Flesh and Blood API
Premium competitive TCG — Cold Foils, $100k tournaments, stable market
Flesh and Blood is a competitively-focused trading card game launched in 2019 by Legend Story Studios, a New Zealand-based publisher. From the outset, FAB differentiated itself through premium physical card quality, significant organized play investment, and a deliberate approach to print-run management. The result is a secondary market that is less volatile than Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh! but maintains strong price floors, particularly for Cold Foil and Marvel rarity cards.
Legend Story Studios runs tournament circuits with prize pools exceeding $100,000, elevating FAB competitive play to a professional level uncommon outside of Magic. This tournament structure directly affects card prices: heroes that excel in the constructed format (Classic Constructed) see their core cards spike when they dominate a major event. The Calling, Nationals, and World Championship results are primary price catalysts.
The most important pricing distinction in FAB is between Alpha and Unlimited print runs. Alpha cards — from the limited initial print of Welcome to Rathe and Arcane Rising — command 2–10x premiums over their Unlimited equivalents. Cold Foil versions add another multiplier. A Cold Foil Alpha copy of a premium FAB card can be worth 20–50x the Unlimited non-foil equivalent of the same card. Tracking these distinctions is essential for any serious FAB collection tool.
What the API Provides for Flesh and Blood
Cold Foil Premium Tracking
Cold Foil and Marvel variants are indexed as separate records. Track the Cold Foil multiplier for any card — a key data point unique to FAB's premium foil technology.
Alpha vs Unlimited Pricing
Alpha prints (WTR, ARC) and Unlimited prints are separate records with individual pricing. The Alpha premium is one of FAB's most distinctive market characteristics.
TCGPlayer + eBay Market Prices
Both market sources aggregated continuously. TCGPlayer data covers competitive singles; eBay sold data captures high-value Cold Foil and Alpha card auction benchmarks.
90-Day Price History
Track tournament cycle effects on hero card prices. FAB price history shows clear patterns around major event results and new set releases. Requires Trader plan.
Per-Condition Pricing
Near Mint through Damaged pricing. FAB's competitive community is condition-strict; NM prices are the primary benchmark, but condition data matters for collector-grade Cold Foils.
Hero Set Browsing
Browse cards by set to find all cards for specific FAB heroes. Useful for building complete hero deck pricers and identifying which hero's core cards are rising with tournament results.
High-Value Flesh and Blood Cards
Competitive staples, premium Cold Foil targets, and legendary Alpha prints:
Notable Flesh and Blood Sets
The launch set with extremely limited Alpha print run. Alpha WTR cards carry the largest premium multiplier over Unlimited equivalents. Heart of Fyendal and Bravo's equipment suite from Alpha are the benchmark premium FAB cards.
Monarch introduced Prism (Illusionist) and Lexi (Ranger), two heroes who saw long-term competitive play. Several Monarch Cold Foils are among the most consistent high-value FAB singles.
Introduced Iyslander (Ice), Briar (Earth), and Oldhim (Earth Guardian). Iyslander's long-term competitive relevance makes Tales of Aria cards consistent secondary market performers.
Uprising brought Ninja (Fai) and Illusionist (Dromai) to the forefront. Both heroes had strong competitive runs post-release, driving Uprising singles into the $30–$100+ range for key equipment and action cards.
Introduced Azalea (Ranger) and Victor (Shadow Brute) alongside significant generic action cards. Victor's dominant early competitive performance is visible in price history data as a classic post-release spike pattern.
