== PRESTIGE:
Ever want to commemorate a milestone accomplishment with something tangible, and trackable?
CLHQ has launched a new line of Geocacher Prestige cards marking accomplishments in popular geocaching statistics like the fizzy grid, jasmer grid, total finds, daily streaks, and many more.

Check out the range of milestones and categories available, and create custom - autographable - and trackable cards to put on display, give away, trade, OR keep ready for play in Cache Hunters! (Just make sure they're signed by the geocacher to unlock their full benefit in game)

Prestige cards add bonus value to finding geocaches (even the celebrations of the sapient alligators from the BAMARAMA set above). The elite high end foil cards even come sealed and double sleeved for added protection, and with a standard bonus variant card for use actively within the game decks.

Cache Line HQ News Releases:

In the summer of major geocaching events, CLHQ has been tracking the waxing and waning of cache line energy across the globe, like the breath of millions of geocachers finding things and enjoying the comaraderie. Occasionally, blips occur where weaknesses in the transdimensional boundary threaten tangible rifts, but the CLHQ Troops are quick to tend to the anomalies.

During the Midwest Geobash event in Ohio there were a handful of rift crossings from a dimension home to Flamingo-Dinosaur hybrids - the Flamingosaur, and CLHQ documented the Pflamingadactyl as a Traveller, along with 7 other known Flamingosaur variant species' DNA. Those cards are all available in the Flamingosaur booster pack.

Six journeys, one destination - and NEW commemorative collectibles
Six beloved travelling adventurers make their way across the land to attend the Fall Fest Mega event, with collectible and customizable cards available to commemorate the adventure, but it is also a bittersweet reunion as the geocaching community mourns.
