FAQ for Topps WWE Slam Last Updated September 29, 2016 5:50 PM PDT

#What is WWE SLAM?

• Slam is an online digital trading card game

#What’s an Online Digital Trading Card Game?

• You buy and trade digital trading cards using digital currency (Coins)

#Can you play for free?

• Yes you can. You will get a daily coin allowance, which will allow you to buy digital trading card packs.

#Can you purchase coins?

• Yes, in fact that’s what the provider Topps would prefer you to do.

#How do I get More Coins?

• You are issued a daily coin allowance, currently 25,000 coins a day, with 50,000 coins given for each 7 days in a row you play. You can also purchase coins in the coin store for varying amounts of real cash. The advantage for spending real money is that you get access to packs of cards that aren’t available to free-to-play players. Though only for 24 hours at a time. You can also purchase short-term coin subscriptions that add to your daily bonus, these are limited time offers.

• You can also obtain free coins by doing TapJoy reward offers such as viewing videos, downloading certain apps, completing offers or surveys. This can be a very viable way of playing the game.

#How do you buy cards?

• In the game cards come in packs usually from 5 to 10 cards in a pack and can be purchase for coins. You can also purchase cards outside of the game on various websites, including eBay. Packs typically cost between 5,000 and 15,000 coins. There are packs that cost 500,000 coins or even 750,000 coins, but those are rarer.

#What types of packs are there?

• There are Base packs, which only contain base cards, insert packs that have a chance for an insert, and guaranteed packs, which guarantee you a certain insert card or cards.

#What’s the base set?

• The base set of WWE Cards is a 188 card set containing Current WWE Performers (Superstars), Past Performers (Legends), and up-and-coming Performers in WWE’s ‘minor league’ NXT (NXT). The base set is issued in multiple variants. EDIT-The Base Set is now 185 cards - Alberto Del Rio, Bubba Ray and Devon Dudley have been sold out and are no longer available

#What’s a Variant?

• The base set is broken up into different variant colors. Each color represents a harder difficulty to obtain and complete the set.

#What are the current Variants? (as of September 29, 2016)

• White is the easiest to obtain, then comes Green, Teal, Orange and Black. These colors are currently always available at any given time. There are additional color variants that are only available for limited times and in different packs or methods of obtaining. They include Red, Fire Red, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Purple, Maroon, and Light Green. EDIT They have added a Bronze and Gold level since the original FAQ.

#How do you get each variant?

• The Red and Dark Blue were ‘Draft” variants issued during the recent RAW/SMACKDOWN LIVE draft in July. Each superstar drafted got a card representing his or her brand, Red for Raw and Dark Blue for Smackdown. They are all sold out. One additional Red card was issued for Bayley when she signed on RAW a couple of weeks ago.

• Fire Red cards are issued typically the day after something exciting happens on RAW. Currently there are three cards, Sasha Banks (Issued the day after she won the WWE Women’s Title from Charlotte), Triple H and Kevin Owens (Issued the day after Triple H helped KO win the Universal Title).

• Light Blue cards are issued typically the day after something exciting happens on SMACKDOWN LIVE. There are currently two Light Blue cards, Dolph Ziggler (Issued the day after he became the #1 contender for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam) and Randy Orton (Issued the day after he RKOed Brock Lesnar on RAW).

• Purple cards are issued in two ways, three at a time in a special less expensive pack where you have a chance to get one of the three cards (typically a 1:15 chance in a 2500 coin pack). OR issued for free when you buy a coin subscription package.

• Maroon cards are obtained from the Card Exchange where you trade in a base Green or Teal card of a given performer for a chance at a Maroon card. There are four current Maroon cards. Each is available for a limited time, and there is no guarantee you will get the upgraded base card.

• Lime Green cards are to be issued through a Topps Official Contest for doing free coin offers in the store.

• Gold are 50cc that are found 1:300 packs in all Marathons,

• The One Bronze (so far) was a one-time freebie for those who had the Sami Zayne NXT Generation insert at a specific time

#What does Sold Out mean?

