topps million card giveaway. Post what you got

[MacK]

How can you tell what cards you got? I just entered 2 codes and after each one all that pops up is a "close detail" window, but I can't figure out what I got.

click on the my collection link. Also a picture and name of the card you recieved should have been in the details window.

There wasn't anything in the details box.

I had the same problem. I entered two codes, and nothing showed up. I went to My Collection, and it didn't show anything. Kinda worried. I sent them a message, so we'll see.

Happened to me. Just re-enter the codes.

This part from the website makes me sad:
Did your ‘58 Jackie Robinson' get tossed out?
Didn't anyone think to check if there actually was a '58 Jackie Robinson?

On the bright side, I do like that we apparently now have a fairly easy to use database of card images including backs. Maybe not all yet (no pic of 1952 #2 Runnels, for instance), but it's a good start. I'd like to work out what database ID numbers are the first and last card in each set.

wow, good call. I think it might make sense just to blanket it to like 600 and if you get the XML error file just toss it.

 

[TNP777]

I've been trying to find a link to a page that shows what has been redeemed to this point. Does such a page exist?

Site sure seems to be running a lot faster now, at least.

 

[ChasHawk]

Seems like it could be a cool promotion, but my question is, what now?

Is it even worth it to pay to have 95% of these cards shipped to you?

Are they stamped/embossed/marked in any way?

Otherwise who's going to pay $2-3 to have a 2001 Rey Ordonez shipped to them?

Rey Ordonez' mom.

You guys think each code is a predetermined card or is it just random?

RandomH, Random I'd Say

 

[Sean_C]

I was wondering that myself. I'd imagine that they are all individually predetermined, but who knows.

[blanning71]

I would have to say random as well. It would take a HUGE effort to put a card with every code. Then again, maybe not. Who knows?

Here's a quick hack.. god knows if it'll work, you can do the debugging if you're intereted.

<?php
// gets too messy, if you want it, pm me.
?>

that should get it done, methinks. There's no error handling, but I believe imagejpeg doesn't care all that much.
