Does anyone have a source for low qty baseball cards?
« on: January 28, 2016, 10:43:11 AM »
We have a retail line that we use Custom printed baseball cards as part of the packing. Our standard source has just been failing left and right. I need to find a new source, and was wondering if anyone had any secret printers out there?

PM me what you are looking for.  My shop is shared and my family owns the other half.  They are a offset print company, that prints a lot of things.

How low is your quantity?

no lower than 100. we repeat on like 4 or 5 cards often, and other just get used one time.

Not sure i understand what you are talking about but you might want to talk to the signs365 guys, they have recently added business cards and may be a short hop to what you are looking for.

Those guys are on super speed cycle. I can't believe how they can print a project and send
that same day or next anywhere in the US for only $10 shipping!

Business cards to personalized custom baseball cards may actually be more than a small hop.

We looked into doing this as we wanted to make trading cards or our dogs. (they currently have coroplast campaign signs from signs365)
4over.com look into the small run (digital) and maybe gang/cut yourself.

Oddly enough I just talked to 365 yesterday when they told me about tis new offering. The minimum, for example on business cards is one sheet worth and each image could be different. But again not sure I know what you are expecting when you say baseball cards.
The most I know wbout this is the Mantle, Ford,  Spahn. Williams, Mays baseball cards I had as a kid by the crap loads. My family was in the grocery business and the Topps BB cards were a nice perk after the mouth watering slab of gum. If I had those cards today ...well i crtainly would not be here staining shirts ;)
