The Old Dog Presents: A Series of Steemit Trading Cards Featuring Your Favorite Steemers! Contest!
I'm thrilled to announce the first in a series of 2017 Steemit Trading Cards featuring some of Steemit's greatest contributors.
Contest to Submit a Graphic Format For The Steemit Trading Cards!
Here below I've offered up a quick sample of what I have in mind but I'd like one of you to turn my idea into a snazzy looking collectible of 2017 Steemit all-stars!

A Prize That Keeps on Giving as it Turns Into a Steemgig!
The member selected as having the winning format may then have the opportunity of being paid 20 Steem for each future card that we produce. I will supply the text and the photo and then the format can be used again!
How many cards will we produce? Who knows? Let's see how it goes but at least 5-10 of the top Steemers will be featured with their own trading card!

I love it! Very nice!
I'll give you three Old Dog, mint condition, for one Papa Pepper (any condition). And I'll throw in a Onceuponatime for free.
Great contest! Upvoted, Promoted, and resteemed!
Nobody wants a Onceuponatime @onceuponatime...;)
" three Old Dog, mint condition, for one Papa Pepper (any condition)."
That sounds about right!
ahahahahaha everyone loves @papa-pepper and rightfully so!
True!
Lots of love to our Dawg too!
Hi bro, I left you an urgent message on steemit.chat
I give you 1 @rival and 1 @mirandavp both in mint condition for 1 @onceuponatime.. And if you think the deal is not ok I will send the STEEM power ranger to negotiate ;-)

LOL!
I have a set I've designed for this purpose, but the project got shelved when I got busy.
Here is the original image I designed and the post that shows my process.
Here is the template using the image and text you've provided.
My format has limitations, but you get the idea.
I have designed and printed physical cards before. I have a set of cards that were made by mashing up food and drink emoji with lowpoly style art. Here are samples:
There is also a shelved printed card game I made called Eshelon. Here are samples:
Great ideas going on here, you should get with some of these other card makers in the comments here if you fully give up on the project you had going on.
Very good efforts. nice to see you working on those projects!
Already been working on them and I am up to card 11, you should check them out! @ned is even using my art on his twitter account for now, which I thought was pretty cool.

These are awesome. You really have some talent mate.
whoa!! badass man!!
Really nice, I like the idea to make it more like a drawing, some stats on the backside?
I put an example above of what I had in mind.
Yow.. Great work
Hey wow they look great. I had no idea! Congrats on your success!
I'm looking for something a little different. More like a sports card with a little bio and some stats front and back.
I'll keep on checking your work and way o go!
I was about to drop a comment showing that you have made cards and there is also @fishmon who has a great set that has already started shipping physical cards https://steemit.com/steemitcards/@fishmon/shipping-out-steemit-cards-2017912t23837733z
I love seeing now there is a third set of Steemit based cards, can't wait to see more, so many users on Steemit each set I have seen so far only is capturing certain users or things that others aren't, the variety is awesome.
With 100's of thousand of members it's great to see variety in style and members that are featured. Thanks for letting me know! My idea was more along the lines of a sports card like hockey or baseball.

wouldn't they get in trouble using the blizzards heartstone card design? I'm sure it's copyrighted.
I have no idea about Hearstone so can't comment, but if it's the same thing, I am not sure how the copyright law works if this is just fan stuff we are passing around Steemit users for fun versus printing them up and trying to sell them. I have not followed up on @fishmon's cards that heavily to know if that is what is going on, but I would definitely be weary of compensation for the work.
WICKED IDEA!!!
Thanks for sharing this new initiative with us and I sure hope the ball will roll like crazy on this one as there is so much potential for it to be a huge success.
Upvoted, resteemed and shared!
Namaste :)
Thanks so much!
Fantastic idea. A little Old School from the Old Dog, I like it
My Grandfather (my Mom's Dad) owned a baseball trading card & collectibles shop for many years. My aunt, @lifes-a-donut, worked there for many years as well. I remember going in there from time to time when I was little.
And by the way, you picked a great Steemian for your example. @papa-pepper is indeed a phenom. I really don't know how he does it all.
I would like one made of you sister, and it should be scratch and sniff, so it smells like chocolate.
(:
Agreed @gringalicious!!! @papa-pepper is an example for us all--truly inspiring!!
Who knows maybe you'll be next! Another great Steemian!
You are a sweet heart.
Cool idea... Kind of like what @steemitadventure has been doing for a few months.
That was my thinking but these seem like photo's with writing, so NOT what @steemitadventure is doing.
I added a baseball card to the post as an example.
Yes they are nice but my vision is a bit different. Moe like a sports trading card!
Cool Idea, I hope I can join!!
Well since you're a graphic artist I suppose you should and I hope that you will!
@kus-knee, a brilliant idea, I will come along. thank you everyone. Thanks you @papa-pepper
I like your slogan "Dream it Steem it!!
I did it wrong!
Can I have another contest? ;)

OK @paolobeneforti, I agree that it's not exactly what I'm looking for but I love the sketch! It looks COOL!
thx Old Dog. :)
