IMG Academy National Championship Baseball Cards
Custom trading cards created to celebrate the 2025 IMG Academy National Championship baseball team.
Project Overview
IMG Academy wanted a special way to celebrate their 2025 National Championship baseball team. The goal was to create something the players could keep as a lasting reminder of the season while also adding a collectible element the team could enjoy together.
I designed a full team trading card set featuring the roster along with special autograph cards for the players to exchange with each other.
Each player also received a commemorative slabbed card created specifically for the championship team. These slabbed cards were designed as a keepsake piece the players could display long after the season.
The project combined several elements of collectible trading card culture including team packs, autograph exchanges, and individual commemorative cards to create something unique for the team.

Packaging Experience
In addition to the main team set, I created special autograph cards for the players.
Each player received autograph cards that they could sign and exchange with their teammates. This created a fun moment for the players to trade cards with each other while building a signed set from the championship team.
The autograph cards added a personal layer to the project and turned the experience into something interactive for the players.
Each player also received a commemorative slabbed card celebrating the championship season.
The cards were sealed in a custom slab style case to create a premium display piece. These were designed to be keepsakes that players could hold onto long after their time with the team.
Championship Team Keepsakes
Trading cards are a unique way for teams to celebrate major moments like championships.
Instead of a traditional plaque or team photo, the players receive something collectible that represents the season. The cards can be traded, signed, displayed, and shared with family and friends.
Projects like this are often used for
championship teams
college athletics programs
youth and travel teams
tournament winners
special season celebrations
Trading cards turn a season into something players can hold onto for years.
