Questions
Here is everything parents ask before they order.
From what arrives and when, to what happens to the photo.
A rookie card with your child on the front and their details on the back: name, number, team, position, height, weight, birthday and season. For $39 you get the digital file the same evening, front and back, ready to print or share. For $59 we also print it on real trading-card stock, 2.5 by 3.5 inches, and mail it to you. If you take the file first, you can add the printed card afterwards for the difference.
About three minutes. You pick the sport, type their details, upload one photo, and the card draws itself as you go. What you see on the preview screen is exactly what prints, so that is the moment to check the spelling.
The same evening you order. It comes as two images, the front and the back, plus a print-ready file if you want to print it yourself.
The printed card is made to order and mailed to the address you give at checkout. The digital file comes the same evening you order, so you have the card to share while the printed one is on its way.
One clear photo where you can see their face, taken in decent light. A game-day photo is lovely and a photo in the backyard works just as well. You can crop it on the preview screen, so the card frames them the way you like.
The digital file is easy: email us a better one and we make the card again and send it, free. The printed card depends on how far along it is. Tell us as soon as you can and we will swap the photo before it goes to print if we still can, and either way we will tell you which it was.
No. Nothing we do repaints a face or changes a body. The photo is placed, scaled and cropped onto the card, and that is all.
No. The card carries your kid's name, number, team name and photo, and none of a league's or a pro team's marks. That is what keeps it yours to print.
Extra copies of the same card are cheaper: the second is $19 and every one after that is $15. You are offered them right after you pay, when the card already exists, so you are not guessing at a quantity before you have seen it.
Yes, and nobody has to collect money. You get a link, every family orders their own child's card from it, and each card ships to whoever ordered it. There is no minimum and nothing to organize beyond sending the link.
A free page at officialrookie.com with their card on it, so a grandparent can see it without you emailing a file. It is off unless you switch it on, it is not listed or searchable, and you can take it down whenever you like. It stays free for life.
30-day money back on the digital card. Free reprint if your printed card arrives damaged or with a mistake that was ours: send us a photo and we print it again and mail it at no charge.
It is stored privately and used to make their card. It never goes in a gallery, an ad or anywhere public, and we delete it 90 days after your order unless you have switched on a player page that needs it. Read the privacy policy for the whole of it.
No. You pay once and the card is yours. The player page is free for life.
