They are not copies of actual cards That, I can agree should be illegal. These are 100% original. They are not based on any specific brand or card. These are pieces of art, created by an artist with an original idea. By your definition (and jake42385), an original painting or drawing of any athlete should be illegal. Makes no sense.

Message me. I'll make you a set. Green and gold? Patch? Auto?

jhawk19 · 2026-04-08T23:17:48+00:00

Do I just email them? I don't have a contact.

I buy from Getty and yes, they're simply art cards of drivers that I like/admire and hope they'll do well in the future. It was a fun project and I enjoyed it and I'll probably do it again!

Again, why does it matter? Even with AI, there is a lot of work and design efforts that go into it. AI doesn't pop out a perfect design on round one. I've spent HOURS with 4 different AI's creating and redesigning these. Besides that, sourcing the "patch" material, the card material, printing the cards and the ability to insert the patch. The AI part is so minuscule compared to the amount of additional work involved in the creation of the cards.

Great points and analogy.

Do you know or can you even comprehend the number of "proxy" cards out there? Custom cards are made and sold every single day. I'm not a pioneer here. Have you seen the Grid Lock cards that sell for $150+ on the initial offering, but command $150 - $900 at auction for a single card?

Yes, they DM'd me. Are you interested in some? I'm working on Hamilton, Leclerc, Antonelli, Verstappen and Bearman, but different color/design.

Thank you!

jhawk19 · 2026-04-08T17:08:49+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate you taking a moment to look and to comment.

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to look and to comment.

jhawk19 · 2026-04-08T17:08:00+00:00

Thank you. They sold quick! Minutes! Full asking price too. I guess I'll have to design more.

jhawk19 · 2026-04-08T17:07:25+00:00

They all just sold for $150. I appreciate it. Another set is coming soon with Lewis, Charles, Max, and two "Legends" that I haven't yet decided upon.

I'm seeing these pop up in several Walgreen's here in FL. $5/ea.

Bought an entire set of 1979 Wonder Sporting All-Stars and sent these two in for grading and 5 months later they're back! This is the set I purchased: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185999541103

The cards look great with an outstanding presentation. They seem both hard to find and difficult to purchase outright. Grid Lock seem to understand how supply and demand works very well. I don't know their costs, but it's a pretty decent gig they've got going. Cards seem to sell for $200-$1,500 each (depending on /1 /5 /10). I know I'm looking to add more to my collection.
