I originally designed this set in 2010 to begin my collection of Chicago Bears alumni.  Since that time there have been three versions of the card.

​

2010 Version:  This version is a horizontal, navy blue background card with a large oval signature area with a smaller cutout of 

                        the athlete above it with the players name at the bottom.  These cards were one sided.

​

2015 Version:  For 2015, I kept the horizontal design, but changed the background to an orange pattern.  The signature area

                        is in the form of the Bears head logo and the player fills up one side of the card.  These cards are double sided,

                        with a player bio on the back of the card.  I used this style for a few years, so many of my Bears signatures are

                        on this version.  I also created a couple of 1/1 versions of this design where I pulled the sticker off of another

                        card to attach on here.

​

2018 Version:  The third version of the Monsters of the Midway cards are modeled off what the Chicago Bears franchise is

                        doing in their social media for the year.  It's a comic book design, double sided with an orange back with

                        biography.

​

2019 Version:  I stayed with the horizontal design once more, and once again played off the Bears franchise & their 

                        celebration of their 100th season.  The cards are double sided with a bit of a biography on the back.

​

2020 Version:  I made this the first horizontal design for these cards on the front, while maintaining a horizontal back for

                        text.  I also decided this year to go back and begin with many of the older Bears alumni and move forward.  I

                        modified the design off of something I saw online, and tried to give it a bit of a different color and feel to the 

                        front of the designs.
