These cards were (are) included with the purchase of electronic games of the same name or topic at a rate of one card per game ordered.  For example, one Turok card was shipped with each Turok game ordered.  Several of the cards were short printed to varying degrees including 50 rare cards to date (1st Qtr. 2020) and two "ultra rare" cards; #100 (Autograph Card) and #133 (Rabi-Ribi CE).  There are two versions of each card; one with a silver finish and a more limited version with a gold finish.  According to Limited Run Games, 'We don't expect anyone to attempt to chase all of the gold cards so the actual card art is the same. They (the two finishes) exist to make opening packages from us exciting, since you could end up with one (gold finish) with any order.'

 

Limited Run Games is a publisher of limited run physical games for PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Their goal is to produce games that were previously only available in a digital format to a physical medium. 'We're game collectors and players who fear the prophesied all-digital future. We hope that we're not crazy to think that there are other people like us that still want physical games.'
