Star Wars Card Trader - The Force Awakens Modernography Preview 7 IMAGES

Every single person that leaves their Star Wars Card Trader in-game fan name in the comments below will be gifted a free Modernography insert!The worldwide launch of Star Wars: The Force Awakens has lead to an explosion of new digital trading cards in Topps' iOS and Android app Star Wars Card Trader.For the uninitiated, Star Wars Card Trader lets you crack packs of virtual trading cards, which will mostly contain "base" cards of varying rarity. Occasionally lucky players may pull a rare "insert" card, however. Collecting all the inserts in a set usually awards players with an extra-rare award card, encouraging players to barter and trade with one another, getting rid of their duplicate cards to collect any they haven't yet tracked down. Although selling digital trading cards is techincally against the SWCT Terms of Service, it isn't uncommon to see especially sought ultra-rare cards sell for $100 or more on services like Ebay - digital trading cards have become serious business for lots of fans.Star Wars Card Trader has a developed a reputation for using all the parts of the Star Wars buffalo, with entire sets dedicated to concept art, movie quotes, behind-the-scenes, ship blueprints, weapons, lesser-known droids, retro-style 1977 cards, Rebels, Nightbrothers, and virtually anything else imaginable. This ensures that Star Wars fans of every stripe should have something that appeals to them.This trend is continuing with the release of The Force Awakens. Topps has announced the introduction of four new Force Awakens-themed card sets this weekend. Let's take a look:Note: One piece of artwork below contains aof a moment in The Force Awakens' first act.This set, according to Topps, is made up of "Highly graphical badges and card art, focusing on between the First Order and the new Resistance... providing a fresh visual approach that stands out for audiences among the rest of the Force Awakens content currently in the market." The Force Awakens Modernography set will make its debut tomorrow, but check out the gallery below for anlook at six of the cards the set will contain.

This 15-card set giving players a peek at the early concepts and designs for key moments and characters from The Force Awakens. The entire set was released all at once on Friday, with a special bonus available for those players that manage to nab all 15.

For my money, the Story Cards are the best set of the bunch. They're relatively easy to collect, feature high quality original artwork, and if you manage to nab each one, in the end you'll have a nice collection of cards that follow along with the plot of the film. But of course, every collector is different, and there is no wrong way to chase.Eligibility for a free Modernography card has ended, so if you left your fan name in the comments below, make sure to check your app over the next few days to claim your free Star Wars Modernography card. If you left your name, but didn't receive a card a few days after December 21, send and email to
