When We Were Kids

Post by AbraCalabro »

Anyone ever work with this dude? Emailed him a while back and never heard back from him. Is he more active on social media?

Looks like he's active on IG. I can drop him a DM if you want, just lmk.

Hey bro, yeah that would be awesome. I was wondering if I could do my own designs and he could print them and was wondering what effects he's able to replicate. In particular, that 96/97 Legacy Collection / Skybox Emotion N-Tense teal holofoil we both love so much...and also holograms, ala Upper Deck's logo / name hologram on the back of cards.

I think I very recently heard Wax Museum mention that he had this person make him a Haliburton Linchpins custom. A quick youtube search yielded this video that might be of interest to you:

Dude that's pretty nice. I saw he did some great looking shoe theme cards as well, basically everything is sold out. Would be SWEET to get a Kemp with some Kamikaze IIs.

Love the stuff they put out - the pricing is very reasonable too. The shoe sets that have been popping up are fire. I wonder what Fanatics pays card designers - officially licensed and SSPs and those cards would be the most desired inserts to drop in a long time.

I think he's more active on IG but sometimes it takes him a little longer to get back on there, too. If Ryan wasn't able to help, I can try to reach out as well.

Here's my contribution from Cory. He has made some really nice customs. He also does great clothing designs. I bought a limited edition Kobe hoodie from him last year that I absolutely love. Very nice guy, with his head in the right place when it comes to the hobby.

That’s nice!

Maybe you’d have better luck getting him in touch with Abra. I messaged him on IG but never heard back. Probably dropped in his requests folder though I bet.

Unfortunately no luck lol, never ever heard back from him. I just kinda' forgot about it. Would have been cool to work with him and crank out some 90s inspired stuff and to see what effects he was capable of recreating, but, not in the cards, it seems. (no pun intended)
