So I've been playing around with Wii baseball off and on since I got my Wii back in April. It's a lot of fun though not really as accurate a baseball game as I'd like. I think the Wii has great potential for baseball games so, so I'm looking forward to getting one of the 2009 MLB games.
Well, I got to thinking... Mario at Wax Heaven has a baseball card, Dayf has one... why can't I? With camera in hand, I started up Wii baseball, loaded myself and took a picture of my TV screen that managed to come out with not a single scan line! Then I spent the last three hours making a 1988 Score card from scratch for myself (including the Score logo and stars, that was a pain in the ass).
Considering I have no photoshop skills and this thing was made all in MS Paint, I think I did a pretty darn good job. Maybe tomorrow I'll make a back for it. Then I could print one, autograph it and make a 1/1, or cut up a shirt and make some game used relic cards. The possibilities are endless!
EDIT: I even thought far enough ahead that I took the card apart and made a template of each piece, now I can make all the parallel versions I want... for what it's worth, black bordered '88 Score cards look amazing. heh heh...

Haha, awesome. I suppose any baseball card blogger ought to have his or her own card....I need to get on that!
That is awesome! You're making me want to quit buying cards and buy a Wii instead though...
Great job!
I showed that to my kids, and they thhought it was the coolest homemade card yet. Dang it. :-)
