Can I make only some of the cards in a box holographic?

Quick answer

Yes, in a Rookie Box or MEGA box. Every card has its own holographic toggle, so one card can carry the Cracked Ice finish while the rest stay standard: $2.99 per card in a Rookie Box, capped at $14.99 per box, or $14.99 per MEGA Card. A Bulk Box is all or nothing, since the run is one print.

Key takeaways

  • ✓Rookie Box and MEGA box: holographic is chosen card by card.
  • ✓Rookie Box: $2.99 each, never more than $14.99 for the box.
  • ✓MEGA box: $14.99 per holographic MEGA Card.
  • ✓Bulk Box: one setting for the whole run, $14.99, $22.99, or $29.99.

Per-card toggles

In a Rookie Box each finished card shows a Cracked Ice toggle. Switch it on for the cards you want and leave the others off; the box total shows the upgrade as its own line. The same is true in a MEGA box, at the MEGA rate.

Why a Bulk Box is different

A Bulk Box is a single design printed as a run of 25, 50, or 100. The finish is applied to the run, so it is either on for every copy or off for every copy: $14.99 for 25, $22.99 for 50, $29.99 for 100. If you want a few holographic copies and the rest standard, put the holographic copies in a Rookie Box.

The cap makes full boxes cheap

Because the Rookie Box charge stops at $14.99, upgrading five cards ($14.95) costs about the same as upgrading all eighteen ($14.99). If you are going to make more than five holographic, you may as well make the whole box.

More questions

Can one card in my box be holographic and the rest normal?

Yes, in a Rookie Box or MEGA box. Toggle just that card. In a Rookie Box it adds $2.99.

Can I mix finishes in a Bulk Box?

No. The run prints one way. Use a Rookie Box for a few holographic copies alongside standard ones.

What does it cost to make every card in a Rookie Box holographic?

$14.99, whatever the card count, because the per-card charge is capped at the whole-box rate.

Can I change my mind after saving the card?

Yes, until you check out. The toggle lives on the card in the box and can be switched either way before ordering.
