Organization
The list should be split into sections, otherwise it's too much to take in, especially since he's churning these out/posting without rhyme or reason. Chris said these things are meant to be split into releases like booster packs, but the cards themselves don't indicate this. We could split it by subject matter, like "Sonichus," "alt-Sonichus," "Ponies," "OCs of Twitter enablers," etc. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 01:11, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- I was just thinking about splitting them into sections by types like Pony, Goal, and Start card. Though the pony card could use additional separations based on Sonichus, ponies, and OCs. -Larry the Larryhog (talk) 05:56, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- From a Christory perspective, I don't think there's much utility in sorting by card type. Like, in the Hasbro! MLP G4 Must Continue; NO MLP G5 page, the cards he made about MLP and Hasbro are part of his ideas on the subject. It would be good to directly link to a section here since this page holds the transcriptions of the cards, but if sorted by card type, the relevant cards are scattered across different sections.

More cards/listings
Chris updated the storefront. https://www.cwcvilleshopping.com/s/shop The Sonichu TSSSF Promo Cards 1-18 - Presale listing has a few cards which seem to be new. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 00:38, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
Sargent of Arms Pack AKA Sonichu Villains Expansion Pack
So Chris is using cards from The Sergeant At Arms youtube channel for his newest pack. I asked At Arms and he says Chris had contacted him for permission which he granted so I'm inclined to think that Chris is using his cards wholesale with no additional changes. I would upload the cards showcased in one of the videos but I am a little cautious as on the website he says there are 45 cards but in the video there are 24 if you account for the alternative art cards, so I'm not sure if Chris is lying as he always does or there are more cards not featured in the video.

Card Pricing
Looking at the pricing section I noticed someone made an edit and I just wanted to clarify. Chris has posted that he uses a site called MakePlayingCards and has tweeted out images of the cards in response to price complaints in the past. With the custom box and everything the price goes up. Chris has stated that shipping is anywhere from $7-$10 per shipment. For example, the Arizona Slime Pack costs $16.95 to print one unit, now taking into account shipping, Chris pays somewhere from $23.95 to $26.95 for a pack he is retailing for $26.00.

There is a card (not yet on the article) which has the exact same name as a previously uploaded card. Is the new one a different card or an update of the original? Rossticus (talk) 17:16, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
