What the trade scoreboard is

Golden pairs and the trade scoreboard show up at the best part of collecting: when you sit down with a friend to swap World Cup 2026 stickers. You open a trade session, scan their QR code, and Onzi cross-references both collections on the spot, right there in person, with no internet. The result is the trade scoreboard: a side-by-side summary of what each of you can offer the other.

The idea is simple. On one side are your duplicates that are missing from their album. On the other are their duplicates that are missing from yours. The scoreboard pulls it all together so you can glance, decide, and trade without flipping through every sticker by hand.

What you give and what you get

The scoreboard splits the swap into two clear columns, so there's never any confusion about who hands over what:

  • You give: your duplicates they don't have yet — candidates to leave your doubles pile.
  • You get: their duplicates you're still missing — candidates to land in your album.
  • Everything is grouped by national team, so it's easy to chase whoever you want to finish first.

Why every trade is 1 for 1

Onzi is built around a fair swap: every sticker you give is worth one you get back. That's the classic 1:1. Nobody walks away short, and the conversation stays easy, because the value lives in the sticker itself, not in some complicated tally.

In practice, the scoreboard helps you even things out. If one side has more options than the other, you both pick which stickers go in until the two columns match. The final deal is always yours to agree on — the app just makes the possibilities easy to see.

Golden pairs: the perfect trade

Golden pairs are the dream scenario. They happen when you have a duplicate your friend is missing and, at the same time, they have a duplicate you're missing. Both sides win: each of you turns a spare into the exact sticker you were chasing.

The scoreboard flags these so you don't miss the chance. Once you see it, work through it in this order:

  • Start with the golden pairs: these are the swaps where both of you genuinely come out ahead.
  • Double-check the team and number before you confirm, so you know it's the right sticker.
  • With the golden pairs done, use the rest of the scoreboard to sort out any other trades that make sense.