• Most insert cards and base variants are available in the store for a limited time, and once that time is up they “sell out” and are no longer available for purchase. These cards get a “SOLD OUT” stamp on the front. Once a card is sold out no more specimens of that care are issued.

#What's a Dead Insert or "Junk" Insert?

• The definition of a dead insert is one belonging to a set where the award has passed and been given out. As opposed to a "live" insert where the award is still forthcoming and the set is active. You will find that Live inserts are far far more valuable than dead inserts. A "Junk" insert is one that no one wants or needs and you basically cannot give away. These would be the "free" week 1 inserts (the 7 cards that Topps gave away to EVERYONE during the first week of play), low tier Day 1 cards from older sets, like John Cena Power Red, the first Mick Foley card, Dolph Ziggler Lt Blue Speed, Ortons Family Ties Black, and my two LEAST favorite cards in the game, Kevin Owens White Flight and the Warrior Tribute Day 1 flight. ALL of those cards have over 12K in card count. They're worthless trade wise. In fact I wouldn't even throw them in, you might piss off your trade partner. I know if I see a White Flight Kevin Owens it's an automatic decline and 1-star. Awards can even be a junk insert - the Stone Cold Steve Austin award for the 7 freebie cards previously mentioned, is a Junk Award that no one really wants.

#Can I get physical cards of these?

• Short answer, no. Long answer – well kind of.
• Short answer, no you can’t get physical cards by playing the game. Long answer, there are SOME physical cards that are duplicated in the game. BUT you can’t obtain them by playing the game, you have to purchase them in brick and mortar stores or through the TOPPS website. For example, the living set “TOPPS NOW” is available in both the game and on TOPPS website for physical cards. So far they have only issued 2 sets of 5 cards, but in baseball there are almost 100 different cards available with more added daily. WWE Heritage Cards are similar to the digital card release and can be found in many retailers nationwide.

#These are digital pictures right? They don’t have a real world value do they?

• Actually yes they do. There is a thriving secondary market on eBay for these cards. Typical insert cards can sell for $1 to $5, while signature cards go for $5 to $25 or even higher. Extremely Limited cards, i.e the 10cc Lime Greens have sold for over $100.
• Technically selling cards online is against TOPPS Terms of Service, however, cards have been sold on eBay for years for the other TOPPS apps, and to my knowledge no one has ever lost an account by selling cards online.

#What are Insert Cards? What packs are they available in?

• Insert Cards usually belong to a special themed set and are issued for limited times. The first insert set was “Charisma” followed by “Aerialist”. For each set, a single card is issued daily until the set is finished, usually 6 to 8 cards. At the end of the set, if a collector has each card of a given variant they will receive an award card for free. Each insert set has a specific pack in the store where the cards can be obtained. Not every pack will have an insert unless that’s overtly stated.

#Variants in Inserts? What’s the deal?

• Each insert set typically has more than one variant available with different odds on obtaining that color. MOST sets have three different variants, an open ended set, a mid-range set and a hard set. One set thus far (the Warrior Tribute) had four variants, while a few sets had only one variant. There are also sets that are more open-ended and do not have an award card.

#Is there a place to find a list of all the insert sets that have been issued?

• YES, Grendelsens’ Handy Card Count List located in side bar and linked here

#What's a Marathon, how is it different than other insert sets?

• A Marathon Set is one where instead of the cards coming out daily, they come out once per week, and the set stretched for 30 weeks. So the full set is 30 cards, plus five award cards. You get awards at 3 different checkpoints, after each 10 weeks of the marathon. You get Award #1 for collecting all cards of a specific variant for weeks 1-10, Award #2 is for weeks 11-20, Award #3 is for Weeks 1-20 AND Award #1 and 2, Award #4 is for Weeks 21-30 and Award #5 is for Weeks 1-30, plus the 4 previous awards.

