Abstract: A card-type memorabilia article including a photographic print paper intermediate layer, a urethane top layer, and an ink-receptive laminate. The intermediate layer defines opposing, first and second major surfaces, and displays a photographic image on the first major surface. The urethane top layer is applied over the first major surface. The ink-receptive laminate is applied over the second major surface, with the laminate defining an outer face. The ink-receptive coating protects ink that is written onto the outer face from smudging and smearing. The high quality photographic image is environmentally protected by the urethane layer, whereas the laminate not only protects against water damage, but also receives autographs or other ink-created marking without smudging or smearing.
