A&G Code Contest- Where's the code cards?

[abcd1234]

This has got to be one of the most unusual years for the code breaker contest...I read about last year's winner and supposidely that same person has already started working on breaking the code this year...Does anyone know if the celestial stars set has anything to do with finding the code? Last year's code cards actually looked more obvious with the symbols around the borders. I'm not sure what to think of this set. Its not even listed on the odds of the pack!

I have open 3 boxes so far and have not seen on card that would make me think it was a code card. I only found the Ad cards for it but the actually codes cards.

Perhaps they are imbedded in the actual base cards?

Look at the ad cards...out the window the stars are highlighted quite well.

They are, but the cards are also a hint is all I'm saying.

Hey Pinbreaker, I'm in the same boat as sethyarkony. I would be interested to see one of these cards. I didn't open any of it this year and would like to see what these look like.

Thanks in advance.

Guys, the Celestial body cards contain the codes, hence the stars being prominant in the promo cards.

Not sure why people are being so hush hush..

Here's what's so strange, last year and in 08' the cards that had something to do with the ginter code had symbols across the borders of the card...If you search on ebay for the 2010 celestial stars, look at the cards...There does not seem to be any extra symbols except for the one obviously positioned in the middle of the card (which is there to show the specific symbol associated with a specific astrological period). Some people have also shown the backs of these cards in their ebay listings and nothing seems out of place or unusual...Now on the front, you could try to find some meaning from the alignment of the player's name with the A&G logo but I do not want to believe it would be that easy considering how difficult last year's code was.

Here is a blog that walks you through the steps 2 people took and how eventually one of the 2 became a winner last year:

Strasburg is looking to his right... your left.... bet that plays a part as well.

The symbol on the cards are the astrological sign the player was born under.

i.e. Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Gemini, etc...
