There are different collections in the iStripper line up and these have arisen over time

The Collections are identified by the letter prefix A through to I and are as per the attached pic as at 10th January 20020.

This is based on my collection which includes Cards from models who have requested that their card be made no longer available and hence have been removed from the option to buy.

Anastasia Brokelyn Sexy legs

Yes her scars are clearly visible on the clips, but have been massively photoshopped in the photo sets... I remember to have noticed some other models too having scars or other marks, e.g. if you look at the Tifany shows and especially the solo one you will notices ***** on her breasts...

I can only answer based on my experience.

On my laptop the number says 3951 / 4386. The reason is that I now have 435 cards in my collection and, as the store shows only those cards still to be purchased it shows 3951 (4386 - 435 = 2951).

As regsards the different number on the online store - it looks like you cannot buy the original 480p cards on the online site so the difference there (currently it says 4129) are probably those older cards.

Hope thisd helps

For some reason I see several different numbers of cards in the store.

In the application on my desktop it's shown in the top left corner of the store as '3700/4300' (this is just an example, not the exact numbers). Why about 1K or cards are missing? All filters are cleared, all cards should be shown.

At the same time the online store has about 4100 cards.

What do all these numbers mean? Why are they different?

unless I'm planning to buy over a 110 cards within a year

@BillGapes LOL you already have half of that in 4 days 👍

and now I own 8 Tracy Smile cards

good choice 😍🔥

I may be a little out of touch on the pulse because it's winter I figured would be nice but I get your point as best as can be expected,

@BillGapesI have sent you a PM.😉When you Posted this, and now I own 8 Tracy Smile cards, I bought those at full priceI was concerned that you Meant you Paid 25 credits each....But I see that you did get your 20% Gold Level Discount..but I also saw you missed out on a new User promo.So that's what the PM is about.

Ohh that's what I meant yes, so not the best deal but I really like those cards, 20 each now so for each 4 I get 1 extra compared to new user prices. Still some impulse buys though, it will most likely become less when I have the best cards in my wishlist, so keeping 200 creds and hoping for some good deals soon.

I was unable to find this new user promo, are you sure it hasn't ended? I have seen other promos in my activity, but I couldn't find any mail and I have confirmed my account, I thought I might have stupidly missed something but I can honestly not find it.

Welcome to the club @jkhashi ! 😎💜✌

Belka is one of my top favs, love her lots!! Can't wait to see more of her this decade!!

I've also fallen (again) this week for Linda Ellsion. I've had some of her cards since farily early in my days here, but th other day I ran up on some pics of her when I was doing a google on country girl pics. She did some in that category for playboyplus.com and here a couple of them are...She also did some totally nude and some spread shots for Met-Art. Here's one.
Beautiful pics. She's stunning. I'm worried she might be out of the business now though :(

I think you are correct. She did not turn up on a search done on thenude.eu which lists adult models and porn stars world wide. We wish her much happiness and success whereer she is now.

@gkar that mean they do the spray on tans before they show up? If so they an always be told please no spray tans as our furniture is turning orange....because it is

@Chicsans hey doll I just noticed if the banner in the corner is Red it's XXX if its black its regular thank you for making me look for the difference it took me like 5 minutes I hope that helps.

That brought me back to the good old days of photo hunt...

Special event incoming?

Happy New Year devs and users. Starting the year out triple diamond for the first time!

@BillGapes
I have sent you a PM.
😉

When you Posted this,

and now I own 8 Tracy Smile cards, I bought those at full price

I was concerned that you Meant you Paid 25 credits each....
But I see that you did get your 20% Gold Level Discount..

but I also saw you missed out on a new User promo.
So that's what the PM is about.

I am gettting very annoyed with this special event cards. And adding them into the new releases just to troll us makes it even more annoying. How do you even get a Joker Card? its ridiculous.

I agree. Putting them in the new releases is a slap in the face to those of us dedicated to having the complete set for some of the models!😠 It's almost like Totem is sticking their tongue out at us! 😛

Last thing about the VR.
Can we please not have the girls orange? If its spray on tan or whatever please let them be natural from now on.
In Some shows it even rubs off on furnicher in shows its very offputting.

Oh well, I decided to be a bit more poorer so I guess now I gotta hold on to those credits I have left a bit, went for the 500 credits :D

Being 4 cards away from gold made it too tempting, and I shouldn't have been checking out other cards of my favorite girls, I just had to get them, I hadn't heard of Tracy Smile before getting iStripper, and what got me into it was the legalporno girls, but wow what a beautiful woman, same for Anny Aurora, I did the gambling thing again but this time I was less lucky, besides being really lucky during the first draw with 2 Anny Aurora cards.

Edit: and now I own 8 Tracy Smile cards, I bought those at full price, I got the first from the gambling pack I enjoyed it a lot so I wanted more of this girl, there are 8 more and I do want those too, I have the credits left to get those, I just want to keep it above 200 for now and wait for some deals.

I like that the fonts are slightly larger now.
But I don't like the all caps writing.
And maybe you could increase the contrast of the show names. The same color like the background looks cool, but around the text it could be a bit darker like in the edges of the card. I think that color style might also look good on the model's name.

