Mine shows that too. I'm thinking they didn't even get made yet so they have to go back to the drawing board. And there were 9 Yordan homers in August, coupled with tons of codes for him = over 500 winner cards to be made.

Yeah my Yordan is now listed as "refunded"
This had to have happened very, very recently just because I just checked earlier today and it was still in process.
My gut reaction... @#%# NO this ain't gonna fly!

The Astros are my PC and this card would likely be sub 100 PR. They're gonna have to figure out a way to get me (us) the card.
It took them till September to get me my April COTM... they gonna make it happen!

I am that annoying persistent customer when I've been wronged.

When I do get it I'll share method and pic.

Any ideas on when the Sept/Oct winners will ship?

BINGO.

Yes- a new order only for August Yordan's has populated this morning. All 3 of mine are there. Didn't hit the Aug 7th NBCD so that wording isn't there, but it looks like we'll get these sooner than September.

Juanny Chico · 11-16-2021, 09:17 AM

Things are moving again!
The August Yordans have shipped ( Arriving Thurs) & September's order has populated. This order includes the October winners and looks to be the same line item as September ( so no October Parallels). Nothing else missing or out of the ordinary

My order was missing the Guerrero I thought I won on 9/6. So I went back to the entries and it wasn't there either. Apparently that Guerrero code came up as somebody else and I didn't notice at the time. Grrr. So I will be looking to trade my extra September Harper for a September Guerrero once they get delivered.

Awesome, thanks Johnny. I still have lots to trade from prior years too if you're trying to go back and get any.

Juanny Chico · 11-27-2021, 07:06 PM

Purples have emerged. I don’t think many orders have shipped yet but some are popping up.

OnCardAutograph · 11-29-2021, 01:34 PM

I got my purple /157 Soto from Topps delivered today, but wondering when the Soler and Schwarber cards will ship. Weird that they split the order up like that.

Pinch hit HR in the 9th.

Juanny Chico · 12-04-2021, 06:56 PM

I received my September order today. All cards shipped but the 5 players who got traded during the year. Hopefully they come in another package later as my Topps order still says "Processing". I dont think ive seen any of these 5 on eBay from September so i dont think im alone. ( Baez, Gallo, Schwarber, Soler and Bryant).

Heres the up to date and almost final spreadsheet!

September had HUGE numbers, even without the 5 players above. Its has the most winners of the 6 months. Only 3 players hit under /100 print run. Yelich with the low at /34.

I was able to get all the winners this year (minus the 5 September players we're waiting on). Unfortunately i didn't win all of them personally but had to purchase a few of the oddball winners Topps threw us this year- luckily they showed up for purchase but at a pretty high cost. Ill continue to update this thread untill all winners have been received. Below are some pictures of a few runs id like to share!
No word if this is coming back next year, but they have been known to add this promotion pretty late before the release of Flagship.

Betts-Lowest complete 6 month Rainbow

All 5 NBCD variations

The July Baez Different team

The hardest SOB to make. Would of been great if Yelich hit a HR in April

OnCardAutograph · 12-08-2021, 02:39 PM

Has there been any explanation from Topps as to why some the the last set of winners is delayed?

OnCardAutograph · 12-16-2021, 09:19 AM

I got an email on Dec.15 that my Soler and Schwarber winners for Sept. have shipped. Looking forward to getting those soon.

OnCardAutograph · 12-19-2021, 09:33 AM

I don't have mine delivered yet, bit it looks like September Soler will be /823

I got my last 5 today, including K. Bryant 17/23 (jersey number with the Cubs, although not with the Giants.)

**BIG NEWS**
I occasionally check the Topps Promotions page and as of today they have updated the HRC Rules link to "2022 Home Run Challenge".

https://www.topps.com/media/pdf/Topp..._Rules2022.pdf

There's been no word about HRC this year, but this should confirm it returns! The rules have some key info thats been updated for '22.

Up to 50 players on the checklist
Can only select dates for current month (..and the following month)
NEW DOUBLE DOWN FEATURE

**Double down features a choice to "Double Down" which selects you are betting your player hits a home run OVER 425 FEET. If you win, you receive a "special" parallel. If the HR travels less than 425 ft, you win nothing.
*Rules also state-"There will be one (1)
set of special “Double Down” parallel cards for the entire 2022 Major League
Baseball regular season", but the standard none double down winners will be different for each month.

Heres some news about HRC insert odds:
2020 stated insert print run: Series 1-478,000 + Series 2-285,500= 763,500
2021 stated insert print run: Series 1- 764,800 + Series 2- 456,800= 1,221,600
2022 stated insert print run: Series 1-1,735,679 + Series 2- 1,018,570 = 2,754,249

(thats a BIG boost from 2021 volume)

GET READY FOR YEAR 5!!!- i will follow up with a new thread when checklist and/or more definitive info comes out

Juanny Chico · 02-01-2022, 09:47 AM
