Custom sports trading cards
Turn your knockout, championship, milestone, or team story into athlete-owned trading cards built to sell. Lab 111 Sports helps you create the cards, get signed editions authenticated, launch sales, and broker future resale or auction opportunities on your behalf.
For athletes, teams, and sports organizations. Revenue depends on actual sales, buyer demand, costs, and your program agreement.
The business behind the card
First, give supporters something they can buy while the moment has attention. Then build a plan for the cards and opportunities you keep for later.
Earn now
Athlete-approved cards give fans a tangible way to support you. Sell base cards and signed, authenticated editions through your launch, events, and store while the story is fresh.
Your share of completed sales creates revenue from the moment. Design, production, authentication, selling costs, and the agreed revenue split determine what you take home.
Earn later
Retain agreed inventory for later releases, anniversaries, new milestones, or collector interest. Lab 111 Sports can broker sales, resale, and auction opportunities for cards you own or consign.
You receive the proceeds due to you when those cards sell, after agreed fees and costs. Future sales and higher prices are opportunities, not guarantees.
Athlete-owned / Uly Diaz
Ulysses “Monster” Diaz knocked out Donelei Benedetto in three seconds at BKFC 14 in November 2020, a finish BKFC described as the fastest knockout in combat sports history at the time. Read BKFC’s account of the moment.
A moment like that should be more than a clip people watch and scroll past. Our system can turn a milestone into the first edition of an athlete’s own card program: a collectible built around their story, approved by them, with cards they can sell now and inventory they can retain for later.
That is the opportunity for an athlete or an organization: create a product connected to your own moment, get signed editions authenticated, and put a sales plan behind it. You keep the focus on your sport while Lab 111 Sports handles the agreed card launch and brokerage work.
Find the Revenue in My Moment
The Lab 111 Sports trading card system
Not just a design and a box of cards. A plan for what you sell, what you keep, how it reaches buyers, and how you get paid.
The story and the rights
Choose the achievement, record, season, or organization story. Confirm the permissions for the name, photography, marks, and content used before creating the card.
The collectible
Build athlete-approved card artwork and edition details. Coordinate signatures and authentication for signed editions so buyers know what they are purchasing.
The first sales
Set the offer, inventory, and selling plan. Bring the cards to your supporters through launches, events, and the store, with your revenue share agreed before selling starts.
The longer game
Keep agreed inventory for future opportunities. Lab 111 Sports can represent you in finding buyers and coordinating resale or auction submissions, subject to your approval and platform acceptance.
Illustrative card designs for athlete-owned editions, senior night, and team sets. Your cards use approved photography and artwork created around your story.
Beyond printing
The supporter gets a physical connection to an athlete, a team, or a moment they care about. You get a product you can sell, not just another post asking people to follow your story.
Lab 111 creates custom sports trading cards with the earning plan in mind: who will buy, which editions you will offer, what selling costs, and which cards you retain. The goal is revenue at launch and a clear path to explore future sales.
Build your card revenue plan around your athlete, team, event, or fundraiser.
Use cases
A custom card works best when it gives people a clear reason to care now. That could be:
We use the Identify / Own / Extend approach to make the card part of the full experience. Identify the moment worth celebrating. Own it with a card and the surrounding creative. Extend it with a collectible that can live in the hands of supporters after the event.
Youth sports
Youth sports is full of moments families and communities want to celebrate. Custom team cards can create recognition for every player while giving a league or sponsor program a clear story to rally behind.
Participating athletes receive 50 custom cards, each designed to sell at $10 or more, giving every athlete’s card set the potential to generate meaningful support for the team.
If your league has a different season structure, sponsor model, or fundraising goal, start with a conversation. We can help map the card program to the moment you are trying to extend.
Senior night
Senior night deserves more than a hurried announcement and a photo taken on the field. A custom trading card gives each senior a tangible way to mark the season, recognize the work behind it, and give family, teammates, and supporters something lasting to take home.
Lab 111 can help frame senior-night trading cards as part of a coordinated recognition moment, with design direction and supporting creative that feel connected to the school or team identity. Start early enough to give the milestone the attention it deserves.
Your card broker
Getting cards signed and authenticated is part of the system, not the end of it. Under your brokerage agreement, Lab 111 Sports can help market cards you own or consign, coordinate buyer and auction opportunities, and manage the agreed sales process on your behalf.
You approve the terms. We handle the agreed work. When a sale closes, you receive your share after the stated costs and fees. The aim is less selling work on your plate and more ways to earn from a moment you already created.
You receive your agreed share of completed card sales from your launch, events, or store. We define the offer, costs, inventory, and revenue split in your program agreement.
Cards you retain can be offered in later releases or placed into brokered sales or auctions. If they sell, you receive the proceeds due under your agreement. Buyer demand, timing, condition, and selling costs affect the outcome; an auction listing does not guarantee a sale.
Not automatically. You earn from sales of cards you own or consign, and from any separately agreed revenue rights that apply. A collector’s independent resale does not itself create a payment to you.
Your program agreement defines the card inventory you own, approved uses of your identity, content permissions, and revenue rights. Creating a card does not transfer ownership of the event, footage, or third-party intellectual property.
Next move
Bring us the knockout, championship, season, or story. Leave the first conversation with a clearer plan for what you can sell now, what you could keep for later, and how Lab 111 Sports can help bring it to market.

Sales, profits, resale prices, and auction acceptance are not guaranteed. Authentication confirms the stated authenticity; it does not guarantee market value.
