I will soon have completed a deck of BattleTech playing cards. Each card will have a Unique image attached to it (in the style of the "wanted poster" playing cards that are on the market) with text excerpts from the relative TRO entry or whatever. So far I've made the base for each card, and I've done several of the images. However, I was wondering if any of the major personalities here would like a card of themselves or them as their BT personality (with a suitable avatar). Being the set designer I'll be making one of myself of course.... but I was thinking that it'd be cool of Mordel, Chihawk, and Vagabond were also represented. That would be the 4 jokers.
As for anyone who WANTS a set of the cards once I've completed the design process, you can get them in 2 ways:
For $3US ink & S&H fee, I'll print you a set and mail them anywhere in the US. Other country shipping I'd have to quote on a person by person basis.
Or... I can send you the MSE Set file and you can download MSE and print them yourself. 
Of course, I've got to FINISH them first. I have no idea how long that will take as I've had trouble finding suitable images for some of the 'mechs I chose to use. Though so far I've only had to change 1 because I couldn't find a good pic after 10 mins or so of searching.

Not meaning that YOU are a joker.... it was just a convenient way to round out the set

Ok, here are some of the finished cards... Ok, not really finished. The Mech cards need their text and Vagabond's image is temporary.
 
 
 
 
This is the card back

They Look good Ralgith. That first Joker is a bit shakey though... 
You Could make two sets.
One IS and One Clan.
Use Faction for each suit and their Mechs for ranks.

I thought about that, but I discarded it. One set is going to be hard enough to find good images for... I'm already probably going to change the thunderhawk to something else I have a better pic for. Also I would have to re-write the entire template, which I didn't make in the first place, in order to make the 'Mechs as the "ranks"

... although making reds IS and blacks clan could sate this desire for differenciation... the other thing could be using faction logos instead of the traditional colours.

As I've already been doing...
And I should be able to add extra "suit" images easy enough. In fact I like that a lot. I'll look into it and let you guys know

You could use a 20 ton for the 2 and 30 ton for the 3...
For the paint, you could take personal mechs or famous ones..
