I Used AI to Turn My Face Into a $12 Million Sports Card ⚾- Here's How You Can Too
This started as a fun AI experiment. Now I'm building a tool for creators, stores, and brands to go viral.
Ever wonder what you’d look like as a legendary sports card?
Yeah… me neither. (Look below, the real images are even better!)
But that’s one of the coolest things about AI.
AI lets you think of an idea and bring it to life within minutes.
I’m going to show you exactly what I did and how I did it
These 2 cards are 2 of the most famous baseball cards of all time. They are each worth millions of dollars.
I thought it would be fun to put my own face on each card.
I was also curious how well it would work (I know AI still messes things up).
Step 1
I went on ChatGPT’s new image generator and uploaded the 2 baseball card images above. (I got these cards from Google images)
Step 2
I uploaded this photo of myself. It is a recent selfie of me on a trip to Mexico.
Then I said something like this on ChatGPT:
“Here are 2 famous sports cards and a photo of me.
I want you to put my face on each card along with my name and signature.
My name is Andrew Best. I play second base. Keep the style of each card identical to the original card. Make an image of me on the Honus Wagner card.”
I did a similar thing for the Micky Mantle card.
Note: It's probably even better to do one card at a time so the AI doesn’t have a chance to mix anything up.
Boom. AI magic. ⚡️Here is what I got.
Results?
I’m blown away, I don’t think a professional could make these any better. The style is absolutely perfect.
Note: I learned that Pittsburgh used to be spelled (or actually misspelled) without an ‘h’ in the past. You might notice that the Honus Wagner card doesn’t use an ‘h’ in Pittsburgh but my card does. That’s because I told ChatGPT to put the ‘h’ in there because I didn't know. Also, I asked it to put “2nd base” on the card. I could have kept the original style if I wanted to.

🎯 Why This Is Important
This kind of stuff is more than just a meme.
It’s:
✨ Personalized content that actually gets shared
🎯 A way to stand out in a crowded online space
📈 Engagement fuel for brands, creators, and Shopify stores
🚪 A fun way to introduce people to AI without intimidating them
People want to play with this. And they want to share it.
Which means attention, which means growth.
And attention is the currency now.
It is important for brands to think about creating shareable content, especially because SEO is becoming less and less relevant due to AI.
🛠️ I’m Building a Tool to Make This Insanely Easy
Right now, this takes a few prompts and some trial and error.
But soon, I’m launching a mini-app where you can just upload your photo and get back a legendary card with your face on it — in seconds.
It’ll run on Cartario, the AI image platform I co-founded.
If you’re into this kind of stuff — for fun, marketing, or virality — you’re gonna love it.
💰 Want One for Your Brand?
If you run a Shopify store, a coaching business, or anything online…
I’ll build you a custom version of an image generation app for around $2,500.
Something shareable, branded, and actually fun — not just another boring lead magnet.
