While sifting through my personal card collection I was reminded of Star's 1985 All-Star subset that was sponsored by Miller Lite (there's also a version that uses the same player photo just with a gold border and a Crunch 'n Munch logo). I thought the Lite version would be awesome for a Fletch card. Even though I've made a number of Fletch cards I went back for one more.
Since I started making these custom cards I've done a three Fletch basketball cards starting with a 1985 Topps baseball inspired design. There was also the behind-the-scenes shot of Chevy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that I plugged into a 1986 Fleer basketball inspired design. After that was the 1985 Star Co. design with the purple Lakers border.
Not only did I think it would be a humorous addition because of the beer sponsor, but it also gave me a chance to do a custom card back.
At this point I've just resigned myself to the fact that I'll never be done making custom Chevy Chase cards.