There are 7 different award sets, one for each day of the week. They are:

• Monday - Masters on the Mic - 1500cc no variants (started 2 weeks after the others)

• Tuesday - Queens of the Ring - Red Open Variant, Purple 2000 cc

• Wednesday - NXT Generation - 2500 CC no variants

• Thursday - Hall of Fame - Red Open Variant, Blue 2500 cc, Green Available through Card Exchange - 20% chance for 1 red, 100% chance for 3.

• Friday - Stars of the 1990s - Red 2000 cc, Green 500 cc only available through coin purchase ($3.99)

• Saturday - Foreign Imports - 2000 cc no variants

• Sunday - Stars of the 1980s - Green 2000 cc, Blue 1000 cc

• Marathons tend to be more valuable than your average insert card. The very first marathon in Star Wars was called "Vintage Han Solo in Millennium Falcon Cockpit" - look it up, see how much it's worth. Yes it sells for that much. The first marathon here was Paige Queen of the Ring, given her tenuous standing with WWE currently, that could end up being an extremely valuable card. I purchased the NXT Kevin Owens #1 off ebay for under $4, so don't think they're worth trading a signature for, yet.

#What’s a Card Count?

• Each card in the game has a card count listed on the back. This is how many specimens of that card exist in the game. If the card says “SOLD OUT” on the front, that Card Count is all that will ever be issued. If it’s not sold out, then typically the card count will increase as the game progresses. Base cards won’t sell out for quite awhile (until the next set is released). So there may be hundreds of thousands of a given card. Or if it’s sold out there may be as few as 36 of those cards. Heck for one Sold Out NXT Card there are only THREE in the entire game.

#Sold out NXT Card?

• During the RAW/SMACKDOWN LIVE draft there were several superstars or tag-teams drafted from NXT (WWE’s “minor league”) to the Main Roster, and to celebrate that achievement, their corresponding NXT Cards were “sold out” shortly thereafter and a new WWE branded card was issued in it’s place. They were:

• Finn Balor

• Alexa Bliss

• Mojo Rawley

• The Tag Team of American Alpha (Chad Gable & Jason Jordan)

• Nia Jax

• Carmella

• Eva Marie

• Thus their corresponding White, Green, Teal, Orange and Black cards that are branded NXT are no longer available in packs. Only their new WWE branded cards can now be pulled. In the Black version, which is very rare and at the time could only be found in 25K coin packs at 1% odds that are only available with a coin purchase, the card counts are very low. Eva Marie Black NXT has a card count of 3. The rest are under 100. Yes that means there are only 3 Eva Marie Black NXT cards in the entire game. One sold on eBay for $91.50 and another (perhaps the same one, not sure) is currently on sale for a $600 Buy It Now or best offer!

• Bayley has since been called up from NXT to RAW, and it took awhile but her base NXT branded cards are all sold out now, and WWE branded base are being issued.

#*There are now other sold out base cards, what gives?

• The day that Alberto Del Rio announced he was leaving WWE Topps immediately sold out all his base cards. Shortly thereafter the Dudley Boyz, who had "retired" on Raw a few weeks before that, also sold out. These included non-sold out Heritage base as well.

• This is not unprecedented in Topps apps. Individual base cards have sold out prior to the entire base set being retired. On Star Wars during Base Series 3 they ran a contest to see which "creature" was more popular, Rancor or Wampa, and the one less popular sold out and was retired. Wampa won and all Rancor cards were then sold out. Fortunately they didn't make the sold out cards required for the base set awards. Here on SLAM! so far the ADR and Dudley cards are still currently required for Base Set awards. (They have since removed ADR and the Dudleys, and the only Bayley needed is the WWE Branded one)

#How do Award Cards work?

