Survey Insights: How Well Do Trading Card Applicants Track Their Entries?

A recent investigation conducted by TCG Pro, a company specializing in the trading card sector, has shed light on an intriguing issue within the community of trading card enthusiasts. The survey, which focused on users of their website, "Card Lottery Summary Tregato," revealed that a staggering 61% of participants are unaware of how many times they have entered card lotteries. This raises significant questions about tracking and management practices in a world filled with lottery submissions.

Survey Findings Overview

The survey, conducted through social media platform X, gathered responses from 182 followers of Tregato. Here are some of the key findings:

• - Approximately 36.3% (66 votes) indicated that they have a rough idea of their entries, categorized as "somewhat aware."
• - Conversely, 24.7% (45 votes) admitted they have no awareness whatsoever of their submissions, which combined with the previous group means that 61% of respondents lack precise tracking.
• - Only 30.2% (55 votes) reported using notes or screenshots to manage their entries, while 8.8% (16 votes) claimed to remember everything in their heads.

Contributing Factors to Lack of Awareness

One primary reason for this lack of awareness is the nature of the lotteries themselves; each lottery operates independently with different deadlines depending on the product and store. For example, in a related survey conducted on the lottery for the 30th-anniversary pack of Pokémon cards, 98.3% of lotteries closed before the release date. This disparity complicates the tracking process for applicants juggling various deadlines.

Persistence in Applications

The survey also highlighted a strong trend in the dedication of applicants. When asked about their approach to applying for the same product again after being unsuccessful, 66.9% (166 out of 248 votes) stated they would keep reapplying until they win. This reveals a competitive spirit among trading card fans, with only 8.1% (20 votes) indicating they give up after one try. Furthermore, 36.3% (66 votes) of participants started entering lotteries only in 2026, indicating a simultaneous rise in both new and veteran enthusiasts.

Daily Updates and Easing the Application Process

Given the complexities surrounding entry management, Tregato is dedicated to simplifying the lottery application process. The website curates information not just about Pokémon cards but also other popular card games like One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Dragon Ball, presenting deadlines in an organized manner. Users can easily filter entries by product or store, helping to minimize the hassle of tracking multiple submissions across various platforms.
