Roy Walton's Oil and Cincinnati Reds???

[Roy McIlwee]

Roy Walton's "Oil and Queens" has a great ending revealing the four Queens. I want to replace the Queens for four members of the 1975 Cincinnati Reds baseball team as you patter, and "these are the Reds". Any ideas on where to have these cards made. Thank you, Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Penna.

I would look for vintage baseball trading cards of these players. Shouldn't be hard in a shop that specializes in baseball cards. Take those four cards to a copy store like Kinkos/Fed Ex and have them color copy the four cards on a sheet of paper to the dimensions of a poker sized playing card.

Cut out the four images using a straight edge cutter found in the lobby of these places. Cement the four paper images onto four blank faced playing cards. You'll have to round out the corners of each image carefully with fine scissors either before or after cementing them onto the cards.

Cards by Martin? I used to ask Doug Edwards to put together a few cards back in the day. Using dry mounting tissue and a press takes some practice.

Roy,

Maybe THESE will work.

There are more than four players from the 1975 roster represented.

I think I would go with Dave Concepcion, Ken Griffy, Johnny Bench, and Pete Rose.

If you look on ebay at times, there are sets of uncut trading cards that were distributed by the Klosterman Baking Company. No, Ken does not have any more.

I don't know the year off the top of my head but you could probably take those cards and cut them apart and use them. Since they are in a sheet form, it might be cheaper than individual more expensive cards.

Cards by Martin?

He's been dead a few years now iirc.

"Rose is a weed!" (As a Dodgers fan growing up, we used to like to chant that.)

I think Morgan and Perez would replace Griffey and Concepcion for me. What a great team the Big Red Machine was!

To the OP: if you get that deck that Brad recommends, Gary Plants http://thecardplant.com/ can make pretty much anything you want. He's my go-to guy for anytime I need a custom gaffed card, and he's a heck of a nice guy.

If you have a decent ink jet printer, you should be able to scan your images and print them directly onto blank faced cards. Saves a lot of cutting, glueing, and frustration.