• There are two types of awards, open ended for completing the base sets and limited insert sets.
• The Award for completing a base variant, collecting all 188 cards of either White, Green, Teal, Orange or Black sets is a badge in your award case and for the top two tiers, a coin award. These can be completed at any time so long as the base set is available. I can tell you that the White award is fairly easy to complete and with some trading can be done in a few days. The Orange award took me about 6 weeks from the game start. I don’t have any Black Cards, and they're really hard to pull, so that one is the most difficult obviously.
• Insert Set Awards are given out once at a specific time per variant set. You must have in your collection each card for that specific variant at the time of the deadline. Once the deadline has passed you do not need to keep the cards in order to obtain the award, even if it’s not issued right away. Occasionally there are technical issues that prohibit TOPPS from issuing the award card on time. Supposedly they know who has the cards at the deadline and issue the award accordingly.
• Insert Set Award Cards are found at the top of your collection.

#What’s the Deal With Open Ended Cards?

• Since the beginning of the game, certain variants are “open-ended” meaning they will never actually sell out, and corresponding card counts are obscured on the back. Just in the last week Topps has actually reissued two different sets of open-ended cards, the Charisma and Aerialists, the first two insert sets available. Open-ended cards are usually the easiest insert variant to pull from a pack, most often with odd of 1:10.

#Can We Actually See or Figure out an Open Ended Card Count?

• Yes. Just because it’s concealed doesn’t mean it’s not there. The card count is hard-coded on every card. If you sort your cards “Parallel by Card Count” they will fall into place accordingly. Additionally there is a technical glitch where if you clear your game’s cache, turn off your Wi-Fi by going to Airplane Mode, and reload the game the card count should then appear on the back. I also estimate card count by using the Parallel by Card Count method.

#What is the deal with the Odds? I opened 20 packs of cards and didn’t pull a single 1:10 variant. Topps is cheating?

• No they’re not. The odds are set by the code and are for across the entire spectrum of packs created. And their ODDS anyway, not a guarantee. If it says 1:10 that means that 1 in every 10 packs of cards issued will have an insert. Doesn’t say if you buy 10 packs you’re guaranteed an insert. That’s not the way odds work. Many times I’ve opened up tons of packs only to get bupkis. I’ve also opened one pack and gotten the 1:40 insert. So you never know. That’s why it’s a GAME.

#Who do I contact if I have a problem with the game?

• Topps Support is fairly good at reacting to issues in game. I’ve had pretty good luck with them resolving the issues I’ve had happen.

#OK How do I know how to value a given card?

• Well, there are several aspects to a given cards value.

• Scarcity of the card and card count

• Difficulty of pulling the card

• Cost to pull the card

• The set it belongs to

• The subject of the card’s popularity

• The whim of the cardholder.

• Scarcity of the card and card count should be a given. Obviously a card with a hard count of 250 (meaning there are only 250 cards in the game) should be more valuable than a card with 10,000-card count. Isn’t always the case, but should be fairly obvious.

• Difficulty of the odds of pulling the card is also a factor. A card with a 5000 cc that was a 1:50 odds in a 10K coin pack will be much more valuable in general than a card with a 5000 cc in a 5K coin pack with odds of 1:10. Yes there are the same numbers of cards, but that doesn’t mean they were just as easy to pull.

• Cost to pull the card is important too. Certain cards are just more expensive to pull than others. Take Signature cards. The high-end signatures (i.e. the ones with the LOWER card count) are only available in packs that cost 100,000 coins and even then they are now 1:15 odds. That means they have a general cost of 1.5 million coins to pull that card. (15 * 100,000). And there is only 1 of that type of card.

• Some sets are going to be more popular than others just given their set-makeup. A more recent set is going to demand higher trade value than an older set. Family Ties didn't seem to have much popularity because of the set makeup, even though the last-day card "The Usos and Rikishi" was in high demand. The current "Vintage" card set is going to make cards of The Iron Sheik (a former Heavyweight Champion) and Lex Luger (not someone I particularly hold in high regard) worth something simply because of the name "Vintage" which has a caché value from other Topps Apps.

