Topps million card giveaway.

[DaleMurphyCollector]

Dont worry, when it goes live I am going to try my damnedest to attempt to get everyone to enter their cards and if they suck, send them to FCB

If you wouldn't have deleted my signature a week or so ago, John, I would send you all I've got. I even gave you a ride to the airport!

I had my stack ready to enter this morning and its not up yet...

Apparently it will be up Tuesday. Presidents Day is a holiday for the lazy USPS and about 10% of the country and apparently Topps.

I bet last minute snafus at Topps because you'd think they could have set it up/tested it in the last few months and then just put the website on a timer to go live at midnight.

I haven't been too excited about this program, the 2001 Elite RC fiasco put me off this kind of deal. But after watching the video, I'm in.

I like how, after all the HOF RCs, they have Garry Maddox leading off a sort of facial hair gallery.

Is anyone else having problems with the site? the toppsmillion.com address that is on the cards is now redirecting me to toppscards.com, which still just has the Beginning Feb 15th promo image on it.

I've been able to enter three codes so far...and I'm pretty happy.

- Checklist Card 1966
- Milt Pappas 1967
- Pete Rose 1987

- Checklist Card 1966

I don't suppose they've made any claims as to condition, have they? Because if this is unchecked, it could be worth quite a bit.

 

[goldenegg1]

I have 31 redemptions to enter.
I will have to wait until the traffic slows down.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Think I'll wait, too. Not surprising the site is getting overloaded.

I take it Topps went to the majors of the hobby for purchase rights, so the condition of the card is probably what you would typically find it from those dealers if you were looking at their website/catalog or phoning to inquire about availability of a card like that.

EDIT: I went to a site that Topps might have used for a resource and found four checklist cards for 1966 - all under card #400 - unmarked, NR-MT for $6 or less.

btw, is Toppscards.com the redirect for a busy toppsmillion.com site? I have tried 5 times to get to toppsmillion and keep getting redirected.

Yeah, I think you're right about the purchase rights. I just hadn't thought of the possibility of a checklist card. Those cards from the 50s and 60s can be worth a ton if unmarked.

I get all the way to the register screen and then....just sits there with a blank screen. Will try again tomorrow.

1. Alan Trammell 1981

[nyc3]

it took me only 20 mins to register :lol: I think I may have to wait, I am not in the mood to wait for the page to refresh for hours.

 

[DaleMurphyCollector]

Is there some strategy in waiting to enter your codes, afterall, they aren't going to give away all the huge cards on the first day. Or, are the cards corresponding to the codes already predetermined?
