Just horrible website design. You should get an email telling you which card you won.

I just went through 31 scratch cards with one winner. Odds are much greater than 15-20%. More like 5%.

^^^ OUCH! On the bright side, since the odds are now closer to 5%, it won't effect topps now print runs by much at all. But one winner out of 31 scratch offs, well, that definitely sucks. Thank you for posting though.

5 codes and one winner # 103

It truly is horrible.

Is nobody else having issues w/the login? I can get to the page (and even enter a code), but literally EVERY time I log in, it ONLY takes me to my Account Dashboard. Then when I go to the ultimatecardgiveaway link I'm logged back out again. I hit "log in," it logs me in and takes me to dashboard and then repeat. I can't get it to say "My account" on the original page at which you enter the code.

Having the same issue but got an email telling me what card it will be.

Ok, glad I'm not the only one dealing with the first part. I definitely never got the email, though. No idea what the deal is. And there was no "Congratulations" like the site says there would be (did you guys get that?); there was only a "This code is a winner" at the top of the page. Nothing more, and no instructions.

I actually hit a link asking for password recovery about an hour before that and they said they'd send an email to that address giving the password but that STILL hasn't arrived (fortunately I remembered the password later). So much frustration.

You might be SOL. You have to be signed in, then enter the code.
Then it tells you if you won or not, then I would just hit the backspace and enter a new code. Definitely a PITA.

If somebody has a clue to what I need please direct me to the right location. I thank you so very much.

Top loader and penny sleeve is a good start and maybe into a team bag as well. They make cardboard boxes that will fit them though you might want to have something made that is water proof. I myself am grading the set so it is protected that way and displays nicely.

Though grading takes up a lot of room.

I'm on the fence about it. I like last years design more...and am definitely nervous to see how this looks on a horizontal card. Until I see a few more, I'm going to hold off on passing final judgement.

wilsonj12 · 02-15-2017, 02:16 PM

Weird that they don't post anything ahead of mailings reaching customers.

As someone who collects Cubs team sets, I am excited for an opening day set. Hopefully it's the entire roster + manager / coaches. That could close out my 2017 effort in quick order haha.

Just received mine in the mailbox. As far as the design goes, I won't say its a homerun but I like it. Will be buying a couple of team sets with the code for sure.

Better pics from eBay

I like the subtle '17 in the upper corner.

I like it Fred!

Hopefully mine will be in the mail as well. If all teams are getting an opening day set...wow, just wow that is awesome. But if I know Fred, he will do every team but the Phillies.

ketchupman36 · 02-15-2017, 05:03 PM

I'm guessing these cards are reaching people earlier than expected because I don't see anything about the team sets on Topps.com

I like the new design overall. I think that white bar should be a little more transparent but otherwise looks good.

joejoemay · 02-15-2017, 05:17 PM

I wonder if the 27 and OF and just place holders for the date...Not that I mind having the player's number on the card just think the date on the front is important

joejoemay · 02-15-2017, 05:24 PM

Also I wonder if they are all going to be Mike Trout...
