THE FOUNDERS SIGNATURE

Your cards.
A place in the story.

Gold Legendary 10. Silver Gem Mint 10. The approved Founders label family brings one distinctive LORE identity across eligible realms.

Metallic finishes, the LORE star, and the Founders Club inscription. Membership never guarantees a grade. Only your card earns its grade—whether that is an 8, a 9, a 10, or another grade.

Do I choose a separate membership for each realm?

No. There is one LORE Gold Founders Club, capped at 500 members across the platform.

Does Gold Founders membership guarantee a Gold 10?

Are my first ten cards included in the membership fee?

No. The scheduled inaugural allocation costs $1,000 for ten cards, separate from membership. The regular Founder rate is $75 per eligible card for three years.

When does the turnaround clock start?
