- Transfers are only possible between cards of the same grade and type:

 : Gold cards can only transfer to Gold cards.

 : Regular Roster cards can only transfer to Regular Roster cards.

 : Gold-grade cards: All three standard traits required.

- Players in the current lineup cannot be used for transfer.

- If the same traits cannot be transferred, the trait grade will remain the same, but the trait will be randomly selected.
