Thanks, I was just reading that part. Guess we'll see, but probably better to just play everything early at this point.

Now I feel like a jerk saying everyone was probably going to get it at some point.

So which picture are they using for the winning cards? Noticed S1 and S2 have different photos

[spuds1961]

Should I do a code dump and use all 35 I have left in 1 to 3 days or wait it out and hope the season continues.

Quick questions
- do I receive multiple copies if I hit on multiple games with the same player during one month/period?
- if so is it also possible to register multiple codes for one player for a single game?

1) Yes
2) I believe yes, but I'm not 100%

Last year I won several cards from a single day with a single player.

In previous years I have done this accidentally. So yes in previous years. I have not done that yet this year.

[ThisGuy]

I'll drop in Machado this weekend in Colorado. Can't play Alvarez yet. Haven't decided when to play Betts, though with the marlins outbreak pressure is on to play everybody soon.

[FluidArc]

I put in my code for Francisco Lindor for yesterday's game, which got rain delayed. In the first game today of their make-up doubleheader, he goes deep. Pretty upset right now...

Glad I entered them for today. Guerrero Jr. homered, just gotta hope for Muncy tonight. So far I'm 2/3 this year.

Baez on the board - with two today.

Where are the final rules of this that state July and August are grouped?

I am about to sell off a bunch of codes but looking at the linked rules, I don't see it stating the two months are combined. Nor did the rules I came across from google, state it either. Has July, August and Sept by themselves.

Any help to an actual confirmed topps link before I sell some??

"features its own, unique parallel card set, with only parallel cards for the months of July, August and September being awarded as prizes in the Promotion"

Thank you.

Pretty good year so far, already have around 30 Winners.

Still curious about D1 and S2 being different photos...

Not that it matters but you are still wrong
The second link isn't to what you linked. It is the original Covid rules, not the CovidUpdate723 version you linked.

Go to the HRC competition page.
Click on the "Official Rules" link.
When they relaunched it first, it linked to the original covid rules pdf. Within two days they changed the doc it links to.

So apparently I cannot select a player up until 9am EST the day if the game... despite what official rules are saying.
7/30 is blocked out and it is approximately 7AM EST.
I'm trying to play a Trout card because he has great numbers again the starting Seattle pitcher.
Once again Topps outdoes themselves with making this a cluster@#%^.

I've added a 3rd link of updated rules to the OP. That should cover all rules we've seen so far, although there are still errors in it. They still list 35 players in the set and a 9am same day entry period, both are incorrect.

If its any consolation, i have added codes at 2:30am est time this week and those did work.

I tried adding at 4:35am EST and couldn’t. Sounds like the cutoff is still the same as last year, which was 3am EST if I remember correctly.

[katho]

so do you have to wait until the end of the season to get your card????
