Found this funny.

GI Joe 25th anniversary Destro comic pack variant MOC - eBay (item 120289409048 end time Aug-04-08 19:28:34 PDT)

This guy does great work. I have a custom red CC on card from him.

he charges cheap and his work gets sold for hundreds id on't see it fair for him IMO

You know, when I make a custom card, I usually get emails and PMs from people asking me to make one for them too. I have been hesitant to do so, especially for this reason. As a matter of fact, I regularly turn down fellow collectors requests for custom cards. It sucks, and I would LOVE to make these things all day...but unfortunately it is not legal to do so without violating copyright laws.

Before all the drama went down with Hasbro about copyright legalities, I did make some of these cards for people (for the cost of materials) under the condition that it is kept strictly in thier personal collection FOREVER. However, it looks like that is not the case in some of these situations.

All I know is that I only make custom cards for myself now....but hopefully others on this board will pick up the hobby for themselves...becuase they are a lot of fun to make!

Again, Im sorry that Hisstank.com got drug into the item description. I dont know why they think it is an exclusive when all I did was post a picture of it in the customs section?

i agree people like the gu who's selling it all off and pissing copyright laws off ruins it for all of us who are hoiinestly wanting some cool things to keep who would have thought we would have Custom Figure Scalpers these days

It seems like this guy is just trying to make a quick buck. He doesn’t seem very bright. It looks like he doesn’t know much about copyright laws or even basic grammar.

yeah i saw his listing as well..he don't care for anyone but his money clip

He just had to list our forum in the description as well. How nice, now Hasbro will be keeping an even closer watchful eye on us.

Does he not know that what he is doing (Althought he does come right out and say that what was done) is illegal?

Way to ruin it for all of us who are capable of doing such works for our own pleasure. Who would have ever thought that counterfeiting card backs would come back to haunt us.

Wyo, my apologizes for making it out that it was you selling the figure. Glad I know it isn't because I would be surprised (for reasons mentioned previously) why you'd want to sell it online.
