What is the difference between the different levels?

Each card is uniquely numbered from 1-555. Physical cards will all look the same. As far as the digital versions are concerned, beyond the color of the cards, the difference is in the rarity. While each card will offer tons of benefits, we imagine the more rare color cards will have increased utility over the long term. Please see the Membership page for a breakdown.
