Pokémon lands on Cardze, and football goes high-end
It's official: Cardze isn't just about football anymore. The platform now offers Pokémon cards, with two packs dressed in Poké Ball colours. And for anyone chasing the biggest football hits, two new packs sit right at the top of the range: Diamond at $500 and Emerald at $1,000. Here's what's new, and what stays exactly the same.
What's new on Cardze
Until now, Cardze was all about football: Topps and Panini cards, packs from Silver to Ruby, raffles on specific cards and the Super Sunday draw every week. None of that is going anywhere. What's changing is two drops landing at the same time.
The first is a whole second collecting universe. Pokémon fans can now rip packs on Cardze, with exactly the same logic as football. The second is for the most ambitious football collectors: the pack range now stretches higher, with two new tiers above Ruby.
Bottom line: Cardze now has 6 football packs (Silver, Gold, Purple, Ruby, Diamond, Emerald) and 2 Pokémon packs (Silver and Gold).
Cardze Pokémon packs: Silver and Gold
Pokémon Silver packPokémon Gold pack
You'll spot the Cardze Pokémon packs instantly: a Poké Ball design with the Cardze logo on the front. There are two to start with, a Silver and a Gold, following the same tier system as the football packs.
How it works doesn't change. You open the pack online, you reveal your card, and that card is 100% real: it goes straight into your vault, in your name. Keep it in your collection or have it shipped to your door.
As for prices, value ranges and odds, we're not going to guess: that info is shown on each pack's page on Cardze before you open it. Always check it before you rip, especially in a universe that's new to you.
New football packs: Diamond and Emerald
On the football side, Cardze is adding two packs at the very top of the range, above the four you might already know:

The Diamond pack costs $500 and the Emerald pack $1,000. They're built for collectors chasing the most prestigious cards who already know how Cardze works.
Same as the Pokémon packs, we don't have value ranges or odds to share here: they're displayed on each pack's page before opening. Take a look, then pick the tier that fits your budget. Nobody's forcing you to go for the top shelf: Silver and Gold are still great ways in.

FAQ: Pokémon and the new Cardze packs
Yes. Cardze now offers Pokémon cards with two packs, Silver and Gold, featuring a Poké Ball design and the Cardze logo. Just like football, the card you pull is real and goes into your vault in your name.
The Diamond pack costs $500 and the Emerald pack $1,000. They sit above the Silver ($25), Gold ($50), Purple ($100) and Ruby ($250) packs.
On Cardze, right on each pack's page. The odds and value range are shown before you open, for the Pokémon packs as well as Diamond and Emerald.
The bottom line
Cardze is levelling up. Pokémon fans finally get their own packs, and football hit-chasers have two new tiers to aim for. The core mechanic stays the same, and that's a good thing: you open online, your card is real, it goes into your vault and you can get it shipped.
New here? Start with an accessible pack to get a feel for it. Already a regular? Diamond and Emerald are calling. Either way, set your budget before you start: Cardze involves an element of chance and is for adults only.
