| PN: | This is an unofficial numbering system Pixelboy devised to uniquely identify each and every e-Card. He felt the need to implement this numbering system because not all e-Cards have serial numbers printed on them, and because e-Cards may come from a variety of different sources. (What does "PN" stand for, you ask? "Pixelboy Number". Yeah, it's corny, but at least the acronym sounds okay. ;-) ) |
| Serial Number: | The identification code printed somewhere on the card. |
| Name: | The main designation of the e-Card, together with a numeric identifier if the card is part of a consecutive sub-series. |
| Category: | Specifies the group to which the e-Card belongs. e-Cards are usually part of larger series, such as "NES-e", "Pokémon Expedition", "Game & Watch", etc. |
| Maker: | Indicates the name of the company responsible for the development of the data encoded on the e-Card data strips. |
| Distributor: | Indicates the name of the company responsible for the production, marketing and general distribution of the e-Card. |
| Release Date: | The date at which the e-Card became available to the public, either through retail outlets, or via promotional events. |
| Rarity Level: | Rates the difficulty involved in finding the card. Most e-Cards are either "Common" or "Uncommon", meaning they can be found rather easely. Some cards are labelled "Rare" or "Very Rare", and as the label implies, they are harder to find. Please take note that the rarity ratings for the Animal Crossing-e series might be slightly inaccurate. |
| Availability: | Indicates the available ways you can acquire the e-Card. |
| Data Strips: | Describes how many data strips there are on the e-Card, and comments on the contents of these data strips, mostly in terms of their relation to other cards. If the card is meant to be used with a Nintendo Game Cube game, it will be mentionned here. |
| Notes: | Additional miscellaneous comments about the e-Card, historical facts, etc. |
| Do I have it: | Specifies if Pixelboy has an exemplary of the card in his personal collection. This might be useful to certain visitors of this site. |
