A little guidance.
A legend of their own.

Choose Sportbound for a sports-photo card or Storybound for a fantasy character card. Customize the design, prepare the final front and back, and review both sides. After approving the proof, add the approved card to your cart and continue to Shopify checkout.

Saving a preview or an unfinished draft does not place an order. Review your selected finish, add-ons, shipping and tax before payment.

Check spelling, names, numbers and back text. Look closely at faces, photo cropping, cutout edges and important details near the card edges. For Storybound, check the likeness, outfit, companion and illustration too. Review both sides and the selected foil treatment, if any.

Approval applies to the saved proof shown for review. If you change the artwork or personalized text, prepare and approve a revised proof before ordering that version.

Before ordering, return to the builder, make your changes, and prepare a revised proof. Approve both sides of the version you want to buy.

If you have already paid, contact us as soon as possible with your order number and the correction. We will check the order’s status; changes after production starts cannot be assumed. For cancellation, damage or refund questions, see our returns and refunds policy.

The builder shows the finishes available for your design. Standard, full-card holographic and design-specific metallic foil options are explained on our pricing page. An on-screen shimmer illustrates the finish.

A printed card includes a penny sleeve and toploader unless you select another case. Available upgrades include a magnetic case or display slab, with optional stands and extra protection bundles. Check your choices in the approved-card cart.

Choose a sharp, well-lit photo with a clear face. Use the original image when possible, rather than a screenshot or a heavily compressed copy. Avoid blur, strong face filters and objects covering the face.

For Sportbound, leave room around the player, hands and equipment you want on the card. For Storybound, choose a clear likeness photo and check the personalized illustration before approval. You must own the photo or have permission to use it.

JPG, PNG and WebP photos up to 20 MB work in the card entry flows. For a Storybound personalized illustration request, use a JPG or PNG no larger than 8 MB, even if a larger photo or WebP was accepted for the on-device preview. Some Sportbound builders also accept HEIC. If a file will not open, export a JPG or PNG copy.

Your photo must finish loading before you review the card. Keep checking the preview as you adjust the crop; an accepted file does not guarantee a good printed result.

Allow an estimated 10–14 days total for production and shipping after payment is complete and your final proof is approved.

If you need your card for a birthday, senior night or another fixed date, contact us before paying to check whether your date can be accommodated.

Our current printed-card checkout serves the contiguous United States and Washington, DC. Shipping is $5 once per physical order. Shopify shows the final shipping charge and any applicable tax before payment.

Cards checked out together share the order’s shipping charge. Separate checkouts create separate orders.

Sign in to My Legend and use Save progress in the builder to keep an editable draft in your account. Wait for the save confirmation before closing the page.

A browser preview stays in that browser and is separate from an account draft, approved proof or paid order. Clearing browser data can remove local previews. An unfinished save needs an approved final proof before it can be purchased.