@gkar45 6) April Fool's Day..in January??

Bonjour,

Quel est le but de mettre les 9 cartes spéciales dans onglet promotion + dans nouveautés si ce n'est pour ne pas pouvoir les acheter ?

@TheEmu

It's kind of what I meant yes, I didn't bother to check out if the math is different for each rank, but the lower the card count for it to be worth it, the more worth premium is on its own. I'm sure I'm going to buy those 4 cards and gain a rank, then I will do the math again and see if there is any change worth it. Because I'm sure I'll get 4 cards, but 111+ would just pressure me into buying more for no reason.

@Dorsai6

...It always pays to consider the math...

Yes it certainly does :), and like I said, I don't have a lot of money so I have to do the math, it helps that I like doing the math seeing how it can pay off.

@Chicsans...Hold off on that holiday...Please. We need a little sanity around here lol

@BillGapes

But wtf am I talking about, I'm not here to do math lol.

It always pays to consider the math. I buy about 250 cards a year. At my level and because I only buy credits when a discount is offered, each card costs about $1. That's the price of candy bar, but $250 a year is a meaningful expense. By comparison I spend about $450/year on other porn sites like MetArt and Watch4Beauty, so iStripper is my biggest single expense for recorded porn.

re: 4K

I have a 40" 4K display. I've discovered tht a 4K card looks a lot better on that display than a 3K card. The 20% discount saves me about $50 so I'm paying about $10 per year to get higher quality cards. For me that's a good deal.

Since I already own all the older cards I like, my current buying strategy is to buy new cards that I like as soon as they come out. If I see an older card I like on preview with a flash sale discount of 20% (rarely happens), I'll buy it. If I decide I'd like some other older card (typically a new model whose first cards I passed on), I wishlist it and wait for a 4 cards with refund sale.

I only by credits when there is a recharge bonus. When a bonus comes along, I recharge to 1500 credits or more which is enough to last me 6 month or tilll the next bonus.

WTF is going on. First cards in the website store are SEC. Why, just to piss people off.

And WTF is with the new card images? It used to be easy to avoid the XXX cards when they had a different coloured banner. Now all cards have the same banner. The little stars on XXX cards are really hard to see on a small screen.

I think I'll take another holiday now, just because of this latest round of BS

I am gettting very annoyed with this special event cards. And adding them into the new releases just to troll us makes it even more annoying. How do you even get a Joker Card? its ridiculous.

They can only be played if they are in your collection. Previews can't be downloaded. It's almost as if Totem are trolling us...

Maybe they will be releasing a new gambling game tomorrow?

Ya, that's what I thought, not impressed with them putting them in my "new release" cards just as a reminder that there is no way I can aquire them

is there a way to aquire them now?

@gkar45 - That is exactly what I thought he was saying. The answer being that he probably should not bother with premium membership at the moment.

@BillGapes - any calculations you make about the ecconomics of becoming a Premium member based on what you currently pay will soon become obsolete because you are only a few cards off becoming a Gold member and this will lower the prices you pay for cards. From the User Manual

You benefit from credits discounts based on your member level

Bronze members (1-9 full nude shows in your collection) get a regular price.
Silver members (10-39 full nude shows in your collection) get -10% on all shows .
Gold Members (40-99 full nude shows in your collection) get -20% on all shows.
Platinum Members (100-299 full nude shows in your collection) get -30% on all shows.
Diamond Members (300-749 full nude shows in your collection) get-35% on all shows.
Double Diamond Members (750-1499 full nude shows in your collection) get -40% on all shows.
Triple Diamond Members (more than 1500 full nude shows in your collection) get -45% on all shows.

In general becoming a Premium member does not pay off unless you plan to buy a lot of cards each year (and the higher your membership level the greater that number of cards has to be) or unless you want access to the 4k resolution. Totem could, of course, choose to provide the occasional extra benefit to Premium members (in order to encourage more customers to become Premium members) but there is no reason to think that they are planning to do so at the moment.

@Dorsai6

Thank you for taking the time to write all that out, looks like some valuable information for any new user.

I just started with the cards I'm most interested in, but I'm also interested in discounted cards if they look nice :)
I've also been pretty much just browsing and wishlisting, makes it easier to plan out buying something.

If you're getting a good deal is pretty easy to calculate though, whatever you are paying for the cards now, subtract the amount you save (for me it's 22,5 a card, 20% would mean 18 for each card, meaning I'd safe 4,5 on every purchase)
If I were to buy 2x250 credits that would cost me 60 euro, so at that rate 500 credits is around 60 euro, so that means for me a premium membership should be worth as much as 500 credits. premium costs 60 a year, meaning you'd have to buy a 100 cards to reach 450 in savings, 110 for 495, so it takes 112 cards for me to get my money worth out of a premium membership.

But wtf am I talking about, I'm not here to do math lol.

Bank statement will show "TotemCore" or a phone number, depending on the biller used :)
Discreet billing guaranteed :)

Cumming right into someone's heart you say? Hmmm... sounds fatal! 😆💔

I too! 😉

I've discovered the "progressive" option. That's pretty clever. I approve.

