Custom trading cards made from your photos and inside jokes
Be part of the first 25 releases
Pack of Us turns your group into a real trading-card release: ten personalized cards, sealed in a pack with surprises inside, ready to open. Before we open to everyone, we’re building 25 founding releases with the people in them.
$25 per pack plus shipping
- 10 cards per pack
- Redemptions & holographics
- No order minimum
Start with as little as one and add more whenever the crew grows.
One pack or thirty, it’s all one release. You can keep adding until production starts.
What a founding order includes

Across the release
- Ten cards per sealed pack
- Start with one pack, then add matching packs if the crew wants in
- One holographic card in every pack
- One numbered 1/1 in every release
Cards are mixed across the shared group set, then collated so every ten-card pack contains a holographic card. Nobody knows which people, moments, or special cards they will pull until the packs open.
- One pack is enough. Buy yours without waiting for anybody else. Friends can contribute material or add a matching pack right up until production begins.
- Shape what comes next. We’re thinking about autograph editions, patch & relic cards, and annual crew releases. None of them built yet. Founding crews are who we’ll ask first about which are worth making.
- A numbered founding release. Your order is part of Crew Series 001. There will only ever be 25 releases in the founding series.
Redemptions
Some pulls are promises
Most cards print a memory you already have. A redemption is the one card that makes a new one: a real promise, printed, pullable, with the name of whoever fulfills it on the front.
From your crew
Put something real in your release
Korean barbecue on Dave. First round at the reunion. The fishing trip someone’s been owed since 2019. Tell us privately when we plan your release and we turn it into a card somebody gets to pull. Every redemption names exactly who fulfills it, and prints its own terms: what it is, and how long it’s good for. We print the card, your people make it real.
Reserve a founding pack
Standard ten-card packs are $25 each plus shipping. Start with one or tell us how many you have in mind. Reserving is free, and we confirm timing and the shipping total before you pay.
“I started Pack of Us because I didn’t want to forget the inside jokes. Creating these cards turned out to be a fun way to make new ones at the same time. I answer every email personally.”
Brian, founder, Pack of UsFounding pricing
One clear price. No group minimum
Each standard ten-card pack is $25. Shipping is charged separately based on destination, and packs going to the same address can ship together. Premium finishes and large-event formats remain optional add-ons.
So is the hosted break. For $79 and up, Brian rips your release live on a private stream, your crew keeps the recording, and everyone who opts in gets their own pull cut into a vertical clip. Founding crews book it when we plan the release.
How reserving works
Reserve your pack. Invite the crew if you want
- Tell us the basics. Start with one pack or tell us how many you already want. Reserving is free.
- Build the set. Upload the photos and lore yourself, or invite friends to contribute and add matching packs before the production cutoff.
- Approve and pay. We confirm the pack count, shipping total, and expected delivery date before production begins. Nobody else has to order for yours to be made.
A free reservation is not a purchase. We will confirm availability and send the exact shipping total before payment.
Questions
Before you rip
What does it cost, and when does it ship?
A personalized ten-card pack is $25 plus shipping, with no order minimum. We confirm the shipping total and expected delivery date before you pay. Friends can add matching packs, and larger or premium formats may cost more.
Can we add more packs after we start?
Yes. Your release stays open until production begins. You can add packs yourself, or send your crew a link so they can add their own. Packs added later join the same shared set and are collated with the rest, and packs going to separate addresses are shipped and charged separately.
Do my friends have to buy or upload anything?
No. Your purchase stands on its own. You can provide material you have the right to use, and friends may contribute photos or order matching packs if they want to. Their participation makes the set richer, but it is never a condition of your order.
What do you actually need from us?
Photos and a little lore. You can upload everything yourself or invite people to contribute. Tag who's in the pictures and add nicknames, running jokes, or the moments everyone still brings up. No long questionnaires.
Can the cards stay a surprise?
Yes. That's the point. Before anything prints, we confirm every face and name and flag anything sensitive. That check doesn't reveal the finished designs, the captions, or which card came back holographic, so everyone rips blind, including you.
What's the hosted break, and what does it cost?
Starting at $79 on top of the packs. Brian, our founder, opens your release live on a private stream: pack order, introductions, the horn when somebody hits. Larger releases may cost more, and the exact amount is confirmed before payment. Your crew keeps the recording, and everyone who opts in gets their own pull cut into a vertical clip. Nothing goes public unless every person in it says yes.
What happens to our photos?
They're used to make your cards, and that's it. Projects are private by default, we never train AI models on your photos unless you separately and explicitly allow it, and nothing goes public unless every person involved opts in. Want everything deleted after your packs ship? Ask, and a real person will do it and confirm.
