When purchasing printed cards you would upload the file that was given to you, a PDF.

I'm not inherently sure what you mean by that, it won't let me upload a pdf or a svg. I pulled the images from the pdf as a jpg with whatever dpi they suggested on goprints

I have done many collector cards on GotPrint and they for sure accept PDF. It is the preferred format and will even auto detect the front and back of the card at the same time.

Now that I've said it and tried to explain it to another member, it made me a darn liar and worked.

How do you get it to upload as a pdf? I've tried and it's definitely not accepting it.

This has come up a few times now, so here's a quick capture of uploading the file for future reference.

You'll notice after I select my .pdf it takes awhile after the loader disappears for the site to actually show my proofs which can make it seem like it didn't take it. I've noticed this sometimes happening when uploading the file. You also can go through the Browse Files > Navigate to file > Open route instead of dragging the file over. Just make sure you select the right options listed earlier.

We do have an Infinite Frame and Background. We need to update this thread or move it to a Guidelines thread and lock it down for comments so that it is instructions and options only.

+1 for Infinite option
+1 for an instruction thread
Also... some bigger thumbnails than the ones on page 1 of this thread would help a ton: Those are pretty tiny to be making a decision from (see attached).

Is there any kind of master set? Whose got the biggest collection so far?

Digital files go out to the individual. Not printed cards. I think Cadet mentioned that in your other post.
So... not really a 'master set' in any one location to be had. They aren't printed by the 405th. They are printed by whichever trading card printing company the individual selects. For example: Here in AU we probably wouldn't use the same companies as in The States just because shipping of $45 on a $20 order doesn't make sense.

We should keep track of all the different cards then not physically but digitally. Maybe a big google doc that just has who's made a card and when they went out into circulation? That would be pretty rad.

As has already been explained to you, The Division Identity, Asgardianhammer, does track who has had a card created, as he is the only one who creates this art work.

I do in fact have this document and it is NOT publicly available. I have no intention of making this public as it has some personal information not all members would want public nor do I have time to make a version with edited info as that would mean keeping up with two documents. We also do not track when members have their cards printed. For all I know half of them have received their file and never had cards made or had cards made once and passed them all out and never reordered. Regardless we do the design work and its in members hands. You might be one of the few that is actually interested in "catching them all."

Makes sense, with how they have some identifying info on most of them and they are individually printed. Through I wouldn't mind helping compile a public list of some kind that's been scraped clean of private data if you don't have the time. (so long as there isn't like 50 million different alts of cards out rn lol) I don't wanna step on any toes though. Got that goblin in me and used to run inventories so I figured seeing them all in one place would be kinda neat.
