Trading Card printing - 05-24-2006, 10:14 AM


Does anyone have any suggestions for custom (front and back) trading card printing? I need about 100 for each player - 30 players for a pro arena football team here in Katy. Don't need to be packaged. Need referrals ASAP!

Replied in the business talk thread, too.. but try these guys:

http://proshooterdirect.com/

I ordered from them once (I don't get much call for them, actually) and they looked great!

I think mpix.com does them now, too.

I used http://www.sportscardonline.com once. I used their "blank card" option as I designed everything. The cards came out OK, laminated, and they have a decent options for the back of the card.
However, they were not the same quality as prints I made at costco out of the same DPI jpeg. It wasn't drastically worse, so I did not complain.

If it's not too late, you can get authentic Upper Deck cards through UpperDeck.com I haven't used them yet, I've done all mine custom with sportscardonline.com, but I've heard good things. Nothing like an authentic UD card (albeit older designs)