• The Subject of the Card is super-important as well. Today's most popular performers are in high demand, especially if they are beautiful women. Off the top of my head I'd say Undertaker, John Cena, Brock Lesnar and Finn Balor are the most popular men. On the women's side it's Becky Lynch, Paige, Bayley and Sasha Banks. Less popular "jobbers" like your Zack Ryder, Kane, Big Show, Fandango, etc. are just not worth as much. Some NXTers like Angelo Dawkins, Tye Dillinger, and Sawyer Fulton may get a "who are they?" type of response. Legends unless they are super-duper stars like your Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels or Sting aren't going to be very popular. And forget about the announcers, unless they're hot like Renee Young.

• Finally Whim of the Collector has a lot to do with any given card's value. For example, the popular "hoard" cards are going to be more valuable to certain people. Certain people won't give up their favorite performers at all. I won't give up any of my Bret Hart cards, since he's my all-time favorite wrestler. I'd also be hard pressed to give up my Finn Balor cards. On the other hand I personally dislike Shawn Michaels, so I won't over-pay for his Vintage Color Card, even though I need it. Just personal preference.

• If you're really unsure how to value a card, just ask in the Trade Advice/Card Values thread and I or someone else will be happy to try and help out. Remember it's just our opinion, but we do tend to base our values on eBay sales and trades we've seen happen.

#Hoard?

• Some collectors will try to get as many copies of a given card or performer as they can, which is called "hoarding". Over the course of a few weeks or months you'll notice that as you buy packs of cards you'll amass a lot of white and green base cards. Instead of keeping 10 or 15 of every performer, you can trade away you cards for one or two performers. For example, I hoard Bret Hart and Finn Balor, I will trade you all my white copies of any performer as long as I have one left for your copies of Bret Hart or Finn Balor.

• The reason we do this is that on other Topps Apps they have had contests for hoarding the most of a given card which give out special monuments or awards. Also it makes the game more fun. At some point we may be able to use the Card Exchange to turn these cards into more valuable cards as well.

#What's the difference between an Event Themed Set (I’m not calling them Pay-Per-Views anymore) and a large set like Heritage or Undisputed?

• So far Topps has released three event themed sets and two large "sub-base sets" which happen to be based on physical WWE card sets Topps has released over the last year. The event themed sets are (in order) SummerSlam, Backlash and Clash of Champions. You can assume that for each event WWE has going forward there will some sort of release in game. The two "sub-base" sets are Heritage and Undisputed.

• SummerSlam was the first Event Themed Set released a couple of weeks prior to the annual SummerSlam Event. The base set had 67 subjects either in a Blue or Red variant. There were also two insert sets available, a 5 card Dual Signature set in three colors (red, blue and orange) and an 8 card Matchup set in three colors (red, blue and orange). An additional 4 base cards were available as “predictors” in Orange only. A SummerSlam poster card was also issued, but not considered part of the overall set. Awards were issued for the complete Red Base Set (three additional base orange cards), the complete Blue Base set (three additional base orange cards) and one corresponding color signature for having all five-signature cards of a given color. Sadly Topps also reissued the red and orange signature sets INCLUDING the award card for one day almost two weeks after the event. As of this writing the SummerSlam cards are not sold out.

• Backlash was the second Event Themed Set surrounding the most recent inaugural Smackdown Live PPV Backlash that aired on September 11, 2016. The base set there was 13 cards, there were 5 program cards in 2 variants - light blue and dark blue, plus a 2-card Dual Signature Series in white and blue. Additionally there was a Backlash themed Vintage Poster but shouldn't really be considered part of the set. Though if you want to that's fine with me. Additionally there were 8 black variants of the base cards, 6 were issued as "predictor" cards for the Women's 6-Pack Elimination Match for the new Smackdown Women's Title. Each one was available in a 5K pack. If whomever you chose won the match you got 10K coins the next day. Both Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella had over 5K cards printed. The others are about 500 or less. These are hard to come by now. The other two blacks were award cards given for collecting the entire 13 card base set.

