Information

Team Fortress 2 Trading Cards were designed by the art team and were originally intended to be distributed at cyber cafes as a promotion, but this fell through, after many years, Valve have finally pushed them into mass production, and they are being sold at the Valve Store. As an added bonus, each of the character cards has a revealing biography about that character. There are 9 character cards (one for each character), 6 level cards, 3 weapon cards, and 1 Team Fortress 2 card, although there are only 19 in the entire sold set. Some cards were released by Valve directly on their TF2 Blog, but there are other cards that remain. Those remaining cards have been scanned manually.

The character cards were also Merchandise available with the RED and BLU fan kits directly from the Valve store. Along with other assorted items, the fan kits come with two packs of TF2 Trading Cards, each containing five random cards. Trading cards are now available seperately, from the Valve store, here

Trivia

Trading card packaging
  • Despite the fact these cards list a class' prospective biography, some of these have been altered by Valve to fit with the stories complimenting their updates or any other information they have given. 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 lived in an orphanage from then on. However, in the amended version released after to 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 his original trading card one. This is mostly because the trading cards were created much earlier in TF2's life, prior to any of the class updates at all, in fact.
