What is the Rookie Box?

The Snapshot TeamCustom trading card specialistsLast reviewed:

Quick answer

The Rookie Box is the standard Snapshot product: one to eighteen custom trading cards, each printed at the standard 2.5" x 3.5" size, packed in a branded card box with a one-touch magnetic display case. It costs $17.99 for one card and $49.99 for eighteen, with the per-card price falling as you add more. Each card can differ.

Key takeaways

  1. 1 to 18 custom cards at standard 2.5" x 3.5" size.
  2. $17.99 for one card up to $49.99 for eighteen (about $2.78 each).
  3. One magnetic display case and a branded card box are included.
  4. Any card in the box can be toggled holographic for $2.99, capped at $14.99 per box.

What comes in it

A Rookie Box holds between one and eighteen cards. Every card is a full custom card: your photo, the template you chose, the player details on the front, and stats or a note on the back where the template has one. The cards print on trading card stock at the standard 2.5" x 3.5" size, so they fit ordinary sleeves and top loaders.

The box ships in a branded Snapshot card box with one one-touch magnetic display case, the kind collectors use, for the card you most want on a shelf.

How the price works

The box is priced by card count rather than per card. One card is $17.99; two are $21.99; five are $31.99; ten are $43.49; eighteen are $49.99. The per-card price therefore falls from $17.99 to about $2.78 as the box fills, which rewards ordering a season's worth of cards, or a set for siblings, together.

The holographic finish can be switched on per card at $2.99 each, capped at $14.99 for the box. Extra magnetic cases are $1.99 each.

What it is for

The Rookie Box is the product for cards that differ: one card of each kid, a card per season, an action shot and a portrait of the same player, or a small set for a friend group. If you want many copies of one card, the Bulk Box is the right product.

Shipping

US standard shipping is free on orders $30+ and $5.00 flat below that. A Rookie Box of one to four cards ($17.99 to $28.99) sits under the line on its own; five or more cards ($31.99 and up) clear it.
