What is Journey, and what do the medals mean?

Journey is its own tab, at /journey; Profile shows your rank and links to it. It groups everything your collecting can earn into pages — collection size, breadth across sets, depth into one, coming back to add more, master sets finished, Japanese collecting, grading, and a few one-off firsts — each pocket a bronze, silver, gold or platinum badge for what you did.

A few, in blue, are landmarks rather than badges — your collection passing a value like £1,000. Those are honest about what they are: news your collection arrived at, not something you did, so they're not graded the same way an achievement is, and never carry a rarity percentage.

Earned badges also show how rare they are — 'X% of collectors have this' — measured across every collector with at least 10 cards, refreshed hourly. It only appears once enough collectors exist for a percentage to mean something.

A handful of medals are secret — they show as '???' until you earn them, with only their rarity and an occasional one-line clue visible beforehand. New medal families arrive from time to time too, with no time limit to earn them — you'll get a one-off "New in Journey" note the first time you open the app after one lands.

Every unlock is celebrated the moment it happens, sized to how big a deal it is: a small badge is a quick toast that clears itself in a few seconds, while a rarer one or a rank-up gets the fuller treatment. Nothing celebrates while you're mid-scan or partway through a dialog — it waits for a moment that won't get in the way, and nothing you earn is ever lost, only delayed.

  1. Tap Journey in the navigation — your finest medals, what you earned recently, what's nearly there, every family in its own drawer, and the rank ladder.
  2. Tap any badge, earned or locked, to see what earned it, how rare it is, and the next one in its family.
  3. Profile → Settings → Celebrations: Full gives the full treatment and the little progress notes ('6 cards to go'); Quiet keeps everything to small toasts, with no progress notes.
