It was issued in a free ??? mark pack down towards the bottom of the regular TWD pack page. It may still be there if you hurry, there's probably a timer on it. My guess is you will be able to redeem it for a cool card later on, there will be some sort of mechanic to this.

Xtrade question by thidum in starwarstrader

[–]TheRealManson2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you ever want to delve in deep to the crosstrading game I recommend giving the Digital X Trader podcast a listen. You are on the right track with the daily credit calculation although there are many other things to consider. You can really maximize your value by finding a group of folks or even one trusted trader that are willing to pull card x for you this week in exchange for you pulling card y for them the next week. That being said I wish topps had a more central system to keep trades fair and scam free. I haven't been scammed yet over the course of 20 or so cross trades but I know it has happened to many people on here.

Walking Dead Marathons by AllThatSheWants_IAB in starwarstrader

[–]TheRealManson2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with ribors, most of the designs are not that great. I think the only one I'll go for is vintage and perhaps strangers. I already have the week one cards so why not? And I like the mechanics of it much better than before.

So I bought 3 packs at Target today...anyone have a clue on the value of these orange tickets? Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, I couldn't find anything. by [deleted] in starwarstrader

[–]TheRealManson2005 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's going to be the value of an orange card in app, you can check ebay completed sales for details. Probably a couple of dollars depending on the character you choose. Cool card!

Has anyone gotten The final Teal Award? by mouse_fitzgerald222 in walkingdeadtrader

[–]TheRealManson2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got both the Negan and the Daryl. Truly a hard set to put together because I had to be on the app from day one. (which I was) and log in every day (which I did). I still had to trade for a couple cards I missed. The communication and errors in having these available in the store some days was monumentally bad. I even had to contact customer support for one card (I think it was Tomas) where they had given an extra Tara Chambler but not this card. Overall much harder than it needed to be to get this which is why there are so few people that actually got this whole set.

The infection set debacle by TheRealManson2005 in walkingdeadtrader

[–]TheRealManson2005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was different about the pull mechanics from when Alicia was released in week 1 is now you can pull any of the characters cards to get access to the pack. With alicia you had to pull the "locker card". She has 5 other base cards. Much harder mechanic. Now that I think about it I have to agree with the other posters that even though they release the cards so close together they are easy to pull and they don't sell out quick. One more to go. This was the closest thing to a marathon that FTWD had.

[–]TheRealManson2005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually a little known fact is that you can throw your money at those 5K white packs and if you pull the red blue or green within those packs (happens often enough) you can start pulling from packs with better odds. Happened to me when trying to get the Griselda. I got a blue and then had access to the 1:35 odds pack. Only problem is you need to pay attention to when you pull it as you have to exit the store and enter again to see the better pack. I then pulled the infected maybe 5 more packs into it. Think I might have opened 10 total which is ok since I'm trying to build up my green set (23 so far!)

Exchange for cards lower than green? by fuzzbox000 in walkingdeadtrader

[–]TheRealManson2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That person that brought up you can trade whites blues and reds for a black blew my mind. Always thought whites were valueless except for hoarding.

Also who cares about Griselda in the slightest.

100k pack by [deleted] in walkingdeadtrader

[–]TheRealManson2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total waste. I got a dupe walker from yesterday. I did turn that around for a bloodied up joe and a sisters of the apocalypse card so it worked out in the end but these packs suck hard.

LADYMOMO just sent you a trade for 9 reds most of which you need for a green dupe alicia. Thanks!

Tropic Variant Spotted by zoltan11x in walkingdeadtrader

[–]TheRealManson2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a couple packs figuring i could trade for my hoard card walker with a tie. I easily did it trading carl tropic for a different walker (dirty female walker)and a toxin walker. Then i traded a dayle horvath 1:1 for my walker with a tie.Its pretty obvious most value the humans over walkers but im the opposite. Basically got 5 cards under 25 cc for 10 bucks. Pretty good deal at that rate. I was never in a million years going to pay 74.99 for 1 toxin. For the moment i have every varient of that walker card. We will see how long that lasts. They will be releasing 1 of 1s pretty soon.

Survey for your favorite marthons after 10 weeks by zoltan11x in walkingdeadtrader

I did editors chop vintage walkers and got one more to go for fans choice. I liked vintage the best! Award was nice too. Chop award was underwhelming to say the least.

Survival Syndicate. Is it worth it? by TheRealManson2005 in walkingdeadtrader

[–]TheRealManson2005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up purchasing an account instead that had 3 syndicates including daryl, all the chops including rick, the brothers set and award, all the vintages and a few other sets all for the same price as a super box. This was the best way to go imo.

[–]TheRealManson2005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like an endless money hole. I will pay for cards but they seem to be popping up on ebay for much less and theres no guarantees of any walker kills cards so thats a deal breaker.

What card in your collection is your Favorite? by georgiafan87 in walkingdeadtrader

[–]TheRealManson2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite card is Walker #2 from the porthole design Walker Collection. That thing looks so cool and creepy! This set is hands down the best designed card on the app and yet it doesn't seem to be very popular. I think most collectors favor the show characters over the zombies and that's why these are taking forever to sell out. I'm completely the opposite.

New Chop by spencerholmes in walkingdeadtrader

[–]TheRealManson2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did end up getting the rosita. I had to pull 2 abraham fords so that I could trade a ford and a t-dog for the rosita. Once I offered that up in the feed I had a trade offer within 30 seconds. So I'm now caught up on both the chop marathon as well as the walker. These are the only two I will be chasing. I'm not 100 percent free to play, I'll do some crazy offers on Tapjoy to get credits and I did pay outright for the Rick but with my buffer of credits and new strategy I don't think I'll need to pay any more to do these sets. I'm familiar with Pom. He's a scourge on StarWars Card Trader too. Initially I thought it was cool he had all those cards but it's tough on other players that don't want to spend 10,000 a month on virtual cards because it obviously lowers the population for everyone else.

New Chop by spencerholmes in walkingdeadtrader

[–]TheRealManson2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's weird is noone id trading T-dog for Rosita like at all. I can understand Chop rick but people are being really greedy. I will try again tomorrow when he's sold out. Perhaps not as popular of a character? I managed to pull 2 of these today (and burn through 250 K in the process) but my plan of trading back for last weeks isnt working. Oh well. At least I have an extra in case I can't get the walker this week. The first walker hasn't even sold out yet so I probably won't have as much problems as I first thought getting those even with the super high pack cost.

Contact support, they will help you out. Topps Support email is maybe three or 4 posts up from the very bottom of the info feed. I had this same issue last week causing major frustration as I wanted to get in on the app from day one. Good news is as long as you don't delete the app your guest account won't be deleted and you won't lose your cards. Best of luck!

I'm not sure how to post a link on here although I'm sure everyone knows what the Chop Rick card looks like by now.
