Help with Trading Cards

[Suburbanmom]

Earlier this week, I photographed a junior high boys' basketball team...no action, just team and individual shots. I've done this before, but decided to include Trading Cards on my order form for the first time. I'm using the template offered on www.mpix.com.

My problem is that there is room on the back side to include text...6 lines of 17 characters each. What information should I include there? I know...I should have given this some thought before I offered the product (live and learn).

It's the beginning of the season, so I don't have any stats to fall back on. Thanks for any way you can help bail me out!!!

Maybe something like...

(name)
(grade)
(position)
(height)
(years playing)
(favorite pro team)

 

[nokidz]

you could also add favorite pro player. Or for a fun side go with name, height, position, pro draft pic#, pro team, salary(ficticious of course)

Do you have the players names?

if so, this year I would include name, team name, school, and year.... And age of player if you know it.

In the future,

Name
Team Name
School
Age or School year
Position played
Jersey Number

Those are the standards

Thanks, guys. I do have the players names, grade, etc. I can easily get many of the other suggestions since I volunteer in the school office once a week and can call the boys in to ask them . Great ideas. Thanks so much.

I used the Mpix trading cards for my own kids this fall with their soccer photos. I used:

Fall 2007
Team Name
Jersey Number
Age
Height
Position

My kids are young, so grade would be more appropriate for older kids, but I was very happy with the way they came out.

edited to add - with the mpix cards, the name is on the front and the 6 lines of "stats" are on the back of the card.
