Custom-made ball cards for a Celebration of Life (as opposed to prayer cards for a funeral)

Jamericon

My uncle recently passed away and was a fan of the NY Mets and Jets. In lieu of funeral, he requested in his will a Celebration of Life. And in lieu of prayer cards, my mother-in-law (his sister) and his wife would like to make available custom sport cards showing his likeness and fondness for sports. I've seen custom cards posted here on these boards before (of professional athletes), but being a paper money collector I'm unfamiliar with persons/groups who make those cards.

So I'm looking for assistance to either locate a group who may furnish such cards for purchase, or to educate me how to create and print such cards myself. Help is appreciated. You can send me a PM. And I apologize in advance if this is not the correct forum for my inquiry.

Very basic, but easy to get in bulk.

For the amount of cards you'd need, the topps page above is a great option

This is a great idea! I screen shotted this months ago on Facebook and have already told my future wife and my 2 sons that this is what I want done when I pass, in the design of a 1960 or 61 Yaz:
