Saw a post on Facebook last night by Very Graphic Designs promoting designs for 2013-14 Australian Baseball League cards. Appears to be promotional work for a company called
Dingo Swap cards - I've not heard of them before, but I have to say that the preview cards look very nice. There are some great player shots on these cards - love the Hightower card especially. I'm presuming that they're done by
Very Graphic Designs - the same gent who designed the
Brisbane Bandits team issued sets last year.
Here's the promotional ad:
And here are the card previews put up onto Facebook (Just to reiterate, these aren't my card designs):

It's a great idea - I hope they get traction. The Select cards last year were a step in the right direction, but were let down by poor quality control and average photography choices. One of the gimmicks Dingo are trying to use is the concept of producing a card for every player from every team. I'm not sure exactly what that means - the rosters do change over the season, so it would be a reasonably large set - probably 210+ cards, maybe closer to 250, and there were several players who only made extremely brief appearances fro single games.Still, it would be nice if they can get the licencing.
David Nilsson's nickname is Dingo and his family is in the printing business so perhaps this could be a Nilsson card venture? Just an idea I don't know for certain.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're spot on! Dingo Print is owned by Australian Baseball Royalty - aka the Nilssons. Hope there are some Dave Nilsson flashback autograph inserts in there if they get the licence ;)
