Reader Dave of Suburban Chicago thinks he can top Topps, even though he admits to liking the real 2008 design.

"I actually dig the '08 Topps design, just looking for an excuse to design a card. I was influenced by the 1980 and 2001 Topps designs."

I've got to tell you, this is about as professional-looking as I've seen yet. Dave's submission begs the question: does he secretly work at Topps or one of the other manufacturers?


Think you can design a better card than 2008 Topps? Or maybe just want to share a design with the rest of the world? Send me your design and I'll post it on the blog.
