TRADER REWARDS

Just as you may have already expected, trading is a very big part of trading card games. Not only is trading extremely beneficial to your collecting decks, it also serves as an opportunity to gain more cards through a counting system that most TCGs may refer to as stamp cards.

For every 20 cards you trade, you complete 1 stamp card. Turning in 1 stamp card will earn you 4 random cards. Unlike other trading card games that Caitlin has helped run, Idolise has decided to skip on photo cards or other stamp card rewards, because we’d rather spend time making other custom items.

While it is not required to fill out a physical stamp card (like the examples below) to track your progress, we do invite members to make their own should they enjoy having them in their trade piles. They are worth nothing and truly do serve no purpose, other than looks.

If you’re interested in making your own, you can find the PSD here. If you are not Photoshop savvy, I’m very sorry! We will not be accepting donations for stamp cards. As they are purely for looks and have no value in game, we are allowing members to make their own at this time.

PHOTOCARDS

If you’re looking to make yourself a little reward for your efforts, we’ve decided to allow our members their right to make their own photocards. Throughout time, Kpop TCGs have often provided some sort of trading incentive, like photocards, that were made by the staff. Making photocards may actually be one of the most time consuming things on earth, so Idolise is skipping them, but giving you guys the opportunity to make your own using any photos and effects you freaking want.

Because not everyone is running Photoshop and they may still want photocards, we’re decided allow members to take photocards that they see on other people’s pages and upload them to their own. Because of that reason, members are encouraged to name their photocards after themselves, and put a number on the end, so that members can easily save and reupload with credit to the original source. Below are three examples that Caitlin has made, but there are no real rules here for what you can do. At the end of the day, as long as you like your own photocard, then it doesn’t matter what anyone else says.

The only condition to photocards is that you are only allowed one photocard for every completed 20 trades. If you have only handed in one stampcard, you should not have 20 photocards!

The PSD file can be found here. Again, these are not at all required! They are purely for looks.

TRADING LOGS

What is required is tracking your trades in your logs, preferably with some sort of number/counting system like the examples below as you will have to submit the portion of your logs that you're using for a stamp card whenever you turn one in.

As you can see, at Idolise we include member cards when counting trades for stamp cards and in general, we care about the amount of cards you trade not the amount of trades you make overall. So even though Player A traded 2 cards to Player B in one trade, we would count that as 2 trades not 1. When you're ready to turn in a stamp card, visit our Trader Rewards page to submit a form and pick up your cards!
