Sports Medallions? Try Custom Cards Fans Actually Keep

Any sport, any level. Snapshot doesn't restrict card creation to major professional sports. You can create cards for baseball, football, basketball, soccer, hockey, volleyball, wrestling, track and field, lacrosse, swimming, golf, martial arts, softball, bowling, pickleball, and anything else where a great photo exists. Youth leagues, high school teams, college athletes, adult recreational leagues, semi-pro players — all of it works. If you have a photo and a story worth telling, Snapshot's templates are built to make that card look professional and personal at the same time.

The best results come from clear, well-lit photos taken in portrait orientation. High-resolution images from a DSLR or a recent smartphone camera work beautifully. That said, many fans get great results from game-day photos taken on phones — especially in good lighting conditions. Avoid heavily compressed, blurry, or very dark images if you can. When you upload, you'll be able to preview how the photo sits inside your chosen template before completing your order, so you can make sure it looks right before anything goes to print.

Both options are available. You can order a single card featuring one athlete, or build out a pack with multiple different cards — great for a full team set or a collection of favorite players. Packs are priced up to $49.99 depending on how many cards you include. Team packs make an incredible end-of-season gift for an entire roster, and they give every player their own card to keep. Coaches, parents, and league organizers frequently use this format as an alternative to traditional trophy packages or generic sports medallions.

The MEGA card is Snapshot's largest format — printed at 11 inches by 15 inches, it's a poster-sized version of the trading card design. It's printed on premium card stock and ships flat, fully protected. At $49.99, it's designed for display: framed on a wall, hung in a locker room, or presented as a standout gift for a retiring player or season MVP. The card design scales beautifully to this size, maintaining the professional look that makes it look like something a major sports brand would produce. It's a serious piece of memorabilia.

Yes. Snapshot ships free to every state in the continental USA. Production happens at our facility in Des Moines, Iowa, and orders go out within 2-3 business days. If you're in Alaska or Hawaii, reach out to confirm shipping options and timelines for your location. The USA-based production also means faster domestic shipping times and quality control that stays in-house. Fans from youth sports communities in rural states to major metro areas all order regularly — Snapshot's reach covers the full country.

Absolutely. Snapshot cards are printed on professional card stock built to withstand the same handling as official licensed trading cards. They won't curl, fade, or fall apart after a week on a shelf. The magnetic case that ships with every order adds an extra layer of protection during transit and display. For fans who want to slip their card into a binder sleeve or penny sleeve for a collection, the standard card size is compatible with common trading card storage options. These are made to last — not novelty printouts.

Yes — custom text is a core part of the Snapshot card builder. You can add the athlete's name, position, jersey number, team name, season year, personal stats, or any other text that makes the card feel complete and official. The templates are designed with text fields that mirror where you'd find that information on a real trading card. That level of detail is exactly what separates a Snapshot card from a simple photo print — it looks like a card that belongs in a real collection, because it's built like one.
