TCG Partnerz · Custom team cards

Real trading cards for your team, with chase cards to hunt.

We design a full set for your high school baseball, soccer, football or basketball team: a base card for every player, prism chase cards, numbered signature cards and a gold one-of-one. Race teams, businesses and events too.

Our promise

We make the cards for you, with proofs. We combine it all.

Most card companies hand you a template and a printer. We do the whole job: we design every card, show you a free digital proof before anything prints, and bring the rest together in one place.

  • We design itYour photos, names, colors and stats, laid out by us. You approve a proof, then we print.
  • We combine it allBase cards, chase cards, signature cards, gold 1/1s, packs and custom-label slabs in one order.
  • Shipped with careWe are card people first. Every card in your set, chase cards and 1/1s included, is handled and packed the way a collector packs their own pulls.

TCG Partnerz · Card Restoration

Cards brought back to life, documented every step.

Careful cleaning, dent and edge work, and a full chain-of-custody record. Every card gets its own private case page you can watch, area by area.

A real case, start to finish

See what you get!

Silver Sable is my own card, a test I ran before two client cards went to CGC. That makes it the one record I can show you in full, mistakes included.

Silver Sable

1991 Impel Marvel Universe Series II, #21

  • Our grade: 8 before, 8 after
  • 37 min bench video
  • 27 photos
  • 24 zones mapped

A dry wipe, water and a roller on the edges, a polish, then 24 hours in the press. It came out looking practically new, but one small spot did not come out and the rolled edge still shows in the light. The record says so.

Our 10-point grade is a working assessment, not a PSA, CGC or BGS grade. Cleaning or pressing makes a card ineligible for grading.

What every restoration includes

  • Careful bench work. Surface cleaning, edge and dent work, and pressing, area by area.
  • A chain of custody. Photographed on intake, logged under a unique case ID, tracked to the finish.
  • Your own case page. A private record with photos and before-and-after notes, zone by zone.
  • Video of the work. The bench session, narrated, so you can watch what was done.
  • Our 10-point grade. Before and after, scored out loud. Our working numbers, never a slab grade.
  • An honest call. If a card should not be worked on, or a flaw cannot be fixed, I will tell you.

Provenance

Proof travels with every card.

Every card is photographed on intake, worked under a documented chain of custody, and given a private case page. Scan the label and trace it, intake to finish.

Who does the work

Every card is handled by one person.

No queue, no subcontractors, no card leaving my bench. I photograph every card before I touch it, log what I do to it, and send you the before and after.

If a card should not be worked on, I will tell you that instead of taking the job.
