Three steps, about five minutes.

1
Choose a design and upload a photo
Twenty original frames. Drag in a photograph, then crop, zoom and rotate until the subject sits right.
2
Add the name, numbers and story
Name, title, number, year and up to six statistics on the front. A short write-up in your own words on the back.
3
Check both faces, then order
The preview updates live and shows the real front and back. Nothing prints until you approve it.

Four identical custom trading cards side by side showing standard gloss, cracked ice holographic, rainbow prism holographic and liquid metal foil finishes.

The finish is the whole difference.

A flat print of a photograph is a photograph. A card that throws light when you tilt it is something people pick up and turn over.

Real customers. Real cards.

Every review here comes from a verified order, is published unedited, and can include the customer's own photo or video. We do not write, buy or borrow testimonials.

The first cards have not shipped yet, so this space is honestly empty.

After delivery, every customer is invited to review their card and add a photo or video of the moment it was opened. Those go here, unedited, good or bad.

What we will not do.

The things a company refuses to do tell you more than the things it promises.

We will not print a photo that will look bad: The designer checks resolution as you upload. If something looks wrong at production, we contact you rather than printing it anyway.
We will not print somebody else’s intellectual property: No team badges, league marks, celebrity likenesses or copyrighted characters without documented permission. Foilcrest is independent and unaffiliated with any league or card manufacturer.
We will not pretend a topper is a grade: The certification-style topper is a presentation piece we print to match your card. It is not issued by a grading company.
We will not keep your photographs longer than we need them: Uploads are stored privately, never publicly browsable, and removed on the schedule in the privacy policy.

Questions people ask first

What kind of photo do I need?

A reasonably sharp photograph with the subject clearly visible. The designer checks the file as you upload it and tells you whether the resolution is excellent, good or merely acceptable. Recent phone photos are usually fine.

Can I see the card before I pay?

Yes. The preview renders the real front and back and updates as you type, and the review step shows both faces before the card can be added to the basket.

How much does a card cost?

Cards start at $42. Holographic finishes add $10, liquid metal foil adds $14. Two or more cards get 12% off, five or more 22%, ten or more 30%.

Can I put a team logo on the card?

Only with the club's written permission. We cannot print league marks, professional team badges, celebrity likenesses or copyrighted characters without documented authorisation.

Can I cancel or return a personalised card?

Once production starts a personalised card cannot be cancelled. If it arrives with a manufacturing defect or print error we remake or refund it within 30 days of delivery.

How long does an order take?

Production time depends on the finish and the queue, and shipping depends on where you are. We quote an accurate date at checkout rather than advertising a promise here.
