GETTING STARTED
What is Reclaim Customs?
Reclaim Customs creates one-of-a-kind custom trading cards and display pieces designed to showcase cut autographs, relics, and unique memorabilia. Every piece is handcrafted to raise your collection into something genuinely exceptional.
What Kinds of Pieces Do You Make?
We create a wide range of custom items, including Standard Cards, Jumbo pieces, and more. If you can dream it, we can create it for you! We also offer KIDS CARDS using pre-made templates for a more affordable option.
How Do I Begin A Custom Project?
It’s easy, just fill out our CUSTOM CARD ORDER FORM with the details of what you want to create and pay the required $150 non-refundable deposit. Your project will enter our Request Queue while we review the information and prepare your final quote. Once the remaining balance has been paid in full, your project will move into the appropriate Production Queue. Our minimum order amount is $450.
What Is the Difference Between the Request Queue and Production Queue?
The Request Queue includes submitted projects that are being reviewed, quoted, or awaiting full payment. Being in the Request Queue does not mean that design or production has begun.
Once a project has been reviewed, accepted, and paid in full, it moves into the appropriate Production Queue based on its selected priority level. Projects are completed in the order received within their respective priority levels.
Where Do I Place My Order?
All custom projects can be ordered through our CUSTOM CARD ORDER FORM on our website. Kids cards can be ordered directly through our KIDS CARDS page.
Does My Auto/Relic Need to be Authenticated?
Our original policy has always been: "Any autograph we work on must be authenticated by sticker, letter, or quick opinion from either PSA, Beckett Authentication, James Spence Authentication (JSA), or G.O.A.T Authentication (for Wayne Gretzky or Tom Brady)." This has served as the foundation of our commitment to legitimacy and collector confidence
-
No Use of Third-Party Stickers Without a Partnership
We are unable to embed, replicate, or incorporate third-party authentication stickers, labels, or holograms into any designs unless we have a formal partnership with that organization. Additionally, once an autograph is cracked from a slab or separated/cut from a sticker, it voids the authenticity anyway—highlighting the importance of full-context authentication.
-
Approved Authenticators Remain Unchanged
Our existing policy requiring authentication from PSA, JSA, Beckett, or G.O.A.T. remains in effect. However, if there is any question regarding the authenticity of an item, it may be subject to re-evaluation through another third-party authenticator that we approve of at our discretion.
-
Re-Authentication Support Available
If you'd like to have your piece authenticated after completion, we’re happy to help guide you through that process.
Relic Harvesting:
At Reclaim, we only recognize relic certification and authenticity from a select group of trusted card manufacturers whose stated authenticity we rely on from the backs of their products. Our approved sources for harvesting relics are as follows: Upper Deck, Topps, Panini, Fanatics, Leaf, and Sportscards.com. Any other source would need to be approved ahead of time on a case-by-case basis.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us maintain the integrity of the hobby.
PRICING & MINIMUMS
There are quite a few variables involved, but below you'll see a good baseline. These prices are before any foiling and represent a simple relic, such as a cut auto or thin jersey swatch that would equal a 130pt card thickness:
Kids Cards:
Kids' cards are created from a set of previously defined templates. This allows us to offer them at a lower cost than a custom card. These can be ordered from our KIDS CARDS page.
Custom Cards & Custom Pieces:
Our custom pieces are one-of-a-kind creations designed to showcase and elevate your cut autograph or relic. We offer a variety of stock sizes listed below, but if you need something outside our standard dimensions, we can craft a fully custom piece to fit your vision.
Because each project is unique, pricing is provided through a custom quote. CONTACT US TODAY to discuss your custom piece.
Standard Card: Starts at $175 (2.5" x 3.5")
Our Standard Cards start at $175 and include one cut, perfect for a cut autograph or relic. This base price does not include foiling, a magnetic card holder, or shipping. Cards thicker than 180PT incur an additional charge.
Standard Jumbo: Starts at $225 (5.25" x 3.5")
Our Standard Jumbos start at $225 and include 1 cut. This base price does not include foiling, a magnetic card holder, or shipping. Cards thicker than 180PT will require a custom case. Additional cuts can be added for $25 each.
