2016 Topps Star Wars Card Trader Physical Trading Cards Checklist and Details
Just like Bunt got for baseball, Topps’ Star Wars digital trading card app is getting a physical release. 2016 Topps Star Wars Card Trader trading cards take many of the elements and designs of the app’s cards and give them a more traditional spin. That said, the product still attempts to work in both realms with code cards that unlock digital exclusives. In fact, every pack of 2016 Topps Star Wars Card Trader includes a digital code of some sort.
The physical 2016 Topps Star Wars Card Trader base set has 100 cards. It’s based on the 2015 digital design, although with different photos and some characters from The Force Awakens who didn’t make the original checklist.
Base cards come with six levels of parallels: Blue (one per pack), Red (1:4 packs), Green (/99), Orange (/50), Battle Damaged (/10) and Slave I (/5). Parallels are among the cards with a dual purpose. They can be used to unlock app exclusives as well.
Just like the traditional modern pack chase, autographs are a key element in the SWCT app. Of course, these are digital versions, which makes the ink impossible to transfer onto your phone, but their rarity can be a driving force. 2016 Topps Star Wars Card Trader replicates a similar idea. Digital Autographs are like printed versions of the digital cards with facsimile signatures. Arriving with a lower price point than other Star Wars trading card products, it’s not focused on delivering traditional hits. That said, the Digital Autographs are tough. Base versions are numbered to 25 while parallels come in Red (/10) and Gold (/5).
A handful of popular insert sets from the app have also made the jump to the physical 2016 Topps Star Wars Card Trader. Reflections and Classic Art are both based on artwork, although in two very different styles. Reflections takes a detailed route that approaches photo-realism. Classic Art is more of a pop art look, reminiscent of the illustrations found on the back of vintage Star Wars cards. Galactic Moments focus on real-life turning points for the franchise and its reception. Film Quotes highlights famous bits of dialogue. Finally, there’s Topps Choice, a set dedicated to some of the stranger and overlooked characters that often lurk in the background and in the shadows on the screen.
Bounty Cards are inserted 1:24 packs. These can be redeemed for a full digital pack.
