Jackson
Chapter 2 – Waking Up (2 Trading Cards)
After you have left your house you will begin to follow Jesse. Once you reach the square where you can pet a dog, turn around to find a blue building behind you. Walk to the left side of it to find the Seismicalya Trading Card on the billboard.
The next Trading Card can be found inside the Tipsy Bison bar. After Ellie has talked with Seth, walk to the right of the bar to find the Trading Card collectible for The Keene Twins sitting on a barrel next to the dartboard.
Chapter 4 – Patrol (2 Trading Cards)
The next trading cards can be found in the Patrol chapter, where you and Dina go out searching for infected to kill. Progress through the mission normally until Ellie and Dina get on their horses for the second time. As you are riding, Dina will point out some empty houses to search along the main road.
Once arriving at this location, get off your horse and head inside the house on the right. Climb onto the small porch roof and up into the second-floor window. Sitting at the back of the closet is the Trading Card for the Tesseractor.
Continue all the way through the mission until you reach the library. After breaking the window and progressing into the children’s area, look to your left to find a small storage room in the corner. Head inside to find the Laurent Foucalt, CEO SPARK Trading Card on the upside-down table.
Seattle Day 1
Chapter 8 – The Gate (4 Trading Cards)
This chapter takes place from when Ellie and Dina set off to Seattle together. The area starts off as a wide, open overgrown area, but eventually, you will be funnelled to the highway into Seattle. Along the way to the highway, you will come across a bus stop. Inside the bus stop, in the holder for flyers, you can find the Trading Card for the Motivator.
Whilst riding down the overgrown motorway, you will come across an abandoned trailer on the left. The Starfire Kids’ Trading Card is sitting inside the trailer, on the pinboard.
The third trading card in this chapter can be found once Ellie has climbed up the checkpoint gate and made it to the balcony on the other side. Head into the tower at the end and take the ladder immediately on your left leading up. The Chessmaster Trading Card is on a table at the top.
After making your way to the bottom of the tower, you will need to break a window and go through the trailer to the other side of this area. On the other side is a generator which can be used to open the door. Before you do that, grab the plug and aim it over the trailer, so it ideally lands on the other side, just to the left of the metal gate.
You will need to throw it over the small section of the trailer closest to the locked metal gate. The picture below should help.
Once you have successfully thrown it over, go back through the trailer and you can now use the plug to climb up the trailer and onto it. Sitting on the roof is the Trading Card for Oozer.
Chapter 9 – Downtown Seattle (5 Trading Cards)
Downtown Seattle is the largest area in the game and there are around a dozen locations to explore. Luckily, Ellie has a very handy map, which will help keep track of locations and where you should go.
The first trading card can be found in a destroyed building, which is the first block between Marion Street and Colombia Street, along 6th Avenue.
Climb up the staircase and break the windows on the first level to reach the small overhang you can walk on. Walk along that overhang to the right and jump over the gap. At the end, do a U-turn and head up the slope to find the Trading Card for Doctor Uckmann in the crate on the left. This character is modelled off of Neil Druckmann, the game’s Creative Director and his name is even the same, Dr. Uckmann.
The second trading card can be found just next to the previous one, in the Valiant Music Shop, between Madison Street and Marion Street, along 5th Avenue. Head behind the counter on the lower floor and open the drawer on the right. Inside you will find the Das Wort Trading Card.
Next, head to the Northernmost block on the right of 5th Avenue. Break the windows to enter the Ruston Coffee Shop. In the back corner of this room, in a drawer underneath the cooking equipment, you can find the Big Blue Trading Card.
The fourth card can be found in West 2 Gate, which is located in-between 5th and 4th Avenue, along Madison Street. Squeeze yourself through the gap and look to your right to find a safe. Open it with the code ’04-51′ to find the Trading Card for Flo waiting to be picked up inside.
The final trading card in this level comes at the very end of this section of the game, once you reach the Serevena Hotel. Kill all the infected and head up the stairs. Go through the bedroom directly at the top of the stairs and follow it through to the connecting blue-walled bedroom. In the nightstand between the two beds on the right, you can pick-up the final Trading Card, which is for Know It All.
Chapter 10 – Eastbrook Elementary (1 Trading Card)
This trading card is found right at the end of the level after you have jumped into the apartment from the school roof. Along the right side of the room, you can hop over a bed and enter the bedroom on the right. Open the bedside table drawer to find the Cardio Trading Card.

The first Trading Card can be found in the first block of houses you come across. After jumping down from the apartment, look to your right and head down the alley.

