    What's the best way to reproduce these cards using the high res images? Just not sure what material to use and how to get the glossy finish on it.

    Loving this thread TB...To me the cards and coins are just as important as the figures themselves.One thing i have noticed though is that Laserbeak never got to appear on a coin,that's a shame.

    Custom Card - MP-3

    What I used is a HP Photopaper that was almost as thick as card stock, also I used Excel to print them in because depending on your printer it might distort the image. That way you can stretch it to match any existing cards you might have.

    I never made a back for this card since I keep mine in a stand that only ever faces forward.

    What I find really odd is that they use the Western names on the coins. I wonder why that is?

    I guess the Asia market likes the western names better?

    @TB- these are great mate, thankyou! For reproducing them- do you double-side print or print on two separate pieces then glue them together?
    As you've probably read I've got to get a repro done for MP11 as the one I'm getting doesn't have one for some reason, I'd like to get it as close to the real deal as I can!


    Also, where did you get your coin holders? I'm collecting these now so would love something like that for display!

    I've used HP Photo paper the thick stock and used the high quality setting on my printer to get the best look. I'd recommend you use Excel to print these out with that way you can stretch the card if need all printers are different and some tweaking will be necessary.

    As far as the coin & card holders I post that information in this thread recently.

    Update: Added MP-16 card I have yet to take pictures of the coin and that probably won't be until MP-17 Prowl gets to me. It's to much work to setup my photo studio for just a couple pictures of a coin.

    I'm thinking about making a card for Acid Storm. Would anyone else be interested in that?

    Or am I just wasting my time on these.

    Interesting tidbit popped up on an ebay auction. MP-10B coin, seems to be like the only photos in existence because I cannot find any other reference to it anywhere.

    Thank you so much for making this thread! When I started collecting MP's I was excited to learn some came with coins because I also enjoy collecting coins, fancy that! :D  Is that list a complete list of all the coins that have been released, or just the ones you have pictures for?
