Any recommendation on sites that prints pictures in sports cards form?

[Kobefan]

Anybody know a good legitimate site that prints pictures in holographic or prism sports cards form? I want to print some pictures of my friends and families and merge it with my hobby of collecting cards. There seems to be some in Etsy, but I'm not sure if I can trust the sellers.

Can you post an example? I can probably offer up some recommendations once I know exactly what you are looking for.

I researched this pretty extensively over the summer because I was asked to work on a project with a local little league. I ended up using Topps to print the cards but looked into a guy, Tanner, that does amazing work. It was cost prohibitive for me since I had to produce cards of dozens of players but for a one off it could work. He is in the range of $100 a piece.

Here is some of his work:

Thanks, but that's kind of too much for me, since I'm planning to send in at least 10 photos.

Yea it adds up. Topps was the cheapest and best quality I found (20 copies for $10 but it isn't chromium/prizm. What's the issue with the Etsy ones you posted? The seller has 15 five star ratings for that product and 68 five star rating overall.

There was a post in the Mosaic thread last year.. a guy had figured out the specific stuff that the card companies use. They come in big sheets, I can’t remember if it was available on Amazon or another site.

I haven’t spent much time with it but I had it on the back burner to figure out later on. I have a project that I’ll need it for.

That would just be the raw card stock though, would still require a graphic designer and a printer, sounds like you want something that’s more of a finished product.

If I wasn’t going to be more hands on with it I’d just go with Topps

Nothing wrong with the seller, it's just that I never bought anything from that site and it has a bit of a reputation issue. I just want to be sure I'm not sending in photos and maybe payment info to potentially questionable individual. I might end up trying the Etsy one with two pictures first, just to check it out, since the other options stated here are either too expensive or simply prints normal base cards.

Etsy is 100% legit.

The thing is, many different people sell on there so, for certain things/markets, there’s a lot of bloat to sift thru sometimes.

I can vouch for Etsy though, as a legitimate selling platform. Feedback is everything on there so as long as they have solid feedback, you’re good.

Thanks, will look into it.