The second card is found at the motel. Head inside the first open room on the left and jump through the window at the back. Look to your left to find another window. Jump through that window to find the Trading Card for Rockafella on the bedroom floor, next to the tipped-over trash can.
The third trading card is found at the gas station further into the level. Opposite the station, you will see a backdoor with a brown wall. Open the door and kill the infected inside. Head all the way to the back of the corridor to find the Doctor Stem Trading Card sitting next to the record player on the chest.
The next trading card can be found in the lower area, near the market with Infected and the checkpoint where WLF soldiers are patrolling. Make your way into the market and to the back rooms. In the left locker, you can find the Trading Card for Sergeant Frost.
The fifth card is a lot further on. After you see a clicker walk into an explosive trap, head into the liquor shop on the left. In the back left corner, on the shelf next to the ATM, you can find the Trading Card for Candelabra.
The final trading card in the level can be found after you come across the explosive traps and reach the small street with a few shops. Once here, head into the store on the left and look at the bookshelf on the left of the room. The second bookshelf will have the Bizarrebra Trading Card.
Chapter 12 – Channel 13 (1 Trading Card)
The only trading card in this level is quite a bit of the way into the game. After you have gone through the first section and climbed up you will need to walk along a small ledge, by some glass windows. As you enter the room, head into the lobby and continue into the room in the back right corner. On the desk, you can find the Trading Card for Kimimela.
Chapter 13 – The Tunnels (3 Trading Cards)
The first trading card is found after the first encounter with WLF forces and Infected. After the room with red flares and passing through the train carriages, you will crawl under a train car and emerge into a tunnel. Don’t go through the exit on the right. Instead, continue down the tunnel and look underneath the train carriage, next to some bags, to find the Trading Card for The Imp.

At the very end of the chapter, you will enter a metro station. Eventually, you will come across a red vending machine on its side. Before climbing up it, look to the left and crawl underneath the train carriage. Inside, on some luggage, you can find the Bastet Trading Card.
Chapter 14 – The Theater (2 Trading Cards)
At the entrance of the theater, jump over the counter on the bottom floor and smash the glass of the cabinets in the back. In the right cabinet, you can find the Mortem Trading Card.

The next trading card is found after Ellie spots the truck driving away on the street ahead. After jumping down immediately turn to you left and walk to the gap in the bushes. Follow the path down and use the dumpster to climb up to the shop. Break the glass and look in the boxes at the back of the shop, behind the cash register counter, to find the Sahir the Sorcerer Trading Card.

The fourth trading card is found once Ellie spots some black smoke in the distance. To progress, you will need to climb over a fence into the back garden of a house. Round the back of the children’s playhouse in this back garden, you can find the Trading Card for Brainstorm.
The final trading card here comes after you have picked up the bow from the Stalker Infected. The next area has a lot of human enemies. But once they are all down, you want to head into the house at the end of the main road, with the stairs leading up to the balcony. Head into the room at the top and go to the second bedroom (which has white bed sheets with a branch and leaves on them). Go prone and crawl underneath the bed to find the Reverb Trading Card.
Chapter 17 – Finding Strings (1 Trading Card)
SPOILER WARNING
Spoiler warning for this section of the game. Do not read on until you have finished the introductory cutscene which happens after the screen cuts to black.
After you set off with Joel, you will come to a blockade to climb over. The blockade has the company name “U-Move” on it and it is red and white. Climb over that blockade and look at the car at the bottom of the slope. Go around to the back right seat to find the Trading Card for The Austinger.
Chapter 18 – The Seraphites (6 Trading Cards)
After beginning the chapter and going through the revolving door, enter the first shop which is the Quickmarket. Along the right side of the shop is a set of shelving. Sitting on the final shelf, the one closest to the checkouts, is the Randy Styles Trading Card.
Once you come out onto the first large street section, head to the right corner of the street and go inside the Conference Center. Head into the elevator shaft at the back of the room and climb the ladder to the upper floor. Head to the box where the rope starts and break the glass to your left. Throw the rope over the metal beams so it gets caught on the corner. Jump to that rope and then to the balcony leading to the other room, which is blocked from the side you were just on. The Trading Card for Shift is sitting on the couch at the back.
A little bit further on you will pass through an underpass and find some white apartments on the left. Use the truck in front of them to climb up to the second floor and jump to the balcony that connects to the window. Smash the glass, enter, and head to the bedroom at the back. Inside the bedside drawer, you can find the Star Sign Trading Card.
Later in the level, Ellie will climb up a wall and spot the hospital in the distance. To your right is the Seattle Conference Center. Jump down to the bottom floor using the scaffolding and smash the glass of the window to the locked room beneath the scaffolding. Look inside the drawer of the far-right desk to find the Trading Card for Arch-Enemy.
After your first encounter with the Seraphites (Scars) you will enter the Garden Suites 113 building. Head upstairs and loop around the upper floor until you find the Trading Card for Doppelganger sat on the floor by the small stand.
The final Trading Card is much later, after you fight the miniboss with the pickaxe. After going down a ladder and dropping into water Ellie will come back up to land. In the distance, you can see Weston’s Pharmacy. Follow the path up to it to find the Trading Card for Bhat M’Andarr sitting on the shelf, immediately on your left next to the yellow machine.

The third trading card is in the dark bookstore you and Jesse drop into. Look to the left of the escalator to find a large slab being held up by bookshelves. Crouch underneath the slab to find the Tanager Trading Card on one of the shelves along the right side.
Much later into the level you and Jesse will walk across a sky bridge and drop down to the lower level of a building. Next to the double doors in the first room you drop down into there is a table. Hop over that table and turn around to find the Tatuaje Trading Card.

Much later into the level you will reach an arcade, where you will need to get out. Naturally, you will use the cart to jump up to the window on the top floor.
