Baseball Card Slabs Made From Your Own Photos, Not the Hobby Shop

Cards print and ship within 2-3 days of you approving the final design, and that timeline holds steady whether you're ordering one card or a full team pack. There's no grading queue or authentication backlog slowing things down, since we're not sending anything to a third-party certification company. Once your order ships, standard shipping times apply on top of that 2-3 day production window, so most customers see their cards within about a week total. If you're ordering for a specific deadline — like an end-of-season banquet or a birthday — we'd recommend placing the order at least ten days ahead just to build in a buffer. Rush situations do happen, and reaching out directly is the best way to confirm timing for a tight deadline. Free shipping applies across the USA regardless of order size, so there's no cost incentive to rush an order before you're happy with the design.

They're built from actual sports card templates, not just a photo dropped onto a card-shaped background. That means stat boxes, name plates, team logos or colors, and border designs modeled after real rookie and veteran card sets you'd recognize from packs or hobby shops. You pick the template, fill in the player details — name, number, position, stats if you want them — and the layout does the rest. The end result reads like a legitimate trading card, not a photo print with a border slapped on. Because it's printed on professional card stock rather than standard photo paper, the texture and weight feel closer to a real card too. Combined with the magnetic case, most people who see one assume it came from an actual set until you tell them otherwise. That's the whole point of the template system — making a personal photo look like it belongs in a real pack.

A single card runs $17.99 and works well for one player, one moment, or a simple gift. Packs run up to $49.99 depending on the number of cards included, and they're popular for teams ordering multiple players at once or someone who wants several designs from the same photo shoot. The MEGA card is a completely different format — an 11×15 poster-sized card for $49.99, designed to be a display centerpiece rather than something that fits in a wallet or a card box. Coaches ordering for an entire roster usually go with packs since the per-card cost drops compared to ordering singles individually. Someone wanting a big statement piece for a bedroom wall or a coach's office typically picks the MEGA size instead. All three ship free anywhere in the USA, so the choice really comes down to how you plan to display or gift the final product.

Yes, and team orders are one of the most common use cases we see, especially at the end of a season. Coaches or team parents typically collect photos for each player, then order individual cards or packs so every kid goes home with something personalized instead of a generic trophy. You can mix templates across players if you want some variation, or keep everyone on the same design for a uniform team set. Pricing scales reasonably well for group orders since packs bring the per-card cost down compared to buying singles one at a time. Turnaround stays the same 2-3 day production window regardless of order size, though larger team orders benefit from placing the request a little earlier to leave room for design approval on each card. We've fulfilled orders for tee-ball rosters all the way up to adult league teams, so the process scales in both directions without much friction.

The magnetic case is built to function the same way a collector's protective holder does — it snaps shut securely, keeps the card flat, and shields it from bending, moisture, and surface scratches during normal handling and storage. It's not a grading slab in the certification sense, but it serves the same practical protective purpose most people actually want out of a slab. Stored on a shelf, desk, or display stand, the case keeps dust and fingerprints off the card surface indefinitely. If you're planning to display it somewhere with direct sunlight for years on end, like any printed product, some fading over a very long timeline is possible, so a shaded spot extends its life further. For normal indoor display or storage in a drawer, box, or on a shelf, the case does exactly what a slab is supposed to do: keep the card protected and presentable long after the season it's commemorating is over.

Plenty of adults order for themselves, not just for kids. Beer league and rec league players commemorate championship runs, memorable games, or just a good season with friends the same way a parent might for a Little Leaguer. We also see plenty of gift orders from adult children ordering a card for a parent who coached them years ago, or friends putting together a joke or tribute card for a teammate's birthday. The template options work across every level of the sport, from tee-ball graphics to more serious-looking veteran-style layouts that suit adult league players better. Nothing about the ordering process assumes a specific age group, so whether the subject is seven or forty-seven, the card comes out looking like a legitimate piece tailored to that player's level and style of play.
