Mississippi's Newest Member of the College Football Hall of Fame Sean Brewer
Son of Ole Miss Rebel and Cleveland Browns Star Johnny Brewer, Sean inherited his father's football skills and was a first team All-American three of his four years at Millsaps College. His record setting career at the Div.III school was great enough to earn him a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame and also along with his father in the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame.

Updated 1953 Bowman Style Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese
I usually create cards with the intention of having them autographed. I added a few facsimile signatures to a few of the 1953 Bowman style cards that I recently made and I think they came out o.k..

Custom Cards For Sale
Any card that you see is available for sale. My custom cards are handmade with top quality materials to give each card the look and feel of a vintage card. They are the same size and thickness as a regular issue Topps card. Each card is complete with the player's information on the back. My goal in designing these cards was to make cards of players that did not have a regular issued card ( Topps, Bowman, Fleer, etc.) available. They are great for autographs! Because they are handmade, ten or fewer copies of each card are made.
Prices are $4 each for 1-5 cards,$3 per card for 6-10 cards and $2.50 if you would like more than 10 cards. I combine shipping on multiple orders, please add $3 for shipping for 1-20 cards and any order over 20 cards ships free. Please email me at cooperlee9965@yahoo.com to place your order.

Sport Magazine Photo Series
The Sport Magazine from the 40's through the 60's had the most incredible photos. I've liked to collect them through the years but unless you cut them out and frame them, they are hard to enjoy. So I've turned a bunch into cards. I have tried using several different designs but the photos are so great that I hate to take away from them. These are simple but I really like them.
My Favorite Custom - Harold Peeples 1941 Ole Miss Rebels Basketball
This is my favorite custom thus far, Harold Peeples, captain of the 1941 Ole Miss Rebels Basketball team. Mr.Peeples was my next door neighbor growing up. He was like a grandfather to me and taught me to play basketball. He shot free throws underhanded and all other shots he took off of his right shoulder. He was a huge Boston Celtics fan and I watched so many games during the 80's in his living room. I rode with him to church every Sunday, a five minute trip, but we would make it there 30 minutes before anyone else would get there. My favorite memory of him though is that he would lead the prayer in church often, and he would pray in King James english.
Johnny Baker Mississippi State Bulldogs Legend! Houston Oilers
My main collecting focus is both Ole Miss and members of the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. Mr. Baker was a standout back at State from 1959-62 and had a 5 year pro career. His autograph was eluding me though, and I am happy to get these back! This one is a stamp though, but still a success.
