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. Once submitted, your request is added to our production queue, and we’ll contact you when it’s time to begin. Our order minimum is $450 due to the time and attention each project gets.
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.
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.
Standard Booklet: Starts at $300 (7.25" x 2.5")
Our Standard Booklets start at $300 and include two cuts, 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.
Solid Booklet: Starts at $300 (7.25" x 2.5")
Our Solid Booklets start at $300 and include up to 2 cuts. This base price does not include foiling, a magnetic card holder, or shipping. Cards thicker than 180PT will need a custom case.
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.
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.
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.
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
Each standard project comes with a set amount of design time, and we usually build your card using a template we already have. Using existing templates helps us keep prices lower than making a new design from scratch every time. If your project requires more design work than the included time, extra hours are billed at $75 per hour, plus your card’s fee.
Several factors can increase design time and, therefore, cost. These include multiple rounds of revisions, adding new information or photos after the project has started, extremely complex designs, or creating a brand-new template to match the look of another card. To help keep costs down, we recommend providing as much information and direction as possible at the beginning of your project.
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. Just share your project details, and we’ll handle everything from there using our own style. With this option, you have minimal input on the design.
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. It costs an extra $75 and gives you more chances to communicate during the process.
If there are many revisions or significant back-and-forth during the design process, extra design fees may apply.
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?
We handle custom orders in the order we receive them. After you fill out our CUSTOM CARD ORDER FORM, your request goes straight into our tracking system.
We strive to complete every project as efficiently as possible. However, due to high demand and the custom nature of our work, we cannot guarantee a fixed turnaround time. Each project presents unique challenges and receives our full attention to detail.
If you need your order completed by a specific date, please select the Expedited Order option and include your required due date. Expedited fees may vary depending on the timeline requested.
We make orders in the order we get them. We ask for your patience—demand is high because we aim to be the best!
Please do your best not to email us to ask where your project is at in our order queue. We get these emails often, and it really slows down our card-making process. We will contact you when we are getting ready to start your custom project. The exception to this is kids cards that are ordered from our kids cards page. To keep these costs down, we do not send mockups for approval.
We can not guarantee any timeline for a custom project, unless it is agreed upon in your expedited service!
How Do I Expedite My Project?
You may upgrade your project to one of our expedited production options. Standard Expedited projects carry a $200 fee and a 2–3 week turnaround, while Express Rush projects carry a $400 fee and a 1-week turnaround, depending on the scope of the project and current production volume.
Please note that expedited services prioritize your order within our production schedule but do not guarantee a specific completion date unless formally agreed upon in writing.
If you would like to expedite your project, please select the appropriate option when completing the CUSTOM CARD ORDER FORM.
REMINDER:
All projects are completed in the order they are received. While we are actively refining our operations to meet and exceed the turnaround timelines we communicate, there may be a short adjustment period as we transition into this new production framework.
In rare situations where immediate completion is required, we may offer a “Drop Everything” service. Pricing and turnaround for this option vary based on the scope of the project and current workload. 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?
We can submit eligible Reclaim Customs pieces to Beckett Authentication Services for encapsulation and authentication. This service is available for cut autograph Reclaim Customs cards only, and they will be slabbed using our official Reclaim Customs pedigree label.
Custom cards cannot be graded. We also do not submit any cards to Beckett Authentication Services other than official Reclaim Customs pieces.
If you are interested in having an eligible card authenticated and slabbed, please see our PEDIGREE page.
We don’t aim to make a profit from Pedigree labels. We offer this service to improve your custom card experience, and the price covers our costs.
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!
