Understanding Sorare Cards: Pro, Common, and Scarcity Levels
Understanding Sorare Cards: Pro and Common Explained
Sorare is a fantasy football game built around collectible digital player cards, which are used to build teams and enter fantasy competitions based on real-life performances. These cards come in different scarcity levels: Limited, Rare, Super Rare, and Unique.
While every Manager starts their journey with Common cards, Pro cards are the key to unlocking the full Sorare experience, including the Marketplace and advanced prize pools.
What are Pro Cards?
Pro Cards are the core of the Sorare ecosystem. Unlike Common cards, which are digital-only assets for learning the game, Pro cards are officially licensed digital collectibles with verified scarcity.
As a Manager, owning a Pro card means:
True Ownership: You can buy, sell, and trade these cards on the Sorare Marketplace.
Scarity-Based Rewards: Pro cards allow you to enter Pro competitions where you can win Cash, ETH, and more Pro cards.
Year-Round Utility: These cards can be used season after season, as long as the player is playing in a covered league.
The Scarcity Levels
Each season, a fixed number of Pro cards are minted for every player. The scarcity of the card often determines which competitions you can enter:
| Scarcity | Cards Minted per Season | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 🟨 Limited (Yellow) | 1,000 | Entry-level Pro competitions |
| 🟥 Rare (Red) | 100 | Mid-tier competition & higher rewards |
| 🟦 Super Rare (Blue) | 10 | High-stakes gameplay |
| 🟪 Unique (Purple) | 1 | The ultimate collectible; one per player |
Common vs. Pro Cards
It is important to understand the difference as you build your club:
Common Cards (Grey): These are free and unlimited. They are designed for "Set" mode to help you learn the scoring system and participate. They cannot be sold or traded.
Pro Cards (Limited - Unique): These must be purchased on the Marketplace or crafted from essence. They are the only cards that can be used to win cash prizes and participate in the global transfer market.
