The Scout

The Team Fortress 2 trading cards were designed by the TF2 art team, and were originally intended to be distributed at cyber cafès as part of a promotion. However, the promotion never went ahead, and Valve began to produce and sell the trading cards through the Valve Store. As an added bonus, each of the class cards provides a revealing biography about that class. There are nine class cards (one for each class), six level cards, three weapon cards, and one Team Fortress 2 card. Some cards were released by Valve directly on the official TF2 Blog, while other cards were not officially released and were instead scanned manually by the community.

The class cards were also merchandise available with the RED and BLU fan kits which were available directly from the Valve store. Along with other assorted items, the fan kits came with two packs of TF2 trading cards, each containing five random cards. Trading cards are now available separately (1 pack for US$1) from the Valve Store.

  • Despite the fact that these cards list a prospective biography for each class, some of the biographies have been altered by Valve in order to more effectively complement the new content that they have released during updates, as well as other forms of published information.
    • The most notable example of this would be the Demoman's biography, which originally said that his parents both died when he was six and that he lived in an orphanage after their deaths. However, in the amended version released after the WAR! Update, his real parents took him in and taught him to be a proper Demoman, hence the existence of Mrs. DeGroot, his mother.
    • Other such liberties were taken with the Spy's biography released with Meet the Spy, which is far different from the original trading card version. This is mostly because the trading cards were created much earlier in TF2's life, prior to any of the class updates.
