Drop Types & Cadence
A Drop is the team's live opening event: sealed product, opened on stream, with every card going exclusively to members through Name Your Value. Every Drop is one of three types — named by who funds it.
The three Drop types
Funded by the Team Bank — the team's pooled dues and card-sales revenue. Exclusively current product, fresh off the press.
Funded by the founder personally to seed the team's early growth — any product, the founder's call. The current series. Draws nothing from the Team Bank.
Funded by ETC the company — never the Team Bank. Exclusively products from past calendar years, including every Elevation Day reward.
Whatever the type, the rules never change: opened live on stream, documented card by card, and every card offered exclusively to the team.
The cadence
Drops run three to four times a week, each on its own 7-day cycle — a Drop's cards open together and close together on a fixed, published window, so there's always something live and the team stays in sync with current releases. The Drop Schedule is the canonical calendar: every date is posted in advance, and changes are announced before they happen.
Growth is the only clock. Every milestone reached by the team unlocks the next level — faster Drops, bigger boxes, funded together.
Base cards & complete-set lots
Base cards pulled in Team and Founder Drops are accumulated through the last box of the case, then compiled into complete-set lots and made available for offer as part of the case's last Drop. Base cards from ETC Drops are made available individually.
Where this goes — at 4,000 members
A conservative estimate of what the team will be able to achieve at our 4,000-member goal — funded by the Team Bank alone.
