Goldschmidt DD numbered to 21: https://www.ebay.com/itm/33552752999...mis&media=COPY

[Juanny Chico]

Thanks for the input everyone- All accounted for. See totals for April Golds. I did exclude the 1/1s and /5s as im not sure what to do with them yet.
Another observation is that this year they did include HRs hit at exactly 425ft as a double down winner. That was not the case in 2022 and 2023.

These two cards were both in my pack of winners. Sorry, I can't get the two images to flip right-side up.

realized the other day that I hit correct on Lindor on 7/24

I cant believe I didn't find this forum a long time ago. I have been heavily into collecting double down cards since they originated in 2022. Just got myself caught up on the old threads, and the new, and boy I wished I had seen some of this sooner to say the least. I am curious though, I am shooting for a complete set, I know its next to impossible and I am still a ways away, but does anyone out there actually have all 182 cards from the last 2 years? Upon looking at the 2023 thread I noticed a Jrod hasn't come to light yet, which just shows how rare some of these really are. Which is why I want to go for a "set" like this because its a near impossible goal, that I will likely never get, rather than collect something like a complete set of case hits for example, that Ill drop a grand and it wont mean much to me, or be a unique collection. Also to wrap up my first forum comment, WHAT WAS TOPPS THINKING WITH THE /5 and 1/1

Welcome! I am missing ten of the double downs from 2023 but have all the regular winners. I know Juanny has me beat.

For 2022 I have them all but three, the September DD Acuna, the Judge HR 61 and the June DD Perez, which we're not sure was even made.

[timber63401]

Any guesses on when they will ship out May winners?

Check out the 2022 thread when you get a chance. Just posted a surprise. I am missing a lot of the mid rarity ones, I have the rare ones like the /11 Baez, and have all the /70+ ones, but am missing a lot of the mid end ones. I am also missing the Judge 61 as well, but unlike you two I am more like 90% complete, missing a number of other ones

[bbteamw]

It looks like both the regular winners and the DDs have separate /5 and /1 variations.

Welcome! Thanks for the confirmation on the 2022 Perez. I also wasn't sure it existed. That is the only 2022 winner I am personally missing. For 2023 I have all winners but for 3 double downs, all from August. I'm missing Julio, Harper/20 and Riley /37 (which I have won but order is still in limbo). This makes me think there has got to be others like mine from 2023 that still need to ship.

[spuds1961]

I better get my butt moving I have 38 unscratched entries to use.

Does the status change from Winner to shipped on Topps site?

Have any May winners been shipped yet?

Yes- so far, up through July 2024, all your winner codes have flipped to "WINNER" status. Orders have populated for each given month through July 2024 and are in the "Processing" stage until they are shipped. Then the order will change to "Complete". Currently they have shipped and completed only through April 2024.
Further- if your code isnt a winner the wording still says "In-Process". Eventually these should change to "Non-Winner". Currently, All codes March-July either say "Winner" or "In-Process" (Loser)

[ScottBreaks]

Been pretty bad at guessing this season. Have only hit on Corbin Carrol so far. Just redeemed a Bryce Harper, have Aaron Judge left and Tatis if he actually returns in September.

[Matesamo]

This thread reminded me I still have a Bo Bichette and Juan Sotos to redeem - time to look at the schedule....

And Brichette is trying to return from injury. Shoot, lol.

[Juanny Chico]

Adding August HR count. Only September remains. Its been about 1 month since April shipments so I'm hoping May gets sent this week.

[bbteamw]

[Juanny Chico]

May winner shipments are starting to head out. Just received tracking but not in the system yet.

[Rcoronoman]

First May cards just hit eBay. Acuna /104 and Freeman /251. And they’re gold again, not pink like previous years.

My order should arrive tomorrow so I’ll update with print runs.

I see the same thing. Looks like the May colored parallel is the same gold as April. This is setting the trend for all 6 months having the same parallel but just a different print run? Who knows if they’ll include the extra parallels of pink and blue again. My order also arrives tomorrow.

[Juanny Chico]

Mail arrived and can confirm there isnt any difference between April and May other than wording on back and S#. I got "lucky" again and got a pink double down /5 Arozarena which replaced my Gold Double Down
It certainly appears we'll be getting the same gold parallels for all 6 months + the chance at a pink/blue

Do we still think the parallels are unintentional?
