Hey guys. Ive been trying for almost a year now to figure out a good way to duplicate the 25th foil cards. My last method involved masking and painting all the borders, and text. Well, the other day I saw this on ebay.....
http://cgi.ebay.com/PROFESSIONAL-CUS...QQcmdZViewItem And I was like, HOW DID HE DO THAT? Well, I started thinking about it and I figured the way he must of done it is by placing photo paper over the card, and hand cutting the letters, trim and bubble. So, I took a closer look at it and I realized that he didnt do that. He only printed the card art, and attached that. If you look close, you can see a seam right below the GIJOE text. While that is still cool, I wanted to try something similar and eliminate that seem. So, I printed out one of my Baroness cards, hand cut out everything, and glued it down to chrome paper. Then made the rest of the card. It actually turned out pretty sweet! It displays great and is SUPER reflective. There is a tiny edge but its hardly noticeable. Of course, Ill keep experimenting....but this is probably as close as Ill get. Sam |

Something else that might work is "Bare Metal Foil" or "Krome Foil" by Detail Master. It is an adhesive-backed very thin aluminum foil. I use it for plastic models to simulate chrome trim and emblems on cars. I would think that you could print out a cardback on regular paper, then cut the G.I. Joe logo out of the foil sheets and stick them to the cardback. It might be a lot more work, but maybe something else to try.