Standard Booklet: Starts at $350 (7.25" x 2.5")
Our Standard Booklets start at $350 and include 1 cut, perfect for pairing an autograph with a relic. This base price does not include foiling, a magnetic card holder, or shipping. Cards thicker than 180PT will require a custom case. Additional cuts can be added for $25 each.
Solid Booklet: Starts at $300 (7.25" x 2.5")
Our Solid Booklets start at $300 and includes 1 cut. This base price does not include foiling, a magnetic card holder, or shipping. Cards thicker than 180PT will need a custom case. Additional cuts can be added for $25 each.
Mega Jumbo: Starts at $325 (8" x 3.5")
Our Mega Jumbos start at $325 and include up to 2 cuts. Additional cuts (front or back) run $25 each. This base price does not include foiling, a magnetic card holder, or shipping. Cards thicker than 180PT will require a custom case. Additional cuts can be added for $25 each.
Ultra Jumbo: Starts at $425 (7.25" x 10.75")
Our Mega Jumbos start at $425 and include up to 2 cuts. Additional cuts (front or back) run $25 each. This base price does not include foiling, a magnetic card holder, or shipping. Cards thicker than 180PT will require a custom case. Additional cuts can be added for $25 each.
Sweet-spot Style Baseball Card: Starts at $250
Sweet-Spot style cards feature a panel of an actual baseball embedded in the trading card or custom piece. These cards take time and great care, so there's a higher price point. Additional cuts can be added for $25 each.
Do You Offer Bulk/Wholesale Card Pricing?
Yes, we offer bulk and wholesale pricing when the design is the same for all cards. This includes base cards, foiled cards, and relic cards. Bulk orders get a much lower price per card compared to single custom orders.
Since many projects have unique details, different players, or custom variations, bulk pricing can vary depending on your needs. If your order has several designs or fully unique cards, please CONTACT US. We will give you a detailed quote based on your project scope.
WHAT OTHER FACTORS AFFECT PRICING?
Variations in Relics
We can embed almost anything into a custom piece, but some relics take more time and care to cut, prepare, and embed. For example, adding a piece of a shoe or cleat is more complex than using a jersey or shirt because of the thickness, materials, and shapes. These extra steps help keep your relic safe and looking great, but they may also affect how long it takes and the price.
Card Thickness Variables
If the item you want to embed makes the finished piece thicker than 180PT, a premium fee may be added. This covers the extra materials, work, and special casing needed to keep thicker pieces secure.
Premium Fees
If your autograph or relic is valued more than $250, a premium fee may be added to your project. Complex or high-value designs that require significantly more work may also incur additional fees. These charges cover the extra care and skill needed to protect and display valuable items.
Eliminating Reclaim Logos/Marketing
All of our custom pieces usually include Reclaim branding, like our name and website on the back. We also share finished projects on our social media and sometimes on our website. This helps us reach new customers and keep our prices lower.
If you want to remove Reclaim branding from your piece or don’t want your project shared publicly, there will be an extra charge. This covers the lost marketing value and the extra production steps needed.
Design Time
Standard Service includes the design time needed for Reclaim Customs to create the project without customer proofs, approval, or revisions.
Customers who want to review proofs, provide creative direction, or request changes must select Premium Service. Premium Service is billed at $75 per hour, with a minimum charge of one hour. This means the minimum Premium Service charge is $75, even if the requested changes take less than one hour. Additional design time is billed at $75 per hour.
Customers must provide all names, wording, photographs, measurements, project instructions, and design requests at the time the remaining balance is paid in full. Full payment confirms that all required information has been submitted and allows the project to enter the Production Queue. Information or changes submitted after design work begins may result in additional charges.
What is the $450 order minimum?
Due to the highly detailed, hands-on nature of our production process, Reclaim Customs now maintains a $450 order minimum for custom projects.
Each piece moves through a multi-step workflow that includes consultation, custom design, print setup, specialty finishes, precision cutting, hand assembly, quality control, photography, and secure packaging. This minimum allows us to protect production capacity, maintain elite craftsmanship, and provide clearer, more reliable turnaround times.
