Topps Million Card Giveaway
Why didn’t I think of this as a blog contest? I could have gotten rid of every card I hate and/or don’t want by sending you all codes… However, I have a life and no time to come up with a system to do such event. Anyway…. I’m done poking fun.
It seems like most people are having a slow time redeeming their codes, or having no luck at all. I have to find my code cards before I can try and redeem them. I will probably wait a few days until the chaos and slow registration dies down.
If you were able to redeem your Topps Million Card Giveaway
code cards, what did you get? I am curious as to what is floating around out there since not everyone that collects uses twitter. Feel free to list your cards and perhaps maybe you guys can use the lists as a way to trade for cards you would like.

I've managed to redeem 4 of my 5 cards.
1987 Dave Winfield
1993 Omar Vizquel
2000 Fred McGriff
2005 Mark Buehrle
Hopefully I'll be able to find out what the 5th crappy card is at some point tonight.
I know that Stale Gum got a couple of pretty sweet cards, so some bloggers are doing better than others.
I had 1 code and got a '68 Lou Johnson. I'm happy.
1961 Chico Fernandez
1973 Juan Marichal
1974 Larry Gura

Only 2 of 8 redeemed so far:
1988 Scott Garrelts
1993 Rockies Future Stars (nobody anyone's heard of).
There are reports of people get some great stuff: 1960s cards, 1952 Topps. I think it's cool.
Rookie Stars Card Boston Red Sox 1964
Teddy Higuera 1990
Denard Span 2009

I got 2 1952 Topps amongst others. Must … go.. get.. more… codes
People are managing to unlock better cards than I expected, but I'm getting really frustrated with the Topps website. It finally let me make an account, but it has no intention of letting me redeem my one stinking code.
Got a 1960 card and 1987 Schmidt.
2009 Brandon Phillips and 1991 Atlee Hammaker.
That's was fun.
The best 1 i got was a 1960 Harmon Killebrew!
1993 Tracey Woodson
1962 Robin Roberts
1987 Reid Nichols
1988 Kevin Bass
2005 Mark Loretta
1987 Whitey Herzog
I guess the best I got is a 1974 Burt Hooton. That was out of 12 redeemed. I have 12 more to do. I seem to have had terrible luck.
I can't find the actual cost of shipping on the Topps website…anyone know? Not that I'd do it for the ones I redeemed.
We're redeeming only 1 each day at our blog. Today the first (of 14 total so far) was a 1988 Fred Lynn.
I'm optimistic that won't be the best card of the batch.
Redeemed 2 of 2:
1987 Leon Durham
1973 Jim Spencer
Not too bad so far.
Hi, new to the blog. Took awhile to get onto Topps website and register account, but eventually able to redeem my codes:
1969 Juan Marichal
1986 Mike LaCoss
1987 Dave Winfield
1989 Robin Yount
2001 Randy Wolf
2005 Eric Hinske
2005 Mike Timlin
2009 Bonderman (traded for 2009 Verlander need for set).
Overall, I'm happy with the promotion. Marichal is $8 in Beckett. Winfield and Yount are not commons. Plus was able to trade for a card I needed. On the website they show lots of good cards unlocked already (1952's, Jeter auto's, etc).
I got the following:
1960 Bob Schmidt
1972 Steve Renko In Action
1984 Rick Sutcliffe
1987 Robin Yount
1990 Bobby Bonilla
1971 Woodie Fryman
Pretty fun stuff.
Sigh, I guess I will find my code cards and try this tonight or tomorrow.
I've heard a couple of cool Marichal cards which is fun, and to the people who got 2009 cards that is just ridiculous (not that a 1987 card is any better in my eyes).
Jeff Stone 1987
I can barely contain my excitement.
'57 Daryl Spencer, '62 Willie Mays AS and a couple of others. I'm very happy. Now I have to find someone to accept a trade.
