Diamond Topps - worst cards and worst trades

[gpenko826]

Just cashed in another 10 codes - got a few 60's commons and a bunch of junk. I have now redeemed 92 codes, and have yet to get ANYTHING resembling an autograph, a die-cut, or a star card before 1987. I've nailed 3 cards before 1961, all commons. Am I missing something here?

Also, the number of idiot trade offers I have received have tripled in the last few days. The worst of the worst - someone offered me a 1989 Topps Checklist for a 1954 Topps common. Couldn't hit "DECLINE" fast enough.

Anyone else have bad luck with redeeming codes or idiotic trade requests to share?

all of the above, sprinkled in with a few decent trades and good pulls

There are some infamous traders (including Superfan and Jester -- JMartone is up there as well and a few others I'm missing. if you receive offers from them, the odds are -- you're getting ripped

I redeemed 46 codes in total and also havent gotten a decent card or diecut and the oldest card was a 64 common. Made a bunch of trades and now have a total of 3 cards, all 62 topps: Ken Boyer, Johnny Keane, and Redbird Rippers(yeah I'm a Cardinals fan).

I had a good run that was about 10 cards pre '65 including a 58 mudcat grant RC which someone was offering quite a gem!.....02 Joe Mcewing. The earliest I pulled was a '57 common which im sure woudl be a PSA1. I love seeing the offers and how reluctant people are to trade any stars. I put together an offer of like 40 modern cards for a '90 Thomas RC and nothin, oh well

All I have got is 70s to 2000s commons. If someone has the Daniel Descalso 1/1 diamond card, or a die cut let me know we can try to work something out

Last night I got a 2001 Topps Archive Dick Groat auto which I then traded for three die-cuts (Chipper, Hanson and Grady Sizemore). Other than that it has been commons from all over Topps history; I have gotten some HOFs from the 1987 set and early 1990s Barry Bonds.
