Collect every grade of the same card print
To complete Obsessed With Grades, collect the exact same card print at every grade from 1 through 10. Players who have unlocked or investigated the achievement report that the Tetramon identity, collection, border or edition, and Foil status must all match.
Choose a cheap print with plenty of duplicates
Steam describes the achievement as collecting a set of cards from grade 1 to 10. The matching-print requirement means that sharing a Tetramon name is not enough if the collection, border, edition, or foil finish differs. Ten unrelated cards with different grades do not satisfy the requirement reported by players.
Player guides recommend choosing a low-cost print with many duplicates and using The Cardinal's Grading service repeatedly. Keep a copy of each grade you still need as the cards come back. Protect those completed grades from sale or accidental resubmission while you work on the remaining gaps.
Set a spending limit from cash you can spare after normal shop needs. Keep your shop budget separate from the money you are willing to put into this achievement chase. If another grading order would leave you short, pause the chase and return when the shop can comfortably support it.
Build the matching set through repeated grading
- Select an affordable print with plenty of duplicate copies, giving every submission the same collection, border or edition, and foil finish as your target set.
- Check that print in the Graded album to see which grades from 1 through 10 you still need.
- Submit spare copies through The Cardinal's Grading service; it supports eight cards per order and up to four concurrent orders.
- Inspect each returned grading delivery against your missing grades so you can identify which results add to the matching set.
- Retain a copy of every newly acquired grade so later submissions do not undo the collection you have already assembled.
- Regrade spare low-grade duplicates when pursuing the difficult grades 1–3, following the approach recommended by player guides.
- Repeat affordable submissions of the same print until your album contains every grade from 1 through 10.
Use spare duplicates without risking completed grades
The low grades deserve particular care: player guides identify grades 1–3 as difficult to obtain and suggest regrading some low-grade duplicates to pursue them. Keep the copy that fills an existing gap and use a spare for that approach. Treat the recommendation as a way to pursue the missing results, rather than a promise of a particular grade.
Use the service's order capacity as a limit, rather than a spending target. Before another submission, compare the grades you still need with the duplicates you can afford to commit. Prefer a smaller, manageable chase to spending money you need to keep the shop running.
Check the album when the achievement stays locked
Inspect the Graded album and verify that grades 1 through 10 belong to the identical print. Check that the set is not split across Base and Destiny, different borders, or different foil finishes. A missing grade or mismatched print means you still have a collection gap to resolve before trying an achievement workaround.
If the full matching set is complete and some cards are on display, return the set to the album. Multiple Steam users report that receiving or opening another grading delivery afterward can trigger the missing unlock. This is a community-reported workaround, with no official guarantee that it resolves every achievement-tracking issue.
