The short answer

Custom basketball cards turn a player's photo into a real trading card showing their name, team, position, jersey number, and an optional serial or edition number. Design it free with Cardbop, preview the front, back, and display case live, then order a Display Card for $20 or a 10-card team Pack for $35. Works for rec, club, and school hoops.

How do you make a custom basketball card?

Upload a photo you own, pick the Basketball 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 basketball card?

Every Cardbop card is the standard trading-card size, 2.5 by 3.5 inches — the same as the basketball cards you already collect, so it fits standard sleeves, toploaders, and binder pages. A Display Card comes sealed in its own display case.

Frequently asked questions

What should I put on a basketball card?+

Name, team, league or grade level, position, jersey number, and season on the front, with a stat line or coach's note on the back. A serial or edition number is optional.

Can I make cards for the whole basketball team?+

Yes — build a Card Pack with a card per player, share one link, and each family orders their own copies. Popular for end-of-season and banquet nights.

What photo works best for a basketball card?+

An in-gym action shot or a clear portrait in uniform. Gyms are dim, so pick the sharpest photo you have; you can zoom and reposition it in the live preview.

How much does a custom basketball card cost?+
