1941 Play Ball Card Template

reds1 · 11-19-2015, 09:49 AM

In playing out my Braeland dynasty, I've noticed there is not a lot of baseball card templates for the 1940's (which is understandable).

So I decided to try and make one that I haven't seen made yet - the 1941 Play Ball Card set.

**Update: I added All-star, Award Winner and Hall of Fame variants to the set. I updated the links and samples of the additional cards are shown in another post below.

For the Hall of Fame card, I removed the "Play Ball" text at the bottom of the card on the back, to allow more room for career stats as needed.

I made a tweak on the back in version 2 as well - the player name is now more or less centered above the team, for better symmetry.

I ended up making up two sets: a standard size one and a large one. Both sets are identical to each other, with the exception of the template size.

1941 Play Ball - v2

--------

1941 Play Ball - large - v2

A big 'thank you' to klavier and fhomess for their work, which I followed line-by-line to understand how to put these together. And I may have swiped an aging layer from one of fhomess' set, as I'm clued out as to how to make that.

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Here are the All-star, Award Winner and Hall of Fame card variants that I added to the updated set. Let me know if something is amiss or needs tweaking.
