150+ codes entered with 5 base cards received.

BEWARE: the site is glitchy. I took a screenshot of my 5 cards (which show up at the bottom of the homescreen), because my counter shows zero cards, and when I go to the cards tab, it says I have not unlocked any (see below): UPDATE: My cards are correctly accounted for again, but the fact that they could be temporarily lost is disconcerting. Unless you are going for the 200 coin free set, I would wait to use your codes.

I entered 10 codes and got all coins plus the 3 free ones.(all coins as well) :(

Checked the checklist and there aren't any current Cardinals coins, except for Pujols.

Yes it still says St. Louis Cardinals. Also only a few Cardinals cards besides the 1/1's.

I'm not impressed with this years giveaway.

Wow, from the few bits of info gathered in this thread, looks like getting cards from codes will be tough. That's not a good thing IMO. I want cards, not fake coins :?
Not the Site/Giveaway for you then.

Guess I should've waited for the site to go live before buying a crapload of code cards ::facepalm:: Guess I'll just flip em around for what I paid. Oh well.

Some info for those that haven't checked the site closely yet, or received any cards.

1. When you receive a card, you don't receive a digital item (different from last year, IIRC). Thus, if you are going for 200 coins, you will need more than 200 codes, assuming you receive some cards.
2. It doesn't look like the short-printed coins are tradeable. Only 29 of each category of coin are listed in the trade area dropdown menus.
3. The shortprinted team is St. Louis, by process of elimination.
4. No idea on the SP player or HOF, since I have not seen a checklist anywhere, other than the 29 player dropdowns.

That's rubbish.

No guaranteed cards. I received a Jackie Robinson digital ring.

I agree that it would be nice to get a real card, but the code cards do clearly state that you EITHER get a digital golden coin or a special limited edition card. I was frustrated by the fact that at least on the codes I entered, I got one real card for every 30 codes entered. That part is rubbish.

It'll be easy.
You'll be lucky to get 2 or 3 out of that 46.
Just write them down.

Mays is missing from the HOFers on the pull down menu. And i know he has a coin. So Mays is the SP.
