Make your own baseball card
Make your own baseball card for the kid who studies the back of them

The short answer
Custom baseball cards turn a player's photo into a real, display-ready trading card with their name, team, position, season, and an optional serial or edition number. Cardbop lets you design one free, preview the front, back, and case live, then order a Display Card for $20 or a 10-card team Pack for $35. Built for rec, travel, and select ball.
How do you make a custom baseball card?
Upload a photo you own, pick the Baseball layout, and fill in the name, team, position, and season. You preview the front, the back, and the display case live before paying anything. Designing is free — a Display Card is $20 and a 10-card team Pack is $35.
What size is a baseball card?
Every Cardbop card is the standard trading-card size, 2.5 by 3.5 inches — the same as the baseball cards you already collect, so it fits standard sleeves, toploaders, and binder pages. A Display Card comes sealed in its own display case.

|---|---|---|
| Display Card | One player, senior recognition, coach gift, or a shelf-ready keepsake | One custom card sealed in a clear display case with a personalized label |

Frequently asked questions
What should I put on a baseball card?+
Name, team, league or division, position, jersey number, and season on the front — then a short stat line or a coach's note on the back. A serial or edition number is optional.
Can I make baseball cards for the whole team?+
Yes — build a Card Pack with a card for each player, share one link, and every family orders their own copies. It's the standard end-of-season team gift.
What photo works best for a baseball card?+
A clear shot in uniform — batting stance, wind-up, or a portrait at the fence. A phone photo is fine, and you reposition and zoom it in the live preview.
Do you make cards for travel and select teams?+
Yes — rec, community, travel, and select ball all work the same way. You set the team, division, and season yourself.
How much does a custom baseball card cost?+
A Display Card is $20 and a 10-card Card Pack is $35. Designing is free, and you can personalize one in minutes.
