Max Venable 3/3 c/o Portland Beavers; 15 days. Fleer ;84, Topps '86, Leaf '90. Blue Sharpie; personalized the Leaf '90 card

[RedSox15MVP]

How do you do the 8x10 blowup of cards? And do it without blurring them?

How do you do the 8x10 blowup of cards? And do it without blurring them?

I take them to my local Office Depot. The actual cards themselves come out beautiful, but cards I find online will somtimes blur. The size settings they use when they blow up the cards is usually 340x by 314y.

If you get cards blown up, make sure to get them on card stock so there's no or minimal Sharpie bleed-thru.

Believe me...my local Office Depot LOVES me

Looks like I had perfect timing with Randy Ready. He got named the Padres hitting coach after he sent my pics back.

[worldwideed]

I had to sit on #299 for a week and a half and it was torture.

I actually go two envelopes from Mr. Roenicke. One I sent loooooooog ago and contained 2 84 Topps, the other was sent about 6 weeks ago and contained the 84 Fleer below.

Also in today was another looooooooong success, I have no record of when I sent it and my old DB is corrupt.
The 88 Topps is FT

Okay. Thanks. I've got a ball signed by Thomson and I'm hoping to get Branca and Pafko to sign it as well.
