Oh we get Ginter.....we just don't get Topps hiding these cards in a secret compartment, knowing people throw the boxes away, and then Tweet something about it a couple days after launch.

For anyone who doesn't know, the tweet Topps sent wasn't "hey look inside the box flap, might be a one off one inside".
No, that would make sense.
It was something like "its Allen ginter day, who's ready to rip a cover today"
Hmm, sounds like a code.
WOW, very dumb idea knowing people throw the boxes away, but I'd like to know if you'd be able to notice if the box lid was thicker?
or even a "Fold-Out Wagner" parallel.
I like the idea for the most part; but I get a sick feeling, as a player collector, that an outstanding 1/1 of my guy is in the trash somewhere. I can make peace with the fact that there are probably some 1/1's that will never surface, but that's because the product was never opened, or the collector just isn't the public type. But the idea that it's in a wet dump right now is kind of annoying (assuming that ends up being the case).
This is kind of the essence of baseball card collecting though. One could argue that there wouldn't be a hobby if "mom didn't throw out my cards".
Idea for Topps:
We all need to accept the fact that redemptions are here to stay, but what if a product like Ginter made redemptions "fun"? Instead of inserting their lifeless blue cards into packs, create mini Ginter codes that are found by reading the backs of the regular base cards.
Why should anyone have to work or guess what they are owed?
Now if there's a redemption code for a rare bonus auto, in fine with that.
Follow leaf's lead when it comes to redemptions. THAT'S how you make it fun.

It's pretty standard to see people who are used to being spoon fed get upset when they aren't given everything they think they deserve.
