What is a MEGA Card?

The Snapshot TeamCustom trading card specialistsLast reviewed:

Quick answer

A MEGA Card is a custom trading card scaled up to 11" x 15.4" in the real 2.5:3.5 card proportions, printed on rigid card stock rather than poster paper. One is $49.99, two are $44.99 each, and three or more are $39.99 each. Each ships in a fitted protective sleeve, and the holographic finish adds $14.99 per card.

Key takeaways

  1. 11" x 15.4", the same 2.5:3.5 proportions as a standard card.
  2. Printed on rigid card stock, so it is a card, not a paper poster.
  3. $49.99 for one, $44.99 each for two, $39.99 each for three or more.
  4. Ships in a fitted protective sleeve; holographic finish is $14.99 per MEGA Card.

Size and material

A MEGA Card measures 11 by 15.4 inches, roughly the footprint of a sheet of paper but in trading card proportions. The design is the same one you build in the card builder; it is rendered at the larger size rather than stretched.

It prints on thick, rigid card stock. That is the difference from a poster: it holds its shape, has a card's snap, and stands on a shelf or leans on a desk without curling.

Price

MEGA Cards are priced by how many are in the box. One is $49.99. Two are $44.99 each ($89.98). Three or more are $39.99 each. A MEGA box holds up to 18, and each can be a different design.

The holographic finish is $14.99 per MEGA Card, applied per card with no box cap. A single MEGA Card clears the $30 free-shipping threshold on its own for US standard shipping.

How it ships

Each MEGA Card ships in a fitted protective sleeve sized for it, inside a rigid mailer. There is no magnetic case because the case is a standard-card accessory; the sleeve is the MEGA Card's protection for transit and display.

What people use it for

The MEGA Card is a wall or shelf piece: a bedroom or dorm wall, a senior night gift, a fantasy league trophy, a coach's office. It pairs naturally with a standard card of the same design in the Rookie Box, one to keep in hand and one to display.
