Frequently asked questions
What is a retirement trading card?+
A retirement trading card is a personalized career keepsake with a photo, name, role, years served, career-style stats, and a message on the back. It can be given by a coworker, team, family, or organization.
What should I put on a retirement card?+
Include the retiree's preferred name, role, years of service, one or two specific contributions, a recognizable inside detail, and a sincere message. Keep any employment or personal information private unless they want it shared.
Can the whole team contribute to the message?+
Yes. Collect one short line or memory from teammates, then edit the best details into a readable back message. You can also have coworkers sign around the card or on a separate note.
What photo works best for a retirement card?+
A clear portrait, a photo from the workplace, or an image tied to a signature career moment works well. Use a photo you have permission to print and that the retiree will enjoy seeing.
How much does a retirement 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.
