Frequently Asked Questions

A Fankado card is a collectible trading card featuring creators and other famous people. Fankado cards are "phygital" — both physical and digital. You buy a digital pack containing one digital card of the specific creator you want. When you open the pack, you reveal the contents — either a base card or one of the limited-edition rare cards. The card is automatically added to your digital collection, and it includes one redemption you can use to order a physical card. A card can only be redeemed once.
Each pack contains a random card from the creator's specific drop. Cards come in different rarities. The rarer the card, the lower the odds — most recent odds are stated on each drop page and may change quickly.
Yes. Every card you pull can be ordered as a physical collectible card. Each digital card comes with one physical optional physical redemption. Digital cards are instant, and cards ship worldwide.
A slab card is a physical card sealed in a premium protective display case, similar to graded sports cards. Slabs preserve and showcase your rarest pulls and make perfect display pieces.
Creators earn revenue every time a fan buys one of their packs. It's free to launch a card drop — eligible creators can pick from the drops available to get started.

Every pack comes with one card, which could be a base card or another rarity level. The types of rare cards vary by pack, and the pack page will have more specific details. The general categories are:

  • Grail cards: Grail cards are the rarest cards in a pack and are usually numbered 1/1. There will generally be at least one in a drop and possibly additional Grail cards depending on the drop size, sometimes including autographs.
  • Chase cards: These are the second-rarest cards in a pack. They may be numbered, such as #/99, or feature limited print styles, special frames, or autographs.
  • Rare cards: These are card designs available in limited quantities. Population and availability details will be shown on the pack page.
  • Base cards: These are the more common card designs. They generally do not include numbering or autographs, but are still collectible cards featuring the creator.
The most common way to get a card is to buy a pack of the specific creator on Fankado. When you buy a pack you get one card of that creator, which could be a base card or a more rare card. Packs can contain different types of rares. It could be a numbered card (for example, a 1/1 card or a #/99 card), a premium color, an autograph card, a redemption card, etc. In addition to the cards found in packs, special cards, such as experience cards, may be directly listed on the site by creators and available for purchase at a fixed price or through an auction.
Signing up is completely free. You can earn points by logging in, claiming your daily reward, inviting friends, and other actions. Points can then be used to buy packs, and the points price per pack varies. Packs are for purchase and pack prices vary.
Some cards may include creator-defined extras—like access to content, community roles, event entry, special merch, etc. Benefits are optional and vary by creator/card; they’re a bonus, not a guarantee. Your digital collection contains ways for you to show that you own the card. Creators will also have ways to message you directly with event links, etc. Cards and packs are sold as non-monetary collectibles and Fankado has no control over any offers/perks offered by a creator.
Each drop has a fixed size (e.g., 10,000 cards) and a set number of rares (e.g., 100). When a pack is opened a random card will be selected, and then the odds of the remaining cards will be updated accordingly.
On the pack page you will see the odds of pulling the rares available in the drop. Odds update as packs are opened, so to get the latest odds on a pack page please refresh the page in case more packs have been opened since the page loaded. The odds section will display the quantities of each type available. Please keep in mind Fankado only knows the updated odds after a pack has been opened. You are not required to open the packs you buy right away so the odds you see will reflect the odds based on unopened packs, which may not match the number of unsold packs.
The platform is meant to be open to influencers and creators but there are some requirements in place. The main criteria for now is that you must have at least 250,000 total followers across the platforms you create content on (eg YouTube, Instagram, TikTok). For example, if you have 100K YouTube subs, 50K on Instagram and 100K on TikTok then you would meet our audience criteria. Your Fankado trading cards must include real photos of you, preferably in action shots. The photos will be sent for review where they may be adjusted slightly or a request to update them with guidance will be given. We don't allow drawings, cartoons, etc, at this time but may explore limited themed drops like that in the future. If you are interested in creating cards on our platform and meet the criteria you can sign up and apply to be a card creator.
Yes, the Creators on the platform are verified. Prior to creating any drops we will require a verification step to confirm the identity of the creator to ensure they are who they say they are. This is part of the creator onboarding flows in the product. Verification may include asking the creator to post a secret message in an instagram or YouTube post, a verification phone call / Zoom, or other steps to verify their identity.
Today, only physical cards can be traded or sold. The digital card is proof you own it and may enable benefits when those are offered by creators although there are no guarantees any cards will have benefits. Once you have the physical card on hand it is up to you what you do with it. In the future we may support transferring digital cards between users but it is not yet supported.
Yes. While we’re focused on influencers and creators today, the platform also works for entertainers, athletes, and other famous people. At this time we are not supporting brands but if you are a brand looking to explore your options feel free to reach out to us.
No. Fankado cards are not NFTs and no crypto or blockchain is involved at all. You get a digital card in your Fankado collection and have the redemption right to order one physical copy of the card. At this time Fankado does not make use of any blockchain technology and cards are for fan support and have no guaranteed value.
