The idea for this set came about in a forum thread about business cards. I suggested business cards that looked like baseball cards.

Well, that planted the seed in my creative mind. I then set out to see if it was possible to make my own baseball cards on my home printer. First, I had to find cardstock that would work in my printer. I found some very inexpensive artists watercolor stock. There was a lot of setting up and test printing involved to get the fronts and backs to align. Then I used the Custom Card tool on Topps' website to create the card templates. Most of the cards were simply photos, but a few I got creative with photoshopping (Admin, rmpaq5, and Vvvergeer). Other graphic elements I had to design were the two TCDB logos and card number baseball. I designed the C2Cigars "smoking cigar" logo in 1996 when the C2Cigars Club was founded. The most laborious part was cutting all the cards by hand with a straight-edge and utility knife.

The cards were packaged in glassine (wax) envelopes that I sealed with wax. So they were literally released in "wax packs".
