BLACK CAT Founding States
BorninPerth.BackedacrossAustralia.
BLACK CAT might start on the west coast, but we're building this for Australia's TCG community. We're looking for players, collectors, sellers and stores in every state and territory to help take BLACK CAT beyond WA.
Hover or tap a state to see its founding positions.
WatchaPerthbrandspread.
The story starts with one pulse over Perth. Every founder and every store adds another point on the map — and the map is the point. This isn't only about funding a first production run, it's about watching a new Australian TCG brand travel.
- 01Perth started it.
- 02WA backed it.
- 03Australia took it further.
The map animation is storytelling only — it doesn't imply a required order for states to join. No live campaign data yet — every state counter stays at zero until real founders and stores exist.

Founding State Member
Eligible Founding Campaign supporters outside WA
Permanent recognition of the state or territory you helped BLACK CAT reach, on top of your normal campaign tier and VIP level.
Home State Founder
Eligible Western Australian supporters
WA is the original home community. Home State Founder recognition marks the people who backed BLACK CAT where it started.
Original 100 — [State]
The first 100 eligible supporters in each state or territory
Permanent Original 100 status, an Original 100 mark on the future digital Founder profile, and a variant of the Founding State collectible. No extra discount — this is about history, not money.
Founding State Stockist
Approved Gold-qualifying interstate retailers
Added on top of Gold VIP and permanent Founding Stockist status for the stores that help BLACK CAT reach a new state.
Original 10 Stockist — [State]
The first 10 approved Founding Stockists in each state or territory
Permanent Original 10 recognition across the stockist profile, directory listing, map, founder certificate and digital badge — with potential in-store display material.
Founding State recognition is additive. It never replaces a tier, VIP level, Founding Seller, Founding Stockist or Founding Nine position.

Howearlywereyou?
Supporting BLACK CAT from interstate doesn't just make you a Founder. It records where you helped take the brand.
Optional state-specific founder numbers are being prepared alongside overall founder numbers. Being TAS-0007 or NT-0002 could end up genuinely special.
Number allocation, eligibility and format are TBC. State recognition uses the state attached to your campaign order — never a precise address.

WAisstillhome
Western Australian supporters are the original home community. WA founders carry BLACK CAT Home State Founder recognition, WA stores can become Home State Founding Stockists, and WA has its own Original 100 and Original 10 positions.
Interstate supporters carry BLACK CAT Founding State Member recognition instead. Same program, different line on the card.
