*reads concerns*

Yup, all valid ones to be certain, that said I'm sure you'll all be pleasantly surprised/perfectly fine with the final outcome.

Re: special unique cards, it's not like y'all aren't going to scan 'em and make them available for printout anyway. If anything it makes it easier for you.

Well, you are part of the staff (lucky), so you're likely privy to information on the fanbook that you can't divulge to us right now due to legal reasons. But because your part in this project I trust your judgment that'll we will be "pleasantly surprised/perfectly fine with the final outcome."

Especially the fact that you are talking several people on this forum, who are foreign buyers who have an interest in this book.

I like the idea of a card for every character. There are a LOT of characters to go around if you count the obscure ones.
Are they eventually going to reach more than 1,000 cards? And is Oda going to draw each one himself or will they be taken from the manga and colored?

[Long John Silvers Rayleigh]

Ok so Im having a bit of trouble reading this. How large are these cards because im imagining there might not be a ton of room so are these like trading cards? But maybe without random chance draws like a pack of pokemon cards. Huh.

With the concern about scanning, people collecting these are after authenticity, the info will be available online as it always is early but it being copied on some cheap paper isnt gonna be what people want either

According to the official website Here , the Vivre Card book has 32 cards once you buy it as a standard .

The price for the book will be about 11-12$ + Tax

According to another source , the expansion card pack will be monthly and there will be more than 400 cards ( characters ) each year ! .

I'll fucking buy this shit.These words alone are so tempting.

[EMUNOPLA]

So the first card of the Vivre card book is decided to be for Monkey D Luffy ! and we can see that there are 4 digits (0001) so we can expect more than 1000 cards already !

The picture on page 3 of this thread says the binder is 208 mm x 150 mm in inches and I might be off by this is 8 in x 5 in so the binder itself is a bit bigger than the other databooks so the cards might be smaller.

That's been my concern as well I did translate the bulleted sentences one said an expansion pack would be released each month (as well as ones available through events and magazines), but having them be random packs wouldn't be good choice in the long run, because the cards themselves don't have any additional use outside of them being used to build your own fanbook. It's not a card game like Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, or the various carddass games in Japan. So they might be expansion packs in the same vain as Cards Against Humanity or What Do You Meme?

However I came across this while trying to find any information for trying to pre-order this:

It says this book is "not considered a databook", any help as to why they're saying this is much appreciated.

but having them be random packs wouldn't be good choice in the long run

I agree, that wouldn't be a good choice.

[MarcelloF]

This seems like a neat idea, but I'm not sure I'm a fan. We've gotten all the manga databooks here in Germany and I don't see this coming over. Hopefully, we eventually get another databook.

[Thugcat]

What meaningfull informations can we expect from this data book ?

[Moriah]

Something else I was thinking about is cards for characters who have different forms, which granted isn't as widespread, but several do exist. Such as Luffy's Gear Fourth forms, Zoan-type devil fruit users (especially with Chopper and his numerous forms), Tamago's two additional forms from his devil fruit, or Caesar Clown's Shinokuni form (although that could just get a picture on the back of his card).

Or if two characters could be counted as one such as the Funk brothers or Abdullah and Jeet (especially the latter two since aside from height and weapon difference neither displayed any unusual abilities). Or Cavendish and Farul, will they get separate cards or will the latter just be featured on Cavendish's card but never get his own? (Which could also go for Doc Q and Stronger as well when they eventually reappear in the story).

[Johnny B. Decent]

Is there any examples of these cards, by chance?

[Greg]

Yeah! The style was revealed along with the cover.

[RamistaR]

I assume there is more information on the back of the card and the front is just for the character's general features.
There is not much text to describe the main character on this side is what I mean.

[Johnny B. Decent]

Well, some universal factoids could be: Height, Age, Where they are from, Bounty/Marine Rank, things like that.

Spoiler:

[RamistaR]

Looks like Luffy is gonna be used as the reference for character's size comparison.

[andre]

This databook will be worth it for me if all of the cards have older concept art and interesting history tidbits.

I might have found the ISBN for this fanbook:
