Why do we need guidelines?
In order to ensure the ongoing collectability of these cards, there are certain guidelines that we ask everyone to follow. (Think of the formats of Pokemon or baseball cards.) Please do your best to follow these guidelines, and let us know if you have an idea to improve them for future versions!
