Sharing my custom baseball cards

awoolley42 · 07-12-2025, 06:31 PM

This is my first post thread/post. I apologize if I am starting in the wrong location, but this relates to a fictional simulation.

I have watched my son play OOTP for years. I was always somewhat intimidated because of the complexity and depth of the game. A few weeks ago he convinced me to try it out and join his longtime online random debut league. So I took over the Phillies, a struggling team with an interesting roster.

I am a big baseball card collector and a very visual person. It wasn’t long before I started creating baseball cards for my team and the other owners in the league.

This thread is intended to show off the cards I created. Let me know your feedback. I am always open for input or suggestions. My first card was for the biggest name on my roster, the still productive at 35 years old Babe Ruth.

I was immediately thrown into the game during the off season and got to draft some new Phillies. Of course I had to make some “draft pick” cards

Everything was going according to plan until I lost Tony Taylor, my starting second baseman which left me scrambling to put together alternatives. I went into the All Star game in first place and feeling very good.

I needed to improve the production I was getting from LF… so I made my first trade, acquiring a very young Mookie Wilson.

By the time my first All Star game rolled around I had discovered that I really liked the challenge of taking random players and putting the in different uniforms. The results are definitely interesting.

Nah why does Mookie look like Cedric Mullins? ��

That’s funny. I think the real question is why does Cedric look like Mookie?

Can I get the templates for these to install for my 1870s league? I've been looking for cards that work for that kind of fictional world, and would love to feature these

All my templates are in photoshop (psd) format. I would be happy to share. Send me a DM

These are great! I'm only in 1925 for my Random Debut League, but have a lot of the same star players active that you seem to....Cobb, Donlin, Seager, Berra and Sisler are all in my league right now too.

I am in 1999 in mine as the expansion Rays, and in our first draft we got Koufax in the first and Satchel Paige in the second. We just drafted Ted Williams #1 in the 1999 draft

These are amazing. How the hell did you make these?