Found her! It was Taylor Shay.

Today, Milena came right in my heart 💖💖 🔥🔥

@stefnev1 ... she got me considerably lower 🔥😈

Do not forget however the people who just like to play

Of course! If you find the games fun, then play them for the fun. 😉

I must admit that I don't follow the strategy I described. Before the Premium option came out, I purchased my most favorite cards immediatly and wishlisted the rest. Now with Premium I simply purchase all desireable cards as they come out with the 20% discount. Since I buy about 70% of all new cards and I have a 40" 4K display, I think I'm getting a good deal.

@Dorsai6
You have just presented the perfet istripper strategy, I fully agree.
Do not forget however the people who just like to play, and spend a lot having fun purchasing their collection in far less effective ways, including various games.

Happy new year 2020 😘dear UwU's

I'll reinforce what others have said. Mainly, be patient. The cards will be there next week and next year*.

1. Set yourself a budget and live within it. Buy $50 worth of credits when you can afford it. If you are patient, you will be able to take advantage of recharge bonus that will get you 600 credits for $50. These bonuses come by 4-5 times each year.

2. Enjoy the previews and use the wishlist to mark cards you plan to buy.

3. The best deal around is the 4th card refund offer. You buy 4 cards and get a refund for the 4th. That's at least a 25% saving. However, if you buy 3 lower quality cards and then a 3K card you percent saving will be greater. The deal comes around 4-5 times a year.

4. Never buy cards at full price. If you are patient you can get them cheeper via a special offer.

5. Don't buy cards you won't play. Play a 720p card or demo on your computer and compare its quality to a 1080p and to a 3K. I've found that 1080p and 3K are acceptable on my computer. However, some of my favorite models are only available in 720p. For them, I occasionally reset my scale and play only 720p cards for a few days. The same is true of the "classic" 480p cards, but more so. Buying a low resolution card you won't play just to get to the next higher discount level is not a good deal.

The best overall strategy is:

1. Wishlist the cards you plan to buy from previews or based cards you already own.

2 When a recharge bonus comes along buy as many credits as you can afford. If you can't afford at least $50, wait till the next recharge bonus.

3 Don't spend anything until the 4th card refund offer comes along. When it does, spend all your credits on sets of 4 cards. For each set, buy the 3 cheepest cards from your wishlist and then for the 4th buy the most expensive. Repeat until you are out of credit, but plan ahead to ensure you have enough credits to buy a set of 4 cards.

4. Now wait for the next recharge bonus and repeat.


Some of the TGIF specials are good deals for buying cards at a low price, but most don't give you a choice of which cards you get. With a small collection the chance of discovering a gem you wouldn't otherwise buy is worth the risk of getting a card you don't want if the price is right. With a large collection the possible reward is less because you probably already own the cards you like.

• Some cards do not stay in the store forever. In, I think, 6 cases in the past 10 years a model has demanded that her cards be removed. The first time this happened Totem when to court and lost. Now they simply comply with the request. Sometimes Totem will give advanced notice if this is about to happen. Sometimes they can't. So there is a small chance that a card you plan to buy will disappear. This is a very small risk. If you already own such a card, you can keep it and continue to play it.

Today, Milena came right in my heart 💖💖 🔥🔥

Ok, thanks everyone for all of the information, I might like some of the classic ones I don't mind lower quality if the content is good.

I do remember downloading a virtual girl type desktop thing back in the early 2000s when I was way too young for something like that, I had all kinds of stuff like bonzi buddy and other spyware garbage so that's how it ended up on my computer, my parents didn't like it, I don't know about the evolution behind all of this, but by the looks of it all of these desktop strippers are now all 1 single app.

So yeah, if there are some great 2000s pornstars I'm certainly interested.

I read you get access to a classic collection at 100 cards, what does this mean?

These are very Old Classics intended for the Nostalgic Collector.
They are Lower Quality Remastered from old 240p digital tapes, upscaled to 480p

But if a member is looking to Level up to get better Discounts on the Premium cards.
then this is a cost effective way to reach the Higher levels.

For us Nostalgic collectors like myself, I enjoy them, even with the lower Quality.
And they Have as a bonus, Great Photo Sets, and often a bonus video.

Each Classic is made up from a set of 4 to 5 outfits in the same classic card.
a few clips from each outfit.

The Photo Sets are made up from all the different outfits.

@BillGapes

The classic collection are most of the original 'Virtuagirl' cards done in 420p on magnetic tape.

They don't look very crisp on newer equipment for the most part and are really only offered for collectors who just 'want it all'.

They can be played in the 'full screen' mode using both Totem's and many other user's self created 'scenes' and done this way through your machines GPU they look somewhat better than if played in 'small size' directly on your desktop.

They do have another redeeming value in that they are significantly less expensive to buy and if you get them all it will move you towards your first diamond rather quickly. But this is really only a good idea if you know that you plan to get all the cards from the start since they really are not the best quality compared to more recent cards.