Can I Bundle Multiple Cards to Meet the Minimum?
Yes, you can. If your project is below $450, you can reach the minimum by:
-
Adding foiling options
-
Adding additional cards using the same design
-
Bundling multiple pieces into one order
Reclaim Customs offers discounts for extra cards when you reuse the same design. Since options like foil colors and quantities can vary, we provide pricing for extra cards through a custom quote.
Can I Get Duplicate Cards at a Discount?
Sometimes it makes sense to produce multiple cards from the same design. For example, if you have multiple relics from the same person or player, or if you have multiple cut autographs from the same person that are relatively the same size, it might make sense to utilize the same design, and print multiple copies at a discounted rate.
We can also vary foil colors on additional cards while maintaining 1/1 labeling. Due to customizable options for additional cards, a custom quote will need to be given. CONTACT US if you’re interested in adding extra cards to your order.
MATERIALS & ADD-ONS
What About Sticker Autograph Harvesting?
Sticker harvesting is $50 per sticker. Please note that original cards cannot be returned, as our process permanently alters and destroys them. If you would like photos of your original sticker autograph cards, we recommend taking them before sending the cards to us.
While our harvesting success rate is approximately 97%, removal can occasionally result in a sticker that is not usable. Some products are easier to work with than others, so if you are sourcing cards for harvesting, feel free to reach out for guidance. We are happy to help you choose the best options to maximize success.
What is Slab Cracking?
Slab cracking refers to the process of opening a graded or authenticated slab, such as one from PSA, in order to remove the autograph or relic inside for use in your custom project. This service is $20 per slab.
Do You Return Original Cards or Relics?
If we harvest a sticker from your card, we cannot return the original card because the process destroys it. We suggest taking photos of your card before you send it to us
If your relic is larger than the portion used in the card, any remaining material will not be returned unless arrangements are made prior to project completion. Unless otherwise agreed in advance, excess relic material will not be returned. We may be able to hold leftover relic material for future projects if discussed beforehand. Storage fees may apply at our discretion, depending on relic size and other factors.
Can You Print Refractors?
Yes! We produce most industry-standard refractor styles, including Holographic, Kaboom, No Huddle, Gold Vinyl, Superfractor, and more. We can also embed relics and autographs directly into these styles for an elevated finish. Refractor treatments are available as an upgrade and are not included in base pricing. Please add the style and color you are looking for when filling out the CUSTOM CARD ORDER FORM.
What Foil Options are Available?
Foiling is an optional upgrade and is not included in the base price. Because each project is unique, foil pricing is determined based on your specific design and quantity needs. You may choose different foil colors for additional cards if desired.
If you have a specific foil vision in mind, please include those details when completing the
STANDARD FOILING OPTIONS
The pricing below applies to foiling on the front of the card only. Back foiling is available upon request and is priced at double the listed rate due to the additional production process.

Why Does Foiling Cost What it Does?
Foiling is a meticulous, labor-intensive process performed with specialized equipment, and every card requires its own unique setup. The pricing reflects the skill, time, and precision needed to create a true one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
DESIGN & CUSTOMIZATION
Do I Have Creative Control?
Every custom piece is built through a collaborative process, but the amount of creative control you have is completely up to you. When placing your order, you can choose between two service options depending on how hands, on you’d like to be with the creative direction and overall design.
STANDARD SERVICE
When you fill out the CUSTOM CARD ORDER FORM, you can let Reclaim Customs take full creative control of your project. At the time of full payment, please provide all project details, wording, photos, measurements, and instructions. From there, we’ll handle the design using our own style, with minimal customer input.
PREMIUM SERVICE
If you want to stay involved in the design and have specific ideas or template requests, you can choose this option on the order form. This service offers more detailed design work and closer collaboration. Premium Service is billed at $75 per hour, with a minimum charge of one hour. Additional design time is billed at $75 per hour.
Reclaim Customs retains final say over every design to ensure the finished piece meets our quality, design, and production standards.
Can I Choose the Photo Used?
Possibly! The photo needs to be high-resolution, and sometimes licensing issues need to be resolved. You can always make suggestions, but Reclaim Cards will need to have the final say.
