More Proof Topps Is Run By Morons

[goldenegg1]

So I've received 3 blue wave packs now from the Bowman Prospect challenge in the last two weeks. The cards come in a clear plastic pack and I have the sneaking suspicion that there is zero chance at autographs (even though they claim there are.). Anyway, anyone realize what is wrong here?

Looks like 2012 Bowman to me...

The codes for the Bowman Prospect Challenge are ONLY for 2012 Bowman Draft Blue Wave packs, the 2013 Bowman Blue Waves were ONLY for the wrapper redemption.

BINGO!
Why the hell would they give out 2012 Bowman Packs for a 2013 Promo?
Why weren't these given out last year for the wrapper redemption?

They had a wrapper redemption last year though too. I remember getting a pack from them.

I believe its a continuation program from the 2012 release. There wasn't a wrapper redemption for 2012 Bowman Draft, where these cards are from.

I think the Prospect Challenge Cards were in 2012 Bowman Draft, 2012 Bowman Sterling and 2013 Bowman - each for the 2012 Bowman Draft Blue Wave program.

You must have entered a ton of codes for 3 packs! I have gone through nearly 200 codes and only hit 1 pack.

Not to get too far off topic but, the flyer says "Special Autograph cards to 10 winners each Month"....has anyone actually heard of anyone winning any of these since we are several months into the "Challenge" season....Just saying

I won a prize in May. It will be 5 autograph cards from Bowman Draft Picks. Not sure if it will be 2012 or 2013 or what?.

All I see is that you can pull these from those products.
Am I wrong to assume that they would put 2013 Blue Wave packs in those that were unlocked using 2013 codes?
Lets say this promo runs into 2014, would they still send out the 2012 cards because that is when the promo started?

That is kind of my point here, it is now June of 2013 and they are going to send you auto cards from 2012?

2013 Blue Waves redeemed through wrapper redemption

The Bowman Prospect Challenge will end after the MiLB is over I assume. Is there an expiration date on the back of the code cards?

I won the Aflac set as a monthly prize but the site says its still unavailable .. Shouldn't they already be in stock if they are from 2012?
