You will never receive duplicate cards. You will randomly receive cards you don't presently own. The best deal is the 4 cards per day subscription for $34.95 per month. Happy collecting!

You will not receive duplicate cards on subscription.

There some booster packs where this could happen, I think this is just the best of the month boosters where this occurs. So long as you make sure before you purchase this should not be a problem.

Welcome to the forums.

One more thing about the booster packs. You are never supposed to receive duplicate cards with them either, because they are also custom-designed for each customer to include only cards you don't already have. In my early days, I bought plenty of booster packs, and there was never a duplicate card in any of them. Anyone who receives a duplicate card in a booster pack can contact customer service, and they will make it right for you.

One nice advantage to the booster packs is that if you look closely, you can see before your purchase exactly which 10 cards you will receive, so you do know for sure in advance what you're buying. I don't know how often the packs are shuffled and re-dealt, but if you were to buy a card individually, it would no longer be displayed in any booster pack offered to you.

Thanks, CV, I stand corrected (again!). I have not bought a booster pack for a few years, and I was not aware of the special "Best of the month" packs (not presently offered to me) which apparently do carry a warning about duplication.

The Best of the Month Packs are a Set of 10 specifically Selected Cards.

UnLike the Normal Booster packs which are Unique to each member and Made up of Cards you Don't already have.

If you Buy a Best of the Month pack, you Won't get a Duplicate Card,
Your collection won't show 2 of the same card..
but it will warn you if you Already Own a card that's included in the pack.

So If you already own one of the cards, you get a warning, and instead of 10 cards, you would only get 9. The price is the same regardless.. no refund or discount because you already have one of the cards.

Why?
Because the Best of the Month packs are the 10 best Selling cards, not selected randomly. It's a FIXED set of 10 cards..

Normal Booster packs are now being Shuffled on a regular Basis.
Army for example..
If there are NOT enough cards to give you 10 ARMY cards, then that Booster pack will not be on your list..
Example:
If there are 30 Army cards that you Don't own, then the Army booster pack will be a random set of 10, from the 30 you don't own.
If you Purchase it, then the next pack would be a random set of 10 from the 20 you don't own..

If you Don't purchase it, and then Look at it the next day, it will be a different Random set, as it has been shuffled.

Booster packs are now being Shuffled every 24 hours.

@WA,

Just curious... Are the Best of the Month Packs only for VGHD, or are they also available in DeskBabes? Since I don't see them in my own personal booster pack lists, I was wondering if I was looking in the wrong place.


Sorry this thread has wandered far from its original topic of "Subscription," but the original poster's question about that was answered long ago.

The Best of the Month Packs are NOT found under the Booster packs of the GUI or the Web Site.
They are Specials.
Announced on the HOME page of the web, and on the NEWS in the GUI.

But they can be found in the Forum Posts:

Hi it's me again, sorry to be a *****, was going to subscribe then a couple of questions came into my head.

If if go for the highest monthly subscription package, do I receive the highest rated cards or lowest or what is the average rated cards I receive ?

And is it easy to cancel subscriptions at a later date, I have had a look at the Epoch site but it appears to not be very clear the process to me? I was thinking of taking the direct debit so I could cancel via my bank account?


Once again Many Thanks In Advance.

The cards you receive are random so it does not matter the rating of the card it just adds a card or up to four cards that are not in your collection.

As for cancelling a subscription this is just a case of clicking on cancel subscription.

...and the "Cancel Subscription" button is on the "My Account" page.

It's better to cancel your subscription here rather than to go to your bank and somehow "stop payment" on the payment process.

Getting back to the "Best of the Month" Booster Packs:

I followed Wyldanimal's directions and found the most recent "Best of the Month" announcements for both VGHD and DeskBabes. (I knew I had seen them somewhere.) VGHD announced these 18 days and 52 days ago, while DB had them 7 and 35 days ago. None of these happened to interest me, but if an old one did interest me, I wonder how long an old Best of the Month booster pack remains available to buy.

Since these are a form of booster packs, I also wonder why they are not displayed in the "Booster Pack" tab of the VirtuaGirls Store (or DeskBabes Store) page?

One thing I did NOT see was any warning that if the purchaser already owned one or more of the cards he would not receive as many as 10 cards in that Best of the Month pack. Maybe that warning only appears after one gets closer to making a final purchase.

"One thing I did NOT see was any warning that if the purchaser already owned one or more of the cards he would not receive as many as 10 cards in that Best of the Month pack."

I don't know how you could miss it!, it is the first thing that is displayed!
Did you even click on the Booster Pack Buy Button?

So why post misleading information about something you haven't even done yourself?
Now go click on one of the buttons and tell me what you saw.
Go on, go click on that button...

The warning message is the First Thing you see when you go to Buy one of the Packs.
It's to let you know
"Hey you already have some of these cards, do you still want to buy this Pack?"

@WA,

You may have missed my final sentence, "Maybe that warning only appears after one gets closer to making a final purchase," but since I was not making a purchase, I didn't get that far. Looks like we're both correct.

Following your scientific method (i.e. Try it for yourself, and then you'll know), I will also experiment to see if old Best of the Month packs can still be purchased. I apologize for posting before fully researching the question. Thank you again for the education. (The only thing I like more than being right is learning something new.)
