Choose the gift format and quantity
Start with the person receiving it and where they will display it. These are photographed Snapshot products; you choose your own photo and an available design. All prices are in USD, before shipping and any tax. The chosen quantity applies to the first design you make; you can adjust copies and add other designs in a Rookie Box before ordering.
A milestone with a reflective finish
One holographic card
$20.98 USD
One 2.5 x 3.5 inch printed card with holographic finish and a magnetic display case. The price includes the card and finish.
Player, family and coach copies
Five copies in a Rookie Box
$31.99 USD
Starts with five standard copies of your first design, with one magnetic display case included per box. For different player designs, reduce the first design’s copies and add the other designs separately. Review the final card count and price; add extra cases if each gift needs one.
Senior night or a coach tribute
One MEGA display card
$49.99 USD
One oversized 11 x 15.4 inch card on card stock with a protective sleeve. Plan the display around this size; a frame or stand is not included.
One shared design for a team handout
Bulk Boxes contain copies of one design. Use them for a shared team tribute or event keepsake. If every player needs a different personalized card, count the unique designs separately and choose a Rookie Box or discuss the roster with our team.
Standard and holographic are the online finish choices. Gold or silver foil work requires a custom quote. Free US standard shipping on orders $30+ — $5.00 flat under that. International and expedited rates depend on the destination and service shown at checkout.
Choose the sports gift by recipient, then format
A gift for one athlete, a coach tribute and a team handout solve different tasks. Use the recipient to narrow the choice before choosing the presentation.
1. One athlete: one recognizable moment
Start with a clear photo and the current season. Choose a card-sized keepsake for a small display or compare a larger format when the recipient wants a wall or ceremony display. Review what the selected product includes.
2. Coach or senior: a short tribute
Use an approved dedication and accurate names. For a ceremony, coordinate the gift with the run-of-show and final recipient list rather than guessing the ordering window.
3. Team or club: a quantity plan
Count unique players and copies per player separately. Add coaches and family extras explicitly. Ask about the full team-order workflow before promising everyone a personalized item.
A dedication you can adapt
“For the effort nobody saw and the moments we will always remember. Thank you for being part of this team.”
An example message, not a customer quotation.
Before you approve the design
Choose only the relevant stats and text fields for the selected design. Compare final product format, quantity and checkout total before ordering.
Plan delivery around the event
Confirm your presentation date, finish the design review, then check the carrier estimate for the actual delivery address before paying. Allow time to receive and organize the gifts before the event; an estimated arrival is not an event-date guarantee.
Production
Cards go into production the same day you order and ship on the next business day.
Expedited
When available, Priority and Overnight orders placed before the same-day cut-off on a business day ship that same day. The available services and exact cut-off time are shown at checkout.
In transit
Delivery time on top of that depends on the carrier and the destination, and you see the carrier estimate before you pay.
Shipping cost
Free US standard shipping on orders $30+ — $5.00 flat under that. A Rookie Box of 5 cards is $31.99, which clears the bar on its own.

"I created a few AI cards for my kids. I started collecting back on February and the boys love the Kaboom cards. My daughter loves princesses so I made her a Disney card through AI. I looked for a company to actually make the card and found Snapshots. Very easy to use, very fast, excellent price. They actually called me to verify some of the information on the picture and offered to make any changes. I received them very quickly. I rarely leave reviews, but I felt this company deserved to hear that they are doing it right and I will definitely be using them again very soon."

"We had my son’s senior pictures taken at Target field so I wanted to put those images on a baseball card to give out at his graduation party! I had so much fun creating them on the website! I ordered them on a Wednesday night and they were at my door that Saturday! Very quick! I couldn’t wait to open them! They are awesome! Better than I could have ever imagined! The quality is well worth the money! Amazing job! Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique way to capture a forever memory!"

"I ordered cards on a Monday so they would be shipped and arrive by Friday. The next day through a series of unexpected events and missed communications on my part, I discovered my order was delayed. I reached out to see if there was anyway my order could still be processed and shipped out on time. Graham (CTO) reached out to me personally via email and phone to fix the issue and ensure my order was processed and shipped out on time. I received them on that Friday as I was originally hoping. Upon opening they were better than expected. The card stock is sturdy and the printing was high quality! I would definitely recommend this company and will be making more cards to order."
