One person sent me a version of a 1975 Topps Rookie Infielders featuring Squires in one of the slots. This card is very cool and very unexpected. I like the choice of including Squires in this card, because crosstown rookie Manny Trillo is also on the card. How often do you get a card featuring players from both Chicago teams?
Unfortunately, the sender remains anonymous. Please shoot me an email with your info, so I can give you proper credit.
The other creation was sent by Steve over at White Sox Cards. Steve is a virtual card genius! Every creation of his is a masterpiece and he has done several for me. I appreciate all of them.An interesting and difficult part of the 1976 Topps card Steve created is the position. I didn't even realize that Topps did not give the Sox a 1st baseman in this set. This is hard to believe, but it is true. See, they should have included Squires!
These cards have a special element. They depict Squires in the red pinstripes that the Sox wore in the early 70's when I first started following them. Maybe it is nostalgia, but I still miss those uniforms.I love these card creations. I can now rest easily, since all of the possible missing cards of Squires have been made. Thanks to everyone who has contributed!

Always glad to help when I can!
That 1975 Topps card is great!
Steve,
Your contributions are always greatly appreciated. I do think that my Squires madness is over, as I now have all of the missing cards.
As for the 1975, I have no idea who sent it, but I appreciate it, too.
