    Man, you're really cranking them out! Looking good so far .

    I like what you are doing with the different colored cards so the colors match up with the figure. Here's a couple things i'd try to see how it would look:

    - Try the logo without the white circle.
    - Now that you have incorporated the logo, i'd eliminate the text at the top of the card.

      Thanks. I'll try that with the logo and see how it works. I've also gotten some different fonts to use - a snow/icy one for Captain Cold.

      I've gotten the feel for working Photoshop and manipulating the different levels and it's even gotten easier to get a figure shot minus the background.

      If you don't mind my asking how many of the Super Powers cards did you have made and how many do you have left. I'll probably stick to printing these out myself but I am wondering what kind of interest ( quantity wise ) there might be for these Retro ones.

      --------------------------------
      I ran one up quick to see what it look like, not bad. Thanks for the suggestion.

          Oh yeah, THAT'S what I'm talking about!!! Very cool!

          If you wanted, you could even leave off their secret identities off the front...just have it in the info on the back of the card.

          Can't wait for these....!

                Ok, I've been working on some different designs based on the input I've gotten and here are the options I've come up with. I'm thinking either #2 or 4 are the best design. What do you think?

                1. Retro text on top white circle logo on bottom

                2. Retro text on top logo on bottom - no white circle

                3. No text on top and logo on bottom

                4. Logo on top

                  I wanna collect them all! I love all cards thus far
                  I would go with your last version of the card #4
                  NO SIR, I DIDN'T SEE YOU PLAYING WITH YOUR DOLLS AGAIN.

                    Cool.... i'm liking #4 . Don't know how much you followed my thread but make sure you are doing them at least 300 dpi..... i did mine at 600 dpi to be safe.

                    I am sending a PM to you in a few minutes concerning a couple of other questions you asked me earlier in the thread.

                            I really like the Sinestro one... really good pose. You've really captured some "character" with that shot. Please put me on the list to get these!
