Why a sample is easy
There is no minimum order, so a one-card Rookie Box at $17.99 is the sample. It comes in a branded card box with a one-touch magnetic display case, which is also what a coach can pass around at a parents' meeting. Because it is under $30, US standard shipping is $5.00 on its own.
Make the sample count
Build the sample the way the set will be built: the same template, the team logo uploaded if the template has a slot, the team colors set on a palette template, and a real player photo rather than a stand-in. Then the sample answers the questions parents ask: how the stock feels, how the photo prints, how the colors come out.
If the team wants the holographic finish, toggle it on the sample; it is $2.99 on a single Rookie Box card.
Use the preview first
The preview in the builder is the exact render that prints, so template choice, cropping, text, and colors can all be settled before any card is ordered. The physical sample is for the things a screen cannot show: weight, gloss, and the holographic layer in real light.
Then the real order
For one card per player, fill a Rookie Box (up to 18 different cards, $49.99 at 18). For copies of one design, a Bulk Box of 25, 50, or 100. For a team where each family buys their own pack, set up a team page and share the link; packs are $33.99 per player.
