First, I creat a semi-transparent background, usually the players home stadium. Thus, that is Shibe Park behind Newcombe, Braves Field behind Mize.
Then, I superimpose the players picture, with the background erased, over that. In the case of Mize, Newcombe, Shantz I had to change their teams. The only good picture I could find of Mize was as a Yankee, so I did what I could to get rid of the pinstripes and reworked the hat to make him a Brave. Shantz and Newcombe effectively just traded hat logos...
I faded and softened things to get rid of harsh edges, added the seperating lines, text and team logos...and...there they are.
