You were there.Now it's a card.
Turn any game-day snapshot into an authentic trading card. Courtside at the arena or on the little-league sideline, shoot it, mint it, and it's stamped with where you were and when, proven by GPS and the clock.
DRAG IT · TILT IT · A REAL CARD, SHOT FROM THE STANDS
The vault
Lambeau Field. Yankee Stadium. Madison Square Garden. The Rose Bowl. The comedy club on a Thursday. One design per event type, in that event's colours, numbered to the night it was shot.
DRAG TO SPIN THE VAULT
Watch a moment become a card
The real thing
These three are real, one photograph, shot from a seat at American Airlines Center, minted three ways. Tap any card to flip it and read the back: the verification, the mint number, the QR that proves it.
Shot by the founder. The only sample cards on this page are ones we actually own.
Two crowds, one card
Same camera, same proof, two very different nights.

This card is real, and it moves. Our own footage from the upper deck at the Arlington supercross, playing inside the card. Tap for the sound of the gate.
Nobody else has this
Hold to record at the game and the card plays the moment, crowd noise, arena lights, the play itself. Every live card carries fifteen seconds, you choose which fifteen, and your vault keeps the full clip. This one is real footage from our seats at a Mavericks game. The only card that moves, and it still prints as the still.

Pros to pee wee
There's no other place a stadium fan and a little-league parent hold the same product. One camera, one proof, the whole ladder.
The school plan COMING SOON
Picture day, digitized for the whole building, basketball to the marching band, the cheerleaders to the choir. Every kid gets a real card: name, number, position or chair, class rank.
Little league doesn't have to wait. Youth football, rec-league hoops, a 40-kid pee wee squad , coaches and parents can mint the whole roster in the app today. The school plan is for whole buildings; your team just needs the camera.
The first 25 schools become Founding Schools. Half the standard rate, locked in for life , it never goes up on you. The ORIGINAL FOUNDER star sits on your school's space and every card set you ever print. Reserve a seat now; when the 25 are gone, they're gone.
How it works
Go to a game, a show, a concert. The app knows the event, and GPS and the clock are the proof. No ticket needed in the app.
Tap for a photo, hold for video. Missed the dunk? The camera holds the seconds before you pressed, so you can reach back and take it.
Trade cards are capped per event, 3 a night, fewer in the playoffs, one at a championship. Keepsakes are yours forever. Print any card when the night closes.
The app finds the event, not you. Live event data tells us what's happening within a mile of where you're standing, the game, the venue, the tip-off window. You never type a venue, so a venue can never be faked.
Trade cards must earn the checkmark. Taken in the app, GPS inside the venue, trusted clock inside the event window. All three or the card says NOT VERIFIED, and an unverified card can't trade as verified.
Keepsakes are yours either way. Giving a card to family? Shooting your kid at a park with no ticketed event? It still mints, it's still real, the back just shows honestly which checks passed. The high bar exists to protect the traded cards' value, not to stop your memories.

Questions people ask
Yes. Shooting, minting, keeping, and sharing digital cards is free. You pay only if you want a card printed, and free and paid users get the exact same mint caps, scarcity is never for sale.
Trade cards are capped at three per person per regular-season event, fewer for playoffs and championships. The total minted at an event freezes when the night closes, your card's number in that run is permanent.
No. Team cards made through a school or program account are visible only to that school's own community through its private link. Kids' cards are never public and never tradeable.
Three checks at the moment you shoot: taken inside the app, GPS inside the venue, and a trusted clock inside the event window. Pass all three and the card is verified forever. Miss one and the card still mints, it just says honestly what happened.
You can export your card, but real Firsthand prints come from professional card presses at 300 dpi on true card stock, shipped to you, the same file a card shop would cut.
The app arrives on Google Play first, iOS after. Join the waitlist above and you'll know the hour it's live.
Why this exists
Firsthand was built in Dallas by a lifelong fan who kept looking at his own photos from the stands, LeBron and Klay at American Airlines Center, supercross at AT&T Stadium, and realized the card industry sells everyone else's moments. Every sample on this page is one of ours. Yours are next.
