Knowledge
Collector's Notes
Reading the card number
The number printed vertically on the right edge of the front, such as "SDV1-002", is the card number; the figure after "SDV" is the set. The rarity (such as GDR) is printed below it, and the back shows the same number and rarity in the top right.
★ marks a parallel
A card with the same number but a ★, as in "GDR★", is a parallel with different art or finish. ★★ is a Super Parallel. The number alone can’t tell them apart, so check the printed rarity.
Rarity abbreviations
Normal (N), Rare (R), Super Rare (SR), God Rare (GDR), Pickup Rare (PUR), Secret (SEC), Extra Rare (EXR) and more. God Rare is abbreviated "GDR", not "GR".
The prefix tells you where it came from
"EX1-" is an Extra Rare from Set 1, "SDVP" a campaign or event promo, "SDVPJ" a bonus with magazines and books, and numbers starting with "AP" (AP, AP2, AP3, APT) are Advance Pack cards.
Telling it from Heroes cards
A "DRAGON BALL SUPER DIVERS" logo in the top left of the back and a number starting with "SDV" or similar mark a Super Divers card. Super Dragon Ball Heroes cards work in the machine’s SDBH Mode, but only the designated link cards can be used in Super Divers’ own modes.
Location test cards
The 14 cards from the pre-launch location tests, TEST-001 to 014, were only available then.
How to Submit
Tips for your submission
Where to find the card number
The number in the top right of the back, such as "SDV9-019", is the card number, and the figure after "SDV" is the set. The same number is also printed vertically on the right edge of the front. Search the set field by set or pack name.
The same number can also come as a ★ parallel. Choose by the rarity printed next to the number (such as GDR★).
Set 1 or Set 10?
"SDV1-0xx" and "SDV10-0xx" differ only in the figure before the hyphen. Check the start of the number before choosing the set.
Promo cards
Cards starting with "SDVP", "SDVPJ" and similar were given out in campaigns, with magazines and books, and so on. Type in the campaign, magazine or book you got them from, as far as you know.

Frequently Asked Questions

We currently accept Japanese cards only.
