This special artist proof collection represents the creative development of the trading card project prior to its official release. It includes original concept pieces, prototypes, print tests, and experimental cards that explore borders, holographic effects, colour studies, and production methods. A select few pieces feature artwork that will appear in the official collection, offering collectors the earliest physical versions of future releases. These pieces were never intended as part of the standard release. They serve as development a-artefacts that trace the journey from concept to finished collectible. Together, they form a rare, behind-the-scenes archive of the project’s beginnings. 36 cards total.

The collection that these artist proofs helped shape is out lined below:

This project is a premium collectible art trading card collection, produced to the look, feel, weight and dimensions of professional trading cards. Each series unfolds over three scheduled drops, with each drop released every two months, creating an ongoing collecting experience, while allowing collectors time to enjoy each release before the next chapter arrives.

Every series features 150 original hand-drawn artworks, each created at the actual scale of a professional two and a half by three and a half-inch trading card. Those 150 originals are the one-of-one pieces that collectors have the opportunity to pull, making every pack a genuine chance to discover an original piece of art. Within each series, 30 of the 150 artworks form that series’ signature collection, a flagship collection unique to that release. The remaining artworks belong to multiple named collectible sets, each with its own theme and identity. Some sets continue to grow across future series, while brand new sets are introduced over time. Certain cards intentionally cross over into two or even three different sets, creating deeper collecting paths and rewarding collectors who discover connections.

Because new cards can join existing sets in future series, collectors never truly know when a favorite collection is complete. Each series expands those original artworks into 750 collectible cards across five premium production tiers, featuring advanced holographic effects, specialty finishes, limited editions, and innovative production techniques.

Each drop contains 32,000 cards, approximately 3,200 booster packs, with the complete three drop series totaling 96,000 cards. The collection is released through booster packs and booster boxes, trainer boxes and collector boxes, delivering an art first collecting experience that blends craftsmanship, original artwork, and the excitement of discovering premium cards, rare variants, and one of one original hand drawn pieces. Following the completion of each three drop series, the next series begins with a brand new signature collection, expanded existing sets, new collectible sets and fresh crossover cards, ensuring the collecting experience continues to evolve.
