Football is back in Minnesota. Vikings training camp opens Saturday, August 1 at the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center in Eagan, and for the first time this year it runs alongside Legends Weekend. Thirteen practices are open to the public, capped by a night practice under the lights and two joint sessions with the Baltimore Ravens. If you are planning the drive to Eagan, it is also the perfect moment to lock in the centerpiece for your fan cave: a solid-wood plaque built with real licensed Vikings cards.
Our flagship: the Justin Jefferson 8-card 12x15, eight of his best cards on one solid-wood plaque.

Who to watch, and how to put them on your wall
These are the current Vikings worth the trip to Eagan, and the plaques that put them front and center in your fan cave.
Justin Jefferson, Wide Receiver
The best receiver in football and the face of the franchise. Every route he runs in camp is a highlight, and no Vikings wall is complete without him.
- 4x6 single-card plaque: $14
- 6x8 two-card plaque: $18
- 8x10 three-card plaque: $26
- 12x15 eight-card plaque: $52
J.J. McCarthy, Quarterback
The young signal-caller looking to seize the starting job in 2026. Camp is where his story really begins, and this is the plaque to get in early on.
The core on one plaque
Want the current offense together on a single piece? The SKOL 2026 plaque puts three of the team's stars side by side.
Prefer the cards themselves? Grab a team set
If you would rather have the whole roster in hand, a hand-collated or factory-sealed team set is the move. These carry the current stars plus the full team checklist.
- 2025 Donruss Vikings team set (JJ McCarthy, Jefferson): $10
- 2025 Donruss factory-sealed Vikings team set: $12
For the history: Vikings legends
Camp is about the future, but the fan cave earns its stripes with the past. Randy Moss, Adrian Peterson, and the purple greats live on these.
- Vikings All-Time Greats fan cave plaque, 8x10, three cards: $26
- Vikings All-Time Greats legends plaque, 12x15, eight cards: $52
Gear up for the season
Whether you make it to Eagan or watch from home, camp is the signal that Vikings football is back. Pick the player who owns your wall, or hand a plaque to the fan in your life who lives and dies with the purple. The exact card may vary slightly from the one pictured, and you will always get a genuine licensed card of the player.
