Trading Cards Question

Where do you order trading cards from? I want to make my own design , front and back...I don't want to use a generic card.
The only place I see with like a multi purpose card is artscow and I don't really want to use them. I don't even know exactly what kind of paper that would be anyhow.
Any suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance.

I dont have photoshop, so I'm doing my TC's thru mpix right now.
I'm hoping to find a better place to do them during my downtime, but
for now, parents are pleased with them. They are on a heavy cardstock.

Artistic Action has photoshop templates for all sports and you can customize to your hearts content.

ExposureManager now offers cards from TOPPS, the baseball card company. They come packaged in a TOPPS wrapper and with a stick of gum.

Here's their description:
Topps Amateur Sports Cards are printed on real card stock, on the same printing presses that produce many of Topps' limited edition rookie cards. The cards are then UV-coated and wrapped in foil. Template designs are adapted from original art produced for Topps' professional sports cards. Each Topps Amateur Sports Cards pack contains 12 amateur cards, one Topps professional sports card, one "Topps of the Class" redemption coupon and a piece of Bazooka® bubble gum.

ExposureManager's easy-to-use order entry / customizer tool gives consumers control of the image selection, the Topps Amateur Sports Cards template choice and the player's personal and performance biography.

A set of 12 (1 dozen) has a wholesale cost of $11.95.

Thanks for all the help, I'm looking into proshooterdirect.

EM price makes it hard to make anything off of a set at those prices

I believe the EM price of 11.95 is for 12 cards so a $8 or $9 markup would seem appropriate?

Yeah, but it is a premium product. They still offer the standard trading cards as well.

On the Topps website, they want $13 for 10 cards, $16 for 15. I dont know if they wrap them but all have to be the same pic. I'm not sure if you can select different shots thru EM. I really think that parents would pay about $24 for these. Thats only $2.00 per card I only wish that I shot the age group that these are targeted for.

Needs to be all the same photo from EM. I'm going to be ordering some pretty soon. I'm going to do some for my last T&I. I'll take a hit on them, but I'm really interested to see how they turn out.

I agree, I always buy a sample product before offering it.

FYI... I am going to order through proshooterdirect... I think their prices are great...$7.95 for 12 or $8.95 for 12. You can make your own design or use their templates. They have had awesome customer service so far. Here is the link if anyone sees this thread that is interested

Thanks again to everyone for your replies.

I just got my Topps cards from EM. They're great. Everyone loves them, and the kids feel like big shots having their own "pro" cards.

Thanks for the update

I use MVP Cards
They do premium trading cards for $4.12 for 12 cards. I charge $20 Canadian and make a decent profit. The large competition locally charge $24 for 8 cards so I could arguably charge $25 but then I'd feel I was being greedy.
