The product

Cards, packs & boxes

⚾ What are Scribbly baseball cards?

Real, printed trading cards of your own player — custom illustrated from one photo, with their name, team and jersey number on the front and their stats and story on the back. They arrive sealed in a foil wrapper printed with their name.

🎨 Are they illustrated or photo-based?

Illustrated — that's the difference. Your photo becomes original card artwork of your player, not a photo cropped into a card-shaped frame.

✍️ What can be personalized?

Front: name, team and jersey number, set into the artwork. Back: four optional write-ins — player spotlight, favorite moment, strengths, fun fact.

🔢 How many cards are included?

Ten per pack. Standard: 10 gloss cards. Holographic: 9 gloss + 1 holographic foil chase card. Multi-pack options: 3 packs (30 cards) or 5 packs (50 cards).

🃏 Are the cards in a pack all the same design?

Each pack is printed with your player's approved card design — ten copies to keep, trade, sleeve and give to grandparents. (Ordering for multiple kids? Each gets their own design — one builder run each.)

🖼️ What's on the front?

A full-bleed illustrated portrait of your player with their name on the plate, and their team and number worked into the design.

🧾 What's on the back?

The stats side: name, team and number, plus your optional write-ins — spotlight, favorite moment, strengths, fun fact. Skip any of them and the back still looks finished.

✨ Is a holographic card included?

In holographic packs, yes — one foil chase card per holo pack, using your player's same approved artwork. Standard packs are all-gloss. Full story: holographic baseball cards.

🇺🇸 Are the cards made in America?

Yes — printed in the USA by our production partner in Wisconsin.

📏 What size are the cards, and what are they made of?

2.5″ × 3.5″ — standard trading-card size — on premium trading-card stock with a UV gloss coat. They fit standard sleeves, binders and top-loaders.

🎁 Is a foil pack included?

Always. Every pack ships sealed in a real foil wrapper, custom-printed with your player's name.

🗃️ Is a collector's box included?

The collector's display box is a $19.99 add-on (custom-printed with your player's name, holds up to 18 cards) — and it's included in the $139 Keepsake Bundle with 3 holographic packs.

➕ Can I order additional copies later?

You can order more packs any time — same builder, same photo or a new one.

Creating

Photos, previews & tweaks

📸 What photo should I upload?

One recent photo where the face is clearly visible and well lit — front or three-quarter view, no heavy filters. A uniform is great but optional. Full tips on how it works.

🖌️ Can the artwork's details be adjusted?

Yes — after the preview, describe changes in plain English ("bigger smile", "more dirt on the uniform") and we re-illustrate. If a detail isn't right, ask; the tweak system handles it.

🔤 Can the team name and number be included?

Yes — both are part of the standard personalization, on the front plate and the back.

💬 Can hobbies, fun facts or a favorite memory be added?

Yes — the card back takes a player spotlight, favorite moment, strengths and a fun fact. All optional.

👀 Do I get a preview?

Yes, free, about 20 seconds after upload — before any payment step.

✏️ Can I request corrections?

3 free re-illustrations per photo; a new photo resets the count. Every draft is saved, so you can print any version.

🖨️ What happens after I approve?

Your approved art goes to print exactly as previewed — printed, foil-sealed, boxed if you added the box, and shipped.

Ordering

Teams, timing & shipping

🧢 Can I order for an entire team?

Yes — every player gets their own design, and a shared team code gives 20% off at 10+ packs. The full playbook (plus a coordinator's worksheet) is on team cards.

💛 Can grandparents place an order?

Absolutely — anyone with a photo can build the card. It's a favorite grandparent move for birthdays and season's end.

👧👦 Can I order for siblings?

Yes — one quick builder run per kid, so each gets their own artwork and their own pack.

⏱️ How long do production and shipping take?

Cards are made to order. Most orders arrive in about 3–5 weeks all-in; the builder shows a live estimate before you pay. International takes a little longer. Estimates, not guarantees.

⚡ Is rush production available?

Yes — add rush in the builder and the make time drops to days. Shipping speed is chosen separately at checkout.

🌎 Where do you ship?

Worldwide, with a few exceptions (including Brazil, Belarus, parts of the Middle East, and some APO/FPO/DPO addresses). Shipping is calculated at checkout; US orders over $100 ship free.

📦 What if my order arrives damaged?

Reach out through the contact page with a photo of what arrived and we'll make it right.

🛑 Can I cancel before printing?

Nothing prints until you approve the artwork, and there's no payment before checkout — so before you order, there's nothing to cancel. Once an order is placed it moves to print; if something's wrong, contact us immediately.

↩️ Can I return a personalized order?

Orders are final once placed — you approve the exact artwork before it prints, which is also why returns aren't needed. And if you hit the tweak limit without loving the art, we refund you before it prints.
