Frequently asked questions
What is a custom trading card?+
A custom trading card turns your own photo into a real, display-ready trading card — with a name, title, stats, and a message on the back. A serial or edition number, including 1/1, is optional.
How much does a custom trading card cost?+
A single Display Card is $20 and a 10-card Card Pack is $35 (about $3.50 a card). Designing and previewing is free — you only pay if you order.
What size are the cards?+
Standard trading card size, 2.5 x 3.5 inches — the same as sports and collectible cards, so they fit standard sleeves, top-loaders, and cases.
Is it really free to design?+
Yes — you design and preview the full card (front, back, and display case) for free, and only pay when you order the physical card.
What can I put on a custom card?+
Anyone or anything — a kid, a pet, a couple, a trip, a car, or yourself. Add a name, a title, stats, and a message on the back, and pick from eight card styles.
Does the card come in a case?+
The Display Card ships sealed in a display case (a slab), ready to stand on a shelf. The Card Pack is 10 cards for sharing.
How do I order cards for a whole team?+
Build one Card Pack with a card for each player, then share a single link so each family orders their own copies — no collecting money or shipping yourself.
What photo should I use?+
A clear, well-lit photo that fills the frame with your subject. A recent phone photo is fine — you reposition and zoom it in the live preview before ordering.
Do I need design skills or software?+
No — pick a template, upload a photo, and personalize it in the live preview. Everything happens in your browser.
Is it a real graded card?+
No. A Display Card is sealed in a display case for presentation, but it is not graded, authenticated, certified, or assigned a numeric grade by a third-party grading service.
