    I like how you have the meatier Bale in the circle below. It's like having both the young and old Elvis stamps.

  • S.T. VanAirsdale says:

    Thanks! Yeah, that's what was great about '83 Topps: the action shot and the pose, laid out just so. It wasn't the first card to do that, but the circular inset is really kind of perfect for showcasing all these intense artists in more relaxed, even fun environments.

    Holy Shiite, Sadam. You know what I just recalled? I think I have 1983 Topps cards from The Return of the Jedi. These are better, though, 'cause there's no crappy gum I have to chew to get 'em.
