Custom McFarlane

Coggs saw your pics on the McFarlane board. Really awesome stuff! It is really cool that such a legend was so down to earth and willing to do that for you. Really awesome. I had tried to set something up for Patrick at the CSA show last year and unfortunately it didn't work out. As was stated before a lot of players aren't appreciative of what you do and they think that you should be doing this kind of work for free.

Yeah, when he and I first exchanged emails I had said I would normally charge about $350-400 for this, but if we wanted to work out some kind of trade that would be cool, too. When I finished it, I emailed him pics and he gave me his number for me to call him. Told me he'd be in NY the weekend of the opener, said if I wanted I could bring as much stuff as I want, he'd sign it all and I could sell it. As I was talking to him, I mentioned I was going to New Orleans for the Giants game and he said he was going to be there that weekend too and I better call him to meet up.

The CSA show I think would be a little tougher only because it is so much more crowded. The day before I brought this to Marshall, LT did a signing as part of a huge Giants show. Didnt want to bring it then as I didnt want to be walking around with it. If I can ever find LT doing a signing on his own or a smaller setting, I'll bring it then. Would also even drive down to the DC area to have Jacoby see it and sign it.

In my opinion,the top 3 guys are Ptrac, jomo(customsbyjomo.com) and jamf (bluechipcustoms.com). Their work is unreal. If you want a football re-paint, ptrac is tops, jomo seems to be focusing more on baseball lately. JAMF doesnt seem to be doing as much, but when it comes to custom poses, he is great. Basically, you can send him any picture,and he can create it.
