Is there a tutorial on how to create a baseball card template? How hard is it?

I've been wanting to try to make one

Thanks!

Back when the baseball card feature was introduced in OOTP11, BMW wrote a PDF file that outlined the process of making baseball cards. Since then, the fonts and tokens used to generate the cards have been updated.

You can find the PDF file as well as a list of current information at my StatsLab wiki on this page.

I'd recommend reading through that information while looking at the XML templates for a baseball card you like so you can understand how things work in practice.

I basically learned by looking at a certain template, and editing it to match the card I was making. Also, I would ask questions on this board which would always get answered by somebody more knowledgable.
