. If any of my fellow bloggers creates a Squires card from 1976, 1978, 1979 (non-rookie) or 1986 (Final Tribute), I will devote a blog to you, the card and your blog and I promise to send over a small stack of cards from your 'Want List' as thanks.
Now, without further adieu, I present how a Mike Squires 1977 Topps card might have looked.

If you can provide the pics, I can make them for you if no one else wants to. I just did a Google image search, and didn't see anything large enough to use at first glance.
Great job!
I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for a Squires picture in the old red and blue uniform. If I do find one, the card will be done! :)
awesome. love the black eye!
I appreciate the comments. Of course, I know this was a simple creation, as opposed to some of the work you all have done.
