Howdy all!!!! I just got a call about a plaque shaped like a baketball. It should be able to hold a 4x6 picture at the top and plates at the bottom. simular to a perpetual plaue. Has anyone ever seen something like this? Any ideas?????? 8-O 8-O 8-O

I've never seen anything like that, but I'm sure some of our wonderful suppliers could help you.

Smith Wood Products, Big Sky Woodcrafters and Colorado Heirloom come to mind immediately.

The March issue of Recognition Review (page 55) has an ad from Unisub that shows exactly what you are looking for. Only thing is, it is completely sublimated on basketball, baseball and football shaped material. It shows an image of a baseball that has the photo sublimated in the center with text above and below.

Funky,

Sorry on that last post. I just read that it was a perpetual plaque that you were interested in. My bad. Unisub did not have one with perpetual plates. Sorry!

It could still be a sublimated plaque with plates added on top of the sublimation.

Boy do we all think the same here or what.. I just got up from a I-) while resting I thought of a way I might do this. some of the suggestions just happened to be in my plans. Not going to tell you them though. I smell retirement coming on here, if this works. :P
I'll let you all know by the end of the week. Maybe even a picture.
I didn't think I saw a plaque made like the way the custumer what but wasn't for sure. Still open for suggestions.

Drico Products could create a simple variation of their standard plaque to provide space for the photograph. http://www.dricoproducts.com/SOPP.htm

Do you WORK? Or do you just search the net all day? How in the heck did you find that? You should hire yourself out as a product finder or consultant or something.....you would probably make a LOT more money.

I have never seen anything like this. YOU are an anomaly. YOU are ODD, you are.........are......are...........I don't know what you are. AMAZING!!!!


That'll be $10.00 please. B-)

I spoke with the owner of Drico Products a few weeks ago. He sent me some hi-res photos of their plaques on CD. I remembered seeing them on that CD.

:P :P :P :P I agree Chuck.. He's just one of those guys that can do it all. I'm going to give these people a jingle!!!!. Give yourself a pat on the back, but don't hurt yourself. I might need you to find something else for me.

Funky - The folks at Drico are the greatest. I have had some very large custom perpetual plaques made by them and the quality and service are excellent. I could not think of anyone who does a better job of customer satisfaction than them. They had one of the busiest displays at the ARA show in Las Vegas. Tell them I said HI.
