Ordering
How much does it cost?
$89 with your design printed on the front, back and spine. Spine text (a name or a few words down the spine) is +$5. You can add card sleeves or toploaders on your proof, right before checkout. Shipping in the US is free.
Do I see the design before I pay?
Yes. You see your cover in the design tool before you order, and you can make new designs or edits along the way. We print the design you approve.
Is the back printed too?
Yes. Every binder is printed on the front, back and spine, all designed to match, for $89.
Can I put text on the spine?
Yes, for +$5. Type a name or a few words (up to 24 characters) and it prints down the spine in the same lettering style as your title, so you can spot it on a shelf. It can't be added on a gift link yet.
Can I send it as a gift if I don't have their photo?
Yes. Pay now and we give you a private link to send them. They add their own photo and approve their proof, and their binder is made once the photo is in. It arrives about 2 to 3 weeks after that, so for Christmas, pay by December 1 and send the link right away. Spine text can't be added on a gift link yet.
Can I change my design after I order?
Yes, until it goes to print. Email us as soon as you can and we will update it for you. Once it is printed, we can't change it, so please check names and spelling before you pay.
Your design
What kind of photo works best?
Any clear phone photo works. Faces facing the camera and decent light look best. Avoid photos that are blurry, dark or very small.
What if I don't like how it turns out?
You see your full design before you pay, and nothing prints until you approve it. You can make new designs or edits along the way.
What happens to my photo?
We only use it to make your binder. It is deleted after 90 days. Details are in our privacy policy.
The binder
Is it a real card binder?
Yes. It is a zip trading card binder with 9-pocket pages, like the ones collectors use. The only difference is the cover: it shows your own photo and design.
How big is it and what is it made of?
It holds 360 standard 2.5 x 3.5 in trading cards on 20 fixed pages, 9 pockets per side, in side-loading, acid-free, PVC-free pockets on black pages. Cards fit bare or in regular sleeves. The PU leather cover is water-resistant and digitally printed, with stitched edges and a metal zipper with a plastic pull. Closed, it measures 13.8 x 10.2 x 2 in (35 x 26 x 5 cm) and weighs about 1.8 lb (820 g).
What cards does it fit?
It fits standard 2.5 x 3.5 in trading cards, 9 to a side, bare or in regular sleeves. It holds 360 cards in all.
Does it fit graded cards or toploaders?
No. Graded slabs and toploaders are too thick for the pockets. It is made for the cards they play with, trade and show off, in regular sleeves or none.
Shipping and returns
How long does it take?
About 2 to 3 weeks from order to door. Every binder is made to order: a real person checks your photo and words, then your cover is printed just for you and your binder is built, one at a time. Shipping in the US is free, and for Christmas, order by December 1. More on the shipping page.
What if it arrives damaged or wrong?
We will reprint it for free or refund you. Email us within 14 days of delivery with your order number and a photo of the problem. You do not need to send it back. See returns and reprints.
Can I return it?
Because every binder is made just for you, we can't take change of mind returns. If it arrives damaged or misprinted, or gets lost on the way, we reprint it or refund you.
