Card Types

We have quite a variety of different card types to show off different aspects and pictures of our favorite Celebs. Most cards are obtainable in Packs, but can sometimes only be available during special times of year, or during Events.

Below is a description of our different card types, with some examples as well.

Also have a look at the Card Codes page, to understand the uniquely identifying codes we use to refer to cards, especially when doing Trading.

Who makes cards?
We have a team of Card Creators that make our cards. We often use images suggested by our users, though. Head on over to our Discord and share your images in the #image-suggestions channel! We have specific requirements for some of the images, and you can read more about those one the Image Requirements page.

= Signature sets = Base, IF, SIF, and XIF Cards are the base cards of each Celeb. They will always be available when a Celeb gets added to the database, even if they are later Retired. When you collect at least 1 of each, you automatically get the Signature Card (often shortened to sig card) in your album. If you trade one of the Base-XIF cards, and don't have the collection anymore, the Signature Card will also disappear from your album.

These are the naming conventions of the Signature set cards (the shorthand in parentheses are the ones used for the Card Codes):
 * Base/Basic (B)
 * In-Form (IF)
 * Super In-Form (SIF)
 * Extra In-Form (XIF)
 * Signature Card (S)

You can increase chances of getting the Base-XIF card of a specific Celeb by using Boosters based on the Classification of the Celeb.

You can Combine 3 of the same Base-SIF card into the next tier's card: 3×Base = IF, 3×IF = SIF, and 3×SIF = XIF.

= Special Cards = All card types not part of the Signature sets are considered Special Card types.

Career Cards (C)
You can combine 2 of the XIF card of a Celeb to get their C card. In case the Celeb has multiple C cards, you can choose which C card you want. Previously, choosing instead of getting a random C card from the celeb had a cost of 2 GC, but we've removed that cost now.

Career cards can either be one-off for a specific role or work, or be in a few lines of C cards that appear for several different Celebs (this list might not be exhaustive):
 * Angelic Cards for models (Victoria's Secret Angels with wings)
 * Pink Robe Cards for Victoria's Secret models
 * Wanna Rock Cards for singers
 * Influencer Cards for Instagram/other influencers
 * Sports Illustrated shoot Cards
 * Olympic Medal cards for athletes

Sometimes, when a movie, show, or series, have several database celebs, we also make smaller collections of matching Career cards for their roles.

Seasonal Cards
Seasonal cards have a high chance of appearing inside their respective Packs, which are available for a limited time each year. These cards are always in Lottery Packs though, so you might get lucky off-season too!

Our current Seasonal Cards:
 * Valentine's (VAL): Cards with two or more celebs together.
 * Spring (SPR): Spring-feel cards with outdoors photos, flowers, and pastel colors.
 * Juneteenth (JUN): Special cards for African-descent celebs, celebrating Juneteenth with yellows, greens, reds, and blacks.
 * Summer (SUM): Celebrities in Summer photoshoots, with water, bikinis, airy summer dresses, and beaches.
 * Fall (FAL): Comfy bundled up celebs, with Autumn leaves, brown and orange notes.
 * Chinese New Year (CNY): Special cards for Chinese celebrities. Red outfits.
 * Halloween (HWN): Celebrities dressing up.
 * Christmas (XMAS): Cards with a Christmassy setting.
 * Pride (P): Special colorful cards for celebrities that are openly LGBT+.

Note that SPR and FAL are often lumped together as Equinox cards, and can drop both during Spring and Fall in our Equinox packs.

Note also that VAL cards are not listed under a Celeb's cards because it has (at least) 2 names of them. Mostly 2+ DB Celebs, but sometimes a DB Celeb with someone not in the DB.

Nations Cards
Nations Cards all go under the Card Type NAT, but can be the Celeb under many different country-related images. It does not have to be the country that the Celeb is from, but instead the photo itself needs to represent the country. Usually this is done with a flag, while a few cards have been done with well-known landmarks instead.

