A good friend of mine put in a request for a batch of coasters and he even supplied me with a couple of the cards. I'm on the road again this weekend visiting him in the state where everything is bigger.
Time for delivery!
His wife is a HUGE George Brett fan, thus the mini 1987 of most popular Royal of them all:
Cubs? Heck yeah! Andre Dawson!
Ron Santo!
Ernie Banks!
I think the Mr. Cub coaster turned out the best.
All were made with epoxy resin, blue self-sticking felt, and a pinch of glitter for the backgrounds. Definitely one of my better batches, even if I had to take an exacto knife to make the Santo card fit within my coaster mold. A don't know if a mini or Ron Santo wearing a Cubs uniform exists. Why does Topps ignore certain Hall-of-Famer players like they tend to do?
Those are beautiful!

ReplyDeleteAs far as I know there have never been any Ron Santo minis.
