Signed up a week ago and really enjoying it. Basically all the things I loved about cards as a kid except with a much larger trading base. Anyone else on it?

Basically, the app allows you to do a few different things:
1.) Collect virtual cards, buy packs, trade with others in the app, etc.
2.) Play the game for points. When you pull a player's card from a pack you can put them into your lineup. They score points based on how they perform. Points are also determined by which version of the card you have -- White (common), Green (uncommon), Red (Rare), Silver (Scarce), Gold (Super Rare). Obviously, the Gold are the toughest to pull from a pack and the White are the easiest. The game works in real-time so you can shift players in and out between at bats or innings. Sort of like combining card collecting with fantasy baseball.
There's also inserts and sig cards and each card has it's print run on the back. Print runs will increase as cards are pulled and then once the card sells out they're no longer available in packs and you have to trade for them.
Seems like it's pretty popular with the oyunger generation (which is always good) but I'm enjoying it a lot as well. Don't remember the last time I had as much fun with the hobby as when I put together the base set.
But they give you coins when you sign up as well as a daily bonus for signing in and a weekly bonus for signing in 7 days in a row so you're perfectly capable of collecting/playing for zero money out-of-pocket. Then it just depends on how involved you want to get.

<< <i>Larkin, they have a Droid app for it now. I have Droid and have it so it's out there somewhere. >>
Yep, found it on Google Play. I wonder why Topps doesn't advertise it on their website and the link only goes to the Apps Store?

I wish there were more options for viewing the collection (e.g., sort by color and then last name, or sort by team and then name and then color). Right now you get to basically choose just one sort option and then it's random.
I'd recommend checking it out. It's free to start and you get free coins to buy packs every day you go back.

I started playing the game for about a week and that was about it. I never have the iPad anymore in my possession and always forget about it.
But thank you for letting me know about the Android app. I just installed it.
Question... these cards are always digital.. right? for example the cards being sold on ebay.. it's for digital cards, right?

<< <i>My 15 year old son got me into it last year. He got to be pretty good at the trading aspect and had a huge collection at one point - all the sigs, special inserts, etc. He was named Fan of the Week a few months ago and when that happens they interview you and make a "Fan's Choice" card with your favorite player on it. He's a Brandon Beachy fan so that's why there's a Beachy Fan's Choice card this year. It's actually kind of fun. I enjoyed it more last year than this year because it seems there are just too many inserts to chase this year. I still collect my daily coins and bust packs with those though. >>
That's an awesome story! It's great to see such an active collecting app. Before I started playing, I thought digital cards were strange too. I would never imagine actually paying for a digital card. Well, $100 later... Hah. There is something really enjoyable
About having a card collection on my mobile device. Nice card designs with great photography.
OK, I just went through the setup, have 1 pack so far but it won't let me drag anyone into the game - what am I doing wrong? I can drag it to the box, the box gets the yellow square around it and then it just bounces back to where it was.
tried it 30 times so far LOL
edit - nm I figured it out
Just bought 2 of the 200 coin rookie packs and got a gold Puig in each pack - is that normal?

I think the Puig gold cards are not "Super Rare". Might be a hook to make you think pulling good cards will be easy. When I first started I "bought" 3 packs and got 4 Puig Gold cards.
