I was a little bummed that I couldn't have added Stanley "Secret Weapon" Hudson to my "Scanton Hoops" mini-set. The orientation of the image just wouldn't work with the 1980-81 Topps basketball layout. I still wanted to make a card for Stanley so I decided to put it into a 1989-90 Fleer basketball inspired template. I chose that particular basketball design because I liked the idea of putting "Secret Weapon" under the border curl.
While I was making this card a couple other fun trading card ideas for The Office came to mind. I'm surprised it took me this long to make a "Prison Mike" card. That one skit is probably my favorite of the entire series. I've certainly watched those four-and-a-half minutes more than any other scene. For this card I went to maybe my favorite template to use, the 1984 Topps baseball inspired design. I love the vertical lettering and the inset head shot in the corner. Classic stuff. Making this card, for whatever reason, also gave me an inspiration to make an Andy Bernard card. He went to Cornell ya know, ever heard of it? I chose again to use the same 1984 design as with the "Prison Mike" card.
