Fantastic commentary. I strive to see as much detail and story in cards like you do.

I especially like the caption for Gooden. Spot on.

Thanks for looking Statsnerd and GoldenEagle555! I really appreciate the feedback. I like making these when I have set binders out! It gets me to look at each card very closely and find a story in it. Like the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Really helps me enjoy and bring the set to life.
