General Questions
What are "caps"?
In sports, a cap is a metaphorical term for a player's appearance in a game at international level. The term dates from the practice in the United Kingdom of awarding a cap to every player in an international match of association football. In the early days of football, the concept of each team wearing a set of matching shirts had not been universally adopted, so each side would distinguish itself from the other by wearing a specific sort of cap. See this wikipedia article for more information.
So, in a nod to soccer history, at Club Collector, "caps" are our "currency" - think of them like coins or credits.
What can I do with my "caps"?
As of today, you can spend your caps to buy various types of card packs. In the near future, you'll be able to use yours caps for things like specific uncommon card raffles, new card packs, card and pack "auctions" and for trading with other Club Collectors.
Can I trade cards with other owners?
Yes! Owners can trade Uncommon cards with other owners to build out their collections. Trading of Common cards is not available currently, as common cards are easily available to collect through packs.
To trade cards, go to the "Card Gallery" page, select the card and Uncommon rarity you are interested in trading for. You'll be able to see all the other owners who have that card and you can then make an offer to trade with them by clicking the "Trade" button.
I have a lot of duplicate cards. What can I do with them?
Once you start collecting many duplicate common cards, you can "upgrade". This means if you collect a lot of duplicates of one specific card, you will be able to "trade-in" a number of those duplicates for the next level rarity version of that card. Or you can trade in duplicates of several different cards for special Common and Uncommon upgrade packs.
