Free shipping over $35.
Here's how to pick the right one.
For the Baseball Dad
Baseball plaques are the core of what FreshDCards does best — a dozen Hall of Famers, sized from a $14 desk plaque to a $48 full-size display piece. The key is picking the player who matters to the specific fan.

For the Basketball Dad
FreshDCards basketball plaques cover the Spurs dynasty and growing. If the basketball fan in your life lived through Tim Duncan's run in San Antonio, a Duncan plaque is the gift that marks it — five championships, one city, no drama, sizes from $14 to $48.
