Jem Wolfie

I stumbled upon Jem Wolfie on Instagram.  Jem is fitness model from Australia whose brand spans everything from nutrition to work outs.

I first saw a basketball picture of her that I'd thought would go great in the 1986-87 Fleer  basketball template.  Then I came across others that would be perfect for my TKO (1985 Topps Rocky IV) template and my 1988 Donruss baseball inspired template.

I contacted Jem about getting them autographed for my collection and she was more than happy to oblige, and so they were shipped Down Under.

Jem enjoyed the cards so much she asked me about making more for any autograph requests she gets. She selected the image and the 1986-87 Fleer basketball design.  Jem was the first person to request cards from me for personal use and I have to admit that was a bit of a high.  I even got one of the new cards signed for me, and the picture with the card sweetened the pot.

Kate Upton

No mystery as to why I would choose to do a Kate Upton custom.  Shouldn't be anyways.  The first card is designed after the 1985 Topps Rocky IV set.  I call it my TKO! Series - that's corny for Total Knock Out!, and it's usually my go to template for the fairer sex that I'd like to make a card of, models and such.

This card is another using my 1985 Topps template.  I used it a lot at first until I started trying out other vintage designs.  I did this one for the Justin Verlander connection to my hometown Tigers.  I'd like to consider Kate (also an MI native) an honorary Tiger.

I've sent copies to an agency that represents her.  It's been awhile, but I'm willing to wait if they actually come through.
