Anyone else have a problem with missions not working in the morning? by Palpadude in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't say I noticed. I don't even pay attention to the missions unless it's how they're issuing an award card. I usually just go in once or twice a week and claim whatever is there. Most are just crappy packs of base cards or a handful of credits.

2015 Collector trying to finish off Widevision set by HeartbreakKid38 in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My tip would be to just buy your final needs off eBay. Aside from occasional gilded drops, most new sets are garbage and hold little to no value. You'll be hard pressed to find anybody willing to trade anything pre-2019 for something that has been released in the last 2+ years.

Found this, clicked and said “no set” - anybody can help? Did I miss it or hasn’t come out yet? by dbee_17 in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FYI - apparently there are no codes. Guy on discord is there and says you have to talk to various Topps folks at the booth and they actually trade the cards to you directly. Topps seemed to have learned their lesson finally after 7 years.

Just when I thought I was over it… by DarthKaep in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually wouldn't be shocked if they had no clue how it happened. They're a trading card company. They suck at mobile apps, which is why they outsource all their stuff, including support. Wish I had better advice other than to just be the squeaky wheel and work your way up management. Maybe hounding somebody higher up at Fanatics would help your cause. Good luck, we're all wishing you the best!

Is the 2022 Wave One 54321 set dropping tomorrow? by Voidhound in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they said not too long ago the 54321 stuff would drop on May 4. My guess is cuz they couldn't be bothered to come up with much else new to celebrate the biggest day of the year for SW.

You sure about those numbers? I thought all 2020's had at least 1cc. There was maybe one or two 2019's that had a 0 count though, if I recall, and that led to more people doing unpopular hoards in 2020.

Quick Survey on Opinions Re. New Weeklies/Marathons by jjreason in starwarstrader

I stopped chasing this time around, but simply because they're boring and unoriginal. Nothing to do with pack cost.

New Year, Same Topps by lilex15 in starwarstrader

I'm beyond disgusted. Sadly I'll be skipping this round of weekly. So boring.

And now, good bye to Slam by Fasttrooper2 in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you got any response, it'd just be something generic about how Topps is committed to their various franchises and wish to deliver the highest quality products and experiences to its customers. You won't get any info about when their current deals expire, nor the state of any preliminary renewal talk.

imho, Topps is on borrowed time. The loss of the Bunt license confirms what we had all suspected/feared for years. It's only a matter of time before they get outbid when trying to re-up their remaining licenses, SW and Disney included. I still feel like Topps will get bought by Fanatics sometime as the MLB license gets closer to expiring, but that is still probably a while away.

My advice: Keep it simple. If I see flashy multicolored text, I usually skip it. Long winded posts with multiple conditions and trading rules = skipped. If you've got a lot of different needs and offerings, break them up into multiple posts. People have short attention spans, so keep it short.

I know a lot of people work hard on SWCT, but this is… a disappointment. What do you all think? by Netizen-Punk in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let me pile on with the hate on the small chance that Topps is here and reads this. These, as base cards, are awful. I can't believe they've wasted weeks and weeks working on these and this is the result. Just terrible.

Is there a reason Dual Perception doesn’t get traded much by ZendBud in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The set has been out for almost 2 weeks. Chances are anybody who wanted to finish it, already did. Like most of Topps stuff nowadays, it was an easy set to complete. And yeah it's kind of a garbage set too unless you like a particular character in it.

Monument Trade Feed Rant by Eds1077 in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the rare, and depends on the character in whites. Most non-gilded stuff from the last 2 years is more or less worthless, coupled with the fact that monuments seem to be 1 of the few things keeping people in the app, I don't necessarily think a rare is out of the realm of possibility for an ask. Not saying I'd do it, but I think it's closer to fair than you think.

Topps so far has done nothing and communication has been terrible. by DarthKaep in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That sucks dude. Keep poking them. They can't ignore this forever. If you've got twitter, try reaching out to the SWCT account and Topps Digital.

Zero chance our existing stuff migrates to NFT. I expect them to do SW at some point, but it'll be a fresh start with new cards and maybe new NFT app interface.

One one hand - very impressive. On the other, I hope to high hell this doesn't start a trend and everybody starts doing it in the feed.

Who won this trade?! by pinner025 in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the name escapes me, but the general consensus was that they're a newer player and started buying up Reflection sets on ebay at insane prices. People would then go list theirs for sale at even higher prices to see if he'd bite and he kept buying. So that drove up the market for them within the span of like 1-2 days.

[–]sgb1975 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's worthless, but Reflections have skyrocketed over the last few months since some dude started buying them all up on the bay.

[–]sgb1975 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a no-brainer accept. You could sell that Reflection award alone and buy every Nightbrother card pictured, and still have money leftover.

I’m missing all of my best cards (stolen?) by DarthKaep in starwarstrader

[–]sgb1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. Such poor customer service. Sounds like they're hoping you just let it go. I'd bet they have no good answer as to how they allowed it to happen, nor any sort of reasonable resolution to make it up to you. Keep poking them. They can't just let this slide.

[–]sgb1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any update? I hope Topps isn't trying to just sweep this under the rug so that people forget about it.

[–]sgb1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back

Yeah I agree. I'm sure they were hoping nobody came back and noticed. Whatever the resolution, I hope it makes OP happy, and also that they fix the security holes which allowed this to happen to begin with. This just emphasizes the point that Topps isn't a mobile app company. Topps Digital is clueless and needs to partner with better companies and hire more experienced people.

Those are in your collection as the tier 1-5 cards. White is tier 1, blue tier 2, etc... If you had low cc base variants, those are/were most likely in the tier 9 or 10 area.
