FAQ

How LIFE TCG rarity works

Why does population matter?

According to the official LIFE TCG site, 1st Edition holographics are printed to match the real-world population of the animal in the wild, up to 30,000. So a holo of an animal with 3,000 left in the wild is far scarcer than one with 100,000.

What do the corner codes mean?

The code in the bottom-left corner of each card tells you its type:

1st H · Holo1st F · Full Art1st R · Rare1st U · Uncommon1st C · Common
How rare is a Full Art?

The official site lists Full Arts at 10% of the wild population. Our Northern River Shark (pop. 4,000) works out at a Full Art run of about 400.

What's in a Booster Box?

The official site lists the Booster Box as 36 packs (360 cards), including a guaranteed gold pack in which every card is a holo. 1st Edition boxes are limited to 5,000 of each.

Is this the official LIFE TCG site?

No. Artisan TCG is an independent fan channel. For official products and information, visit lifetcg.com.
