SLOPPS™ — the proudly unlicensed trading card, every one an original fan-art tribute, lovingly mis-painted by a robot · one card per pack, drawn from everything you rank · every card is stamped with the moment it printed and the subject's chart rank at that instant · the chart keeps moving, and the DRIFT is live: printed low then climbs to the podium = ★ ROOKIE (2.5×), printed at the top of something that collapsed = ★ RELIC (1.5×) — every card is a bet on its subject's future · every card refracts its subject through one of ten PRISMS — commons print in Midnight Pulp, Chibi, Zine Riso, or Major Arcana; rares in Iconic, Floating World, or Constructivist; epics in Old Master or Cathedral; a foil is a Black Velvet painting, and you will know it when you see it · that's series one, still printing — true rarity unknowable until the bell · open them, or sell and trade them still in the foil · click a card to see it big · sell to the house or name your price on the Slop Mart™ · blockchain sold separately
Go stand in front of any list and hit ◈ mint sealed — 150 chips, one of that list's top ten (the list decides which), sealed in foil, never common. pick a list →

The balance is computed from your ledger — it can't be faked, including by us. Starting a new list costs a little (it keeps the bots and the unwell from creating ten thousand). We considered launching a SLOP10 coin. We are not launching a SLOP10 coin.