Currently, we have Nations cards from these countries, but more could appear:
 * Albania (ALB)
 * Australia (AUS)
 * Brazil (BRA)
 * Cuba (CUB)
 * Denmark (DK)
 * Malta (MAL)
 * Mexico (MEX)
 * Netherlands (NLD)
 * Puerto Rico (PR)
 * Turkey (TUR)
 * United Kingdom (UK)
 * United States (USA)

Other Themed Cards
We have a growing list of Special Card types that require the used image to be with a specific kind of outfit, a specific kind of setting, a specific source, or something else. This lists all of them:
 * Denim (DEN): Jeans and other denim clothing.
 * Fantasy (F, FNT, or FAN): Looks for fantasies - typically lying down, looking at the camera.
 * Glasses (G): Wearing glasses.
 * In The Nude (ITN): No clothes, or only very skimpy one-pieces.
 * Leather/Latex (L): Leather or latex outfits.
 * Monochromatic (MONO, or M): Black and white photos.
 * Mirror Selfie (MS): Selfies in front of a mirror
 * Neon (N): Bright colorful lights on the celeb.
 * Q: Special Sarc line of cards with exceptional photos.
 * Saturday Night Live (SNL): Official images from the SNL show.
 * Sports (SPO): Wearing sports jerseys.
 * Suits (SU): Wearing suits or blazers.
 * Visage (V): Portraits, focusing on the face.
 * Workout (WO): Doing any kind of workout, or wearing workout clothes.

Remember that more details about the types of images we use for these cards can be seen on the Image Requirements page.

Event Cards
We also have Cards that relate to specific events, either in the real world or in our Battles.


 * Celeb of the Month (CotM): For celebs that have done particularly well in the real world during the month.
 * Celeb of the Year (CotY): For celebs that have done particularly well in the real world (or CBL) during the year.
 * Cup (LL, CdD, or ITC): For celebs that do well in specific Cups.
 * Celebrity Excellence (CX): For celebs that do well in our Leagues.
 * Premier League (PL): For celebs that get top-3 in our Leagues.
 * Special Awards (SA): Special cards given to celebs that did something significant on CBL.
 * Event Cards (E): Special cards only obtainable during specific CBL events, following quests, often related to an event in the real world.
 * Hunger Games Cards (HG): Special cards that celebs can get if they do well in the Hunger Games event.

We have a specific page with more details on the CX and PL cards, detailing how celebs get these cards and how you can obtain the PL cards via trading in sets of CX cards.

= Cards for non-db celebs = We also have a few Card Types where the Celeb in the Card does not have to be in the regular database celeb listing.

These are typically for older Celebs, where a full set might not be possible, or where the interest in them is more niche:
 * Retro (R): Older celebrities that might not have enough of a following or enough high quality pictures to be added as a full database celeb.
 * Playboy (PB): Playboy shoots.
 * Diwali (DI): Indian celebrities, typically wearing saris, cholis, and other traditional Indian clothing.

Note that a celebrity getting a card in one of these categories does not bar them from becoming a full database celeb later.

= Custom Cards (CC) = Custom Cards are a special prize that can be given out in giveaways like the raffle. Then a card creator will make a card especially for/with you, with whatever content you might want.

Sarc Gift cards (SG)
We also have Sarc Gift Cards, which are Custom Cards specifically made by Sarc.

Obtaining Custom cards
Usually, Custom Cards are only for the user that originally got them, and even "Any Card" prizes cannot be used to obtain them. SG Cards are special in this regard, since these can be obtained with "Any Card" prizes, if the original owner approves of it.

= About the rarity and value of cards = more to come here

In general, the value of a card is determined as a combination of the card type, the celeb, the rarity of the card (including how new it is), how much you like it or not, and how much the person you are trading with like it or not. A trade is always easiest with cards within the same card type, or at least card types that have somewhat similar drop rates and rarities - however, even then, sometimes people will want something on top of a card if they were only somewhat wanting to trade it, or if it is new or a very popular celeb. A very common question on our Discord is if a trade seems fair, so always feel free to ask the community while you are still getting a feel for things!

= Combining Special Cards = There are several ways to obtain Special Cards, apart from pulling them in Packs. If you have Special Cards that you don't want, you can combine them into other cards, given you have enough of the right card type of them.

For example, if you have 4 Julianne Moore SPR cards and don't want them, you can combine them into a choice of another SPR card. If instead you have 6 different SPR cards you don't want, you can also combine those into a choice of another SPR card.

You can read more about this on the Combines page, where all the different options are listed.
