We all love collectible trading cards, so we started thinking, doesn't our amazing school mascot deserve one too? 🧡🥔

This is just a fun concept and these are not real cards for purchase, but we want to know which design you love more! Our team put together two totally different styles and we need your help deciding which one has the best "collectible" vibe.

Either way, we think these cards should be in every collection. Go Spuds!
