Inserts are cards that aren’t in the base set and are often (though not always) highly prized. Users also frequently refer to the different colors of parallels at the time of this post, they are white, blue, red, yellow and gold in increasing order of scarcity - and perceived value, to most fans! Topps has also introduced special purple, green and orange cards as rewards or cards you can only find in specific packs. A few general things you might want to know: “dupes” is short for duplicates or doubles, and refers to when people have more than one copy of a particular card.
Tapping on the little ‘+’ icon in the upper-right corner of the Fan Feed allows you to post your own comment. Simply tapping on the name of the person in any message opens a menu where you can see their user profile, offer a trade or add them as an in-app friend. Here you’ll see an ever-updating list of people advertising what they are looking for and what they might be willing to offer in return.
No one is fortunate enough to pull every card they might want, so the place to go to find a trade partner is the Fan Feed (the second option on the main navigation, with an icon that looks like four Stormtrooper heads). That way you’ll always be informed when new cards go on sale.
To stay in the loop, consider checking the Transmissions tab (it’s the first option from the main navigation, signified by what looks like a satellite transmitter icon) and allowing notifications to your phone or tablet. The thing to remember is that new packs hit the Cantina at different times throughout the day, and if you want a shot at the insert cards for that day - some of which sell out quickly - you’ll want to have credits on hand when the proper packs arrive. It’s tempting, for sure, especially since if you log in for seven straight days, you receive an even larger amount. Don’t spend all your credits as soon as you log in. With that in mind, we’ve put together a Star Wars Card Trader new user guide, full of tips and hints to make your virtual collecting experience in a galaxy far, far away that much more satisfying. Even though it’s fairly straightforward, it can be a bit confusing for newcomers.