• Clash of Champions is the third event oriented set that was issued just prior to the Clash of Champions event held on 9-25-16. It consisted of 12 base cards, 2 dual signature cards, 6 gold base cards (predictors and awards) and 3 "main event" cards. There were two (2) Main Event cards issued the week before the event, initially only for a coin purchase, each performer in the main event at Clash of Champions (Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens) got an "unsigned" card. The card of whichever performer won the match would be eligible to meld into a Signature card through the card exchange after the show. That was Kevin Owens. There were 181 Rollins cards issued. A similar number of Owens cards were issued. It remains to be seen exactly how many Owens cards get turned into sigs.

• Topps has announced that there will be "a very special Award Card for fans who are able to collect all base cards of a designated variant for events from Backlash to Survivor Series." The remaining events in this series will be No Mercy (October 9 - Smackdown Live), Hell in a Cell (October 30 - Raw), NXT Takover Toronto (November 20 - NXT) Probably NOT part of this promotion and Survivor Series (November 30 - Both Brands)

• Heritage is an ongoing Sub-Base Set with two current waves of cards and at least one more wave to come. Heritage is a brand name that Topps has been physically releasing in Baseball for over a decade, and it's very popular; they've been doing physical WWE sets for at least 5 years as well. The design of the set is reused from one other their earlier designs, in this years Digital and Physical release the WWE Heritage is based on 1986 Topps Baseball with black and colored border.

• The Heritage Digital set consists of four parts, a base set with five color variations. A signature set with four different color variations, a relic set with two types of relic cards, and a wave specific insert set. So far only awards for the insert set completion have been issued. There are several different packs of cards that contain Heritage Base and inserts. From the basic 10,000 coin pack which guarantees a single base card of red or white plus a chance at the insert, to a 500,000 coin pack containing 30 cards, all Heritage, which can be of any of the 5 color variations (red, white, bronze, silver and gold), relic cards and a signature card. Currently Wave 1 and 2 of Heritage have been released. The base set is Skip-Numbered on the back, so we know there will be more cards issued. Wave 2 gold cards were released separately from the rest of the Wave 2 variants, and the gold signature cards have yet to appear.

• Undisputed is a Sub-Base set that is actually the digital version of a physical card set Topps released earlier this year. They appear to be releasing it in waves just like the Heritage set. The first release was 28 cards from the base set and 13 cards from the Tag Team set, each released in 4 color variants. Additionally there are 11 Bronze Signatures and 12 Silver Signatures. John Cena doesn't appear to have a bronze signature. Packs ranged in price from 50K which gave one Blue base guaranteed and a chance at others, to 750K which was 22 cards all undisputed including a guaranteed signature. Value on these cards is variable as the price is so high the card counts are currently very low. EDIT: Wave 1 has now sold out and Wave 2 is currently (as of 9-29) available - Wave 1 bronze signature are still available.

Explain to me Topps Now.

• Topps Now is an extension of their physical print on demand card program. This has been very popular in Baseball and earlier this year they started on WWE. The day after each event a 5 card set is produced to specific ordered numbers for a 24 hour period and mailed to the end user. Each card is available individually or as a 5 card set. The actual produced numbers are VERY low, (i.e. under 200 copies of each physical card). The digital version is typically available the Tuesday after the event, and they can be purchased with cash for $9.99 per card or $34.99 per 5 card set (same price as the physical versions). OR they can be pulled at a 1:40 clip from a 10K coin pack. Thus far there have been 3 sets of 5 cards released both physically and in-game. 1-5 were from SummerSlam, 6-10 were from Backlash and 11-15 were from Clash of Champions. The cards are sequentially numbered, and given they're only available in game for 24 hours, they do tend to be quite valuable.

#What’s the deal with Signature Cards and Relic Cards, they’re just digital right?

• Yes. They’re just digital. Over in Bunt though, they’ve run promotions where you can actually buy a personalized signature card from a given player. They haven’t done that here yet. Each signature is just a digital version of the actual person’s autograph. Still they have value as you can see on eBay. The funny thing is they've actually issued cards for performers who passed away some time ago (Mr. Perfect and British Bulldog), and their signatures are...well...lame. With relics there’s not really a piece of cloth embedded in your digital card. But they’re just as limited as the real thing.

