General Trading Guidelines
Terms:
- Ephemerals [E] are cards that are only available for a limited period before being unobtainable from card packs.
- Vintages [V] are cards that are unobtainable from card packs.
- Recents [R] are normal card sets that are currently in demand. I personally limit the Recents to the five most recently released card sets.
- Soon Vintages [SV] are normal card sets that will soon be unobtainable from card packs.
- Normals [N] are normal cards sets that are neither Recents nor Soon Vintages that are currently obtainable from card packs.
- Randoms are any random cards. I allow substituting Normals with Randoms if that is easier for you. (Rarity must still match.)
Note:
- These guidelines aren’t fixed. I’d say these guidelines are more “Value-oriented” rather than “Community-oriented”. When I do “community-oriented” trades, I’m much more willing to agree to more generous trades to help others complete their collections.
- When offering [Common] cards for [Common] Normals, the card number is how much it is worth in [Common]s. For example, a Normal Card # 4 is worth 4 [Common]s.
