Designing the Durham Dirtbags Team Set and Foil Packs
Durham Dirtbags Trading Card Set Framed
When the Durham Dirtbags reached out about creating a custom team set, I immediately knew this would be a fun and meaningful project. These aren’t just cards. For teams like the Dirtbags, trading cards become keepsakes that celebrate community, camaraderie, and the joy of playing the game.
Why Team Sets Matter
Team trading cards are more than just printed pieces of cardstock. They showcase each person who makes the team what it is, including players, coaches, and even mascot roles. For groups that play for fun, friends, or shared passion, a set like this becomes a conversation piece, not just memorabilia.

Designing the Durham Dirtbags Set
For the Dirtbags, I designed the full team set from start to finish. That meant thinking through layout, personalization, materials, and presentation — all with the personality of the team in mind.
Custom cards for every player
Inclusion of coaches, mascot, and umpire cards
Unique design elements that reflect the Dirtbags spirit
Once the cards were designed, I explored packaging options that would elevate the experience beyond individual cards. That’s where foil packs came in — they create a moment of excitement and nostalgia, just like opening packs as a kid, but this time the set belongs to you.
Why Foil Packs
Foil packs make a set feel like an event. They give the set a collectible feel, not just a stack of cards. Packaging matters just as much as the cards themselves when you want something that people treasure.

What This Set Means for Teams
Projects like this are a reminder that trading cards don’t have to be limited to professional sports. Whether it’s a Sandlot squad, a youth league team, or a backyard crew with inside jokes and shared memories, these cards honor the people who matter.
