The Collection Collection v2
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2020 5:50 pm
Welcome to The Collection Collection v2!
The Collection Collection v2 is the premier list of collections in the entire Trading Cards minigame, reuniting diverse collections by hundreds of nations sorted into categories and subcategories. This thread is the successor of the original Collection Collection created by Ponderosa, who has full credit for the idea and whose permission I also acquired for making this thread.
I aim to host solely general-interest collections, therefore categories such as friends/favorites, self-collections, regional collections, and cards for sale will not be included. Try to present one collection for cards of all seasons related to your theme, but in certain cases different seasonal collections are allowed.
New posts about collections to be submitted for review are encouraged, as are any commentary and discussion posts! Any collection should have a theme unique enough to warrant inclusion and be the largest in its field. Furthermore, it should also a significantly large size, although the bar is subjective and related to how many cards overall exist for the theme rather than a fixed number.
Collections whose owners cease to exist may either be moved to The Boneyard if no replacement has been found, or be replaced by another one by a living nation. Ex-nation collections can be perused so long as the nation name isn't on the link, otherwise an error message will be displayed. The game adds it whenever one switch pages, so that should be removed from the URL in order to see it fully.