What's "Choose Your Allegiance"?

• The program was just released today 9-29-16 after two "teaser" cards were found in the store at a cost of 5K per card in a pack entitled "???". The program is very different from existing sets. There are two sets of 7 cards, one from RAW and one from Smackdown. Each insert card is one level, and has to be pulled from packs before you can advance to the next level. You can only choose one brand to chase at a time. For example, the Smackdown Live brand Level 1 is Bray Wyatt at a 1:10 chance, once you pull Bray you can chase Nikki Bella at Level 2. And so on. Once you have completed all 7 levels you will be issued an award card and be able to start on the other brand. If you complete both brand sets you will be issued a special award card. Unclear as to what the two preview cards are for if anything.

#How do I buy a single card that I want?

• Well, you can’t in the game. Except for the Topps Now cards. Those were available for individual purchase at $10 a pop, the same price as their physical versions. Single cards are not typically available for coin purchase in the game. Also one of the marathon sets has a variant that is available for cash purchase (Stars of the 1990s Greens)
• You can purchase individual cards in the "secondary market" - they sell on eBay regularly, ranging from $1 to the lowest tier insert to $50 for the high level signatures. Yes, it's a bit odd to buy digital cards for real cash, but plenty of people do it, and has been done since the beginning of BUNT in 2013. You can even list your own cards and sell them on eBay. There are other ancillary websites where you can buy cards directly, they exist for Star Wars and other games, haven't seen one for SLAM yet, but it's inevitable. Basically when you buy a card in the secondary market you exchange payment (via Paypal or Venmo or whatever) and then you give your in game name, the seller will then send you an in game trade for the card you purchased taking a common white or something else worthless. If you want to sell your card on eBay we have a link in the sidebar to a thread where you can promote you sales.
• We also tend to base our card values on the real world value of the card. It gives a pretty good benchmark for equal value cards. I also have started price guides on the Card Count/Values spreadsheet.

#How do I trade for cards I want?

• Every Topps App has built in card trading. It’s fun, try it. Go to the Fan Feed section of the game, and read the comments. If someone has something you want, click on their name and “offer them a trade”. Choose the card you want, choose something from your side that you think they want and send off the trade. The other player can accept, decline or counter your offer.
• If they accept or decline they can then rate your offer from 1 to 5 stars. A good offer that’s accepted should get you a 5 star rating. BUT a bad offer will get you a 1-star rating. Every player’s trade rating is visible at all times, and you should take into account their rating. I personally don’t usually trade with people who have two stars or below.

#How can I find out what cards are in the game?

• In the game you can look at the "All Cards" option underneath "My Cards" on the main page. This will show you a picture of every card in the game and you can sort by many different options. I have also created and maintained a spreadsheet of every non-Base card in the game with as accurate as I can get card counts. I constantly update this spreadsheet as much as possible so that it's at least listing all the cards in the game.

#Your card count is wrong and why isn't there card count for xx card?

• As I said, I try to keep it as accurate as possible. Card counts for the "open" variants of inserts may not necessarily be correct due to a number of factors, the least of which is that Topps has and probably will again rereleased open variants from dead sets. So always take the "open" card counts with a grain of salt. You can get a better assessment of an open card count by viewing all cards and then sorting by card count. The open cards will then sit between cards that have visible card counts, you may have to refresh the listing a couple times to get it to accurately sort though.

• I also try to not include card counts until the official "SOLD OUT" label has been applied. After the "SOLD OUT" label is applied TOPPS has a policy of not releasing any more cards, so at that point the CC should be accurate.

• I am always willing to update or correct card counts if you wish to send me a PM through Reddit and let me know where the error lies.

#What other resources are there?

• There are other websites for Topps Apps, I recommend Digital Sports Card Central run by my good buddy Gellman (really he’s been in my annual Fantasy Football League for more than a few years, and at one point I used to write for his Sports Cards Uncensored Blog). And also the Reddit board you’re reading right now!
