12 More from the Million Card Giveaway

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Better luck this time around but nothing much.  I like the old card (Hal Smith) and the Bonds card (I don't have it), but not enough to pay $3.50 to get them.

I want more lottery tickets.  I mean, I want more Topps packs.

12 Unlocked Cards from the Million Card Giveaway!

For the first twelve hours of February 15th the Topps site to unlock my cards was not working at all for me (and all others that posted in that time frame).  Then for the next five hours it would not allow me to complete registration.  But I'm in now and all is well.

I have 24 total to unlock.  I unlocked 12 and will save the rest for later tonight.  My virtual collection shall rule all virtual collections! Muahahahahaha!


















 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


















What a brilliant idea by Topps.  A marketing campaign that costs them almost nothing.

There is a sliver of a chance you will pull a valuable card.  That's all it takes for us to keep redeeming.  Nobody in their right mind would pay to have these cards sent to them.  It seems 99.9% of the cards will never be called upon.  Basically we redeem a picture.  It's still fun, I admit.

Every card here is for virtual trade.  Gimme Orioles cards of a similar year and we have a deal!  I plan on building an Orioles empire of cards and then I will attack other virtual collections.  Like in that game RISK.  So far I don't see a combat option though. Weird.

Topps is no Keith Richards (and that's a bad thing)

Although Keith Richards loved to pour a Jack Daniels at ten in the morning while muttering "It's five o'clock somewhere," Topps has decided that it's February 15th nowhere.

The Million Card Giveaway has already become the butt of "I told ya so" jokes.  Note the ashtray.  Insert failure there.
