Card Stock

Trading cards. For any sports team you're on. Intramural soccer team...softball team...drunken kickball squad. You name it. You can have ridiculous stats (use your imagination) and even little trivia type things.

Ok, so that's the idea.

Here's the how.

Take some action shots of everyone for the front of the card, and some headshots for the back. Get a designer type to do the layout. Buy a pack or two of cards to get some ideas. Anyone could do the layout in illustrator probably. Maybe Publisher, but I doubt it.

The next step is to take it to a print shop and let them do it. You could probably print it yourself, but you don't want it to be janky. The print shop will make sure it has a nice glossy shine and all that.

The final step is to trade 'em! And give them to friends, etc. If you got really creative, you could probably figure out a way to package them.

But you're never going to sell them. Unless you get famous. Which is entirely possible you shining star, you.
