NDIE Cryptid Anthology pre orders will be launching soon. Built from the ground up as a fully collectible trading card series, Cryptid Anthology brings together some of the world’s most famous cryptids alongside creatures drawn from cryptozoology, legends, folklore, and the unexplained—all reimagined through the modern trading card hobby.
The base set travels across cultures, continents, and centuries of strange encounters. Collectors will find everything from legendary forest-dwelling giants and mysterious winged humanoids to lake monsters, swamp creatures, bizarre unknown animals, and some of the strangest beings ever described in eyewitness accounts and regional folklore. Familiar icons such as Bigfoot, Mothman, the Loch Ness Monster, Chupacabra, the Jersey Devil, Yeti, and Kraken share the checklist with deeper cuts from cryptozoology and folklore around the world. It’s a diverse lineup designed for both longtime cryptid enthusiasts and collectors discovering these stories for the first time.

PARALLEL HUNTING
Cryptid Anthology was designed as a collector-first product, bringing the chase and excitement of contemporary trading cards into a category that rarely receives the full hobby treatment. Collect your favorite creatures across a myriad of colorful parallels, including scarce serial-numbered cards and the ultimate chase: elusive 1-of-1 parallels. Building a rainbow of a favorite cryptid, hunting low-numbered cards, or discovering a one-of-one turns every pack into something different.
INSERT LINEUP
Beyond the base set, collectors can hunt an extensive selection of themed inserts that blend original artwork, graphic design, and storytelling. These subsets explore cryptids from entirely different perspectives, giving familiar creatures new identities and visual treatments while digging deeper into the strange world surrounding them.

RARE AND SUPER SHORT PRINTS
Rare short prints and super short prints are scattered throughout the release, offering some of Cryptid Anthology’s most distinctive artwork and experimental designs. Look for Cryptid Miniverse short prints, elusive SSP insert cards, Photogenic cards that imagine cryptid encounters through photographic evidence, and original hand-drawn sketch cards that make each artist-created piece completely unique. These are the cards built for the hunt—the ones you may hear about long before you ever see one in person.

Each hobby box contains 10 packs with 5 cards per pack, for a total of 50 cards. On average, collectors can expect 4 numbered parallels, 1 Cryptid Miniverse short print, and 1 super short print insert per box, alongside base cards, parallels, inserts, and additional chase possibilities throughout the product.
At its heart, INDIE Cryptid Anthology is a trading card set made for people who love the mystery as much as the chase. It combines the strange history, eyewitness stories, folklore, artwork, and unanswered questions that make cryptids so fascinating with numbered cards, parallels, short prints, sketch cards, and true hobby-style scarcity.
The unknown has always been difficult to find. Now it’s collectible.