Can I provide photos?
High-resolution photos can be sent to: aaron@reclaimcards.com after you've placed your order. Please see our TERMS OF SERVICE before sending your items and ordering.
How Thick Can You Make a Custom Piece?
We can build out our interior cardstock as thick as we need. Just keep in mind there may be an added cost for more intensive projects.
Where Do I Send My Relics/Autos?
Once an order is placed or agreed upon, we will provide you with a mailing address. Please read our TERMS OF SERVICE to understand more about liability and shipping your items.
You can place an order by filling out our CUSTOM CARD ORDER FORM. Relics and materials can be sent directly to our shop.
Address will be provided after an order is placed.
How Long Does A Custom Order Take?
Reclaim Customs does not provide guaranteed turnaround estimates or completion dates. Every project is different, and timing may be affected by project complexity, current production volume, customer revisions, material availability, and the number of priority projects currently in production.
Projects are completed in the order received within their respective priority levels. Standard, Standard Expedited, and Express Rush projects each move through their applicable Production Queue.
Please do your best not to email us to ask where your project is at in our order queue. We will contact you when your project is preparing to enter active production. To help us keep projects moving, please limit routine requests for your position in the queue.
How Do I Expedite My Project?
Customers may purchase one of our production-priority upgrades:
Standard Expedited Service – $200: Places the project ahead of Standard Service projects in the Production Queue.
Express Rush Service – $400: Provides a higher level of production priority than Standard Expedited Service.
Expedited services affect queue priority only. They do not guarantee a turnaround time or completion date. Projects are completed in the order received within their respective priority levels.
In rare situations, a custom “Drop Everything” priority service may be available. Pricing and availability depend on the project and our current production workload. This service provides our highest available production priority but does not guarantee a completion date. If you are interested, please CONTACT US as soon as possible to discuss availability.
What Production Materials Do You Use?
We are transparent about most aspects of our process, though certain elements remain part of our proprietary approach. We use high quality materials and take great pride in the craftsmanship behind every project.
Do You Handle Other Projects Besides Cards & Jersey Frames?
Yes! Just share your ideas with us and we can discuss them together.
TURNAROUND & SHIPPING
How Does Shipping Work?
Standard orders are shipped via USPS in a box or padded envelope and include $100 of insurance. You will receive a tracking number once your project has shipped.
Each piece is carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery. While lost packages are extremely rare, once an order has shipped, it is in the carrier’s hands.
If you would like to purchase additional shipping insurance beyond the included $100, please let us know and we will provide a quote.
Do You Offer Express Shipping?
We offer several express and special shipping options, like overnight, two-day, USPS Priority, signature-required delivery, and UPS or FedEx. Extra costs usually apply and are set on a case-by-case basis. If you want special shipping, please contact us early in your project so we can plan and arrange payment.
Do You Offer Insured Shipping?
We can ship any project with insurance. You can suggest the insured value for your piece, and we'll agree on it together, using our experience to help set the right amount.
If a package is lost or damaged, we will assist by providing all available shipping information, but it is the customer’s responsibility to contact the shipping carrier to initiate and manage any insurance claim. Please note that Reclaim Customs cannot guarantee the carrier will pay out the insured amount, and we do not reimburse customers for pieces lost or damaged during transit.
Do You Ship Internationally?
Yes. Customers are responsible for all shipping costs and any duties. If you want to know your shipping rates, please ask before you order.
AUTHENTICATION & AFTERCARE
Can I get a Custom Card Authenticated/Slabbed?
Beckett is no longer slabbing custom cards or pieces of any size or style.
If you don’t see your question answered, contact us HERE!
PACKING PEANUTS POLICY "PPP"
We love a good surprise—just not the kind that explodes into a blizzard of styrofoam chaos. That’s why we’re rolling out our Packing Peanuts Policy (PPP). Any package shipped to us containing packing peanuts will incur a $50 cleanup fee. Why? Because those little guys get everywhere—under desks, in equipment, even in our coffee mugs (true story). Help us keep the Cardistry Cave clean and peanut-free by choosing smarter, eco-friendlier packing materials. Trust us—your cards (and our sanity) will thank you!
