Father's Day trading card
He already bought the thing he wanted. Give him this instead.

The short answer
A Father's Day trading card is a custom card made from your own photo — his kids, his dog, his car, or a trip you took together — with a title, a stat line, and a message on the back. It arrives sealed in a display case with an optional serial or edition number. Designing is free with Cardbop; a Display Card is $20, and the Big Kid Toys style is built for whatever is sitting in his garage.
Cards that land on Father's Day
His car, his boat, his build
The thing in the garage he talks about constantly. Give it the collector treatment it clearly deserves.
A rookie card for the kids
One per kid, with a stat line only a dad would find funny. He'll keep it at his desk.
The dad-joke card
Make him the subject: position 'Grill Master,' league 'Suburban Dad Association,' stats entirely made up.
The thing you did together
The fishing trip, the game you went to, the drive. A card of the day, not the object.
For the year-round version, see gifts for dad. For stat-line inspiration, try trading card stat ideas.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Father's Day trading card?+
A custom trading card made from your own photo — his kids, his dog, his car, or a trip you took — with a title, stats, and a message on the back. It arrives sealed in a display case with an optional serial or edition number.
Is a trading card a good Father's Day gift?+
It's good precisely because dads buy their own stuff. You can't out-shop a man who already ordered the thing he wanted; you can give him something that didn't exist until you made it.
What should I put on a Father's Day card?+
Whatever he's proudest of — his kids, the car in the garage, or the fish he still talks about. Then make the back funny. A slightly absurd stat line works better than a sincere one for most dads.
Can I make a card of his car?+
Yes — the Big Kid Toys style is built for cars, boats, motorcycles, and builds, with fields for the make, year, and a title. See the car trading card page for the full version.
Can I make one from each kid?+
Yes — a Card Pack holds 10 cards, so each kid gets their own card with their own photo and stats.
How much does a Father's Day trading card cost?+
The current promotional price is $20 for one Display Card and $35 for a 10-card Card Pack. Regular prices are $25 and $50. Designing is free, and you can personalize one in minutes.
