Frequently asked questions
What are good end of season team gifts?+
A personalized trading card for every player: their photo, name, number, and a stat line from the season, with game-day photos and a coach's note behind each card's QR code. A 10-card Pack is $49.99; build it once and share one link so each family orders their own.
What's a good end-of-season gift for a youth sports team?+
A custom trading card of each player — it's personal, it's a keepsake, and families keep it out. Build one Card Pack for the team, share a link, and each family orders their own copies.
How much do end-of-season cards cost?+
$29.99 for one Display Card and $49.99 for a 10-card Card Pack. Designing is free, and you can personalize one in minutes.
Can the coach order for the whole team?+
Yes — build a Pack with a card for each player, then share one link so every family orders their own. No collecting money or handling shipping yourself.
What is a good sports banquet gift?+
A team Card Pack gives every player a card from the season, and a Display Card in a display case works as an award for MVP, most improved, or the graduating seniors. Designing is free.
Is this a good coach gift too?+
Yes — make a card of the coach and put every player's note and photo behind its QR code. It beats another mug or gift card.
What goes behind the QR code on each card?+
Every Cardbop card is a Living Card: the QR code printed on the back opens a page that belongs to that card. You can add the story behind it, more photos from that day, links (a highlight video, a playlist, a shared album), and a note the person who gets it finds when they scan it. Only people with the card or its link can open the page, and the owner can make it private. The printed code never changes, so the page can be updated any time.
What photo works best?+
A clear action or portrait shot in uniform. A phone photo is fine — you reposition and zoom it in the live preview.
Send them off with a card they'll keep.
