Is it just me or does season 2 of the trading cards have a different aspect ratio/resolution? It seems to be more vertical now. If so what are the new image specs so I can maximize my card pics?

I have tried the Inspect tool, and it's 266 x 248.

That's really low, why not 532x496

I'm guessing some other Admin can tell us more about it, but yeah, that's what I got from Inspect. ^^;

Would that explain why the GIFs are so blurry?

That would make cards twice as large, which would look pretty gigantic, esp. sitting next to Season 1 cards. It would also make them more blurry/pixellated, because we'd have to scale up flag images to fill twice as much space (4x, really).

The reasons a flag will look blurry or pixellated are:

• The original image is small
• The original image is wide but not tall, which means it needs to be zoomed in quite far to fill the card's vertical space

That makes sense, thank you for replying.
