Early Supporter Card Grading
Gold Standard Grading
Discover the exclusive realm of Early Supporter Cards from the Star Citizen SQUADRONS Trading Card Game. These physical promo cards, distinct from prototype playing cards, not only attest to the ongoing passion and support from our community but also serve as unique collectibles eligible for grading at Gold-Standard-Grading. Since the project's inception in 2018, ten Early Supporter Cards have been released up to this point.
Originally, the idea was that these cards could be exchanged for correspondingly rare playing cards for the trading card game, though it remains unclear if this will be realized. Nevertheless, these rare collectible cards have already gained significant collector value and are traded at high prices.
Due to the non-commercial nature of the project, these cards are not for sale and are typically distributed through livestream and Discord raffles, as well as at Bar Citizens and conventions. We also provide these cards to streamers and organizers of Star Citizen events for giveaways.
Thanks to our collaboration with Gold Standard Grading, fans can grade their Squadron Promo Cards with a special 10% discount using the code: Squadron-GSG-2024. This code is not an affiliate link, and the project is self-funded by the creator Thomas Eberhard, highlighting the early trust and support for our non-commercial project. This initiative offers fans a tangible piece of the Star Citizen Trading Card Game universe until the realization of the community project with your help.

Card Details Discover the original 2019 Star Citizen SQUADRONS final prototype, a collaboration with Cartamundi, renowned for producing iconic TCGs like Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering. Presented to Erin Roberts at Gamescom 2019's Bar Citizen and delivered to CIG, this prototype is exceptionally rare, with only 15 full sets of playing cards and 10 custom XXL location sets produced, leading to just 5 complete prototypes. Despite the small production run, these 63x88mm playing cards maintain exceptional quality. Each prototype comprises two decks (UEE White Eagles and Vanduul D´ak Marauders), one location set, two D20 dice, and a premium glossy hardcover rulebook, housed in a custom-made, high-quality box from China with a soft-touch surface, magnetic closure, and glossy logos. Currently, CIG holds two prototypes, and Thomas has the sole complete set.
