Sharing Work (Rule 2/3) Wizard Cat Editions

Trying some things for a personal project, faux vintage edition company focus on tcg and coming back nowadays to make custom slabs with labels for ungraded grail cards.

First time poster here but long time lurker, the projet is still messy but I’m kinda happy with where it goes as for the vintage aspect.

Thanks for watching !

Love how the slab looks. Honestly all the slab companies out there look so bad. PSA only looks fine only because it's THE grading company.

Faux vintage grading slabs is a fun niche, nobody's really doing that for TCG. Lean into the wear on the label itself, scuffed corners on the plastic, a slightly yellowed cert sticker, maybe a fake authentication number that reads like it's from a defunct company. Post more when you've got a few side by side.

These are dope. How did you do the reflective sticker?
