Has Topps Scrapped the Bowman Prospect Challenge? - Page 6

darkman · 07-29-2013, 01:55 PM

So how is everyone doing going into the final month? Just lost 1st place but I knew it was going to happen as I didn't hit on any promotions this month.. I think the new leader is a member here.. Congrats!

xbignick · 07-29-2013, 01:56 PM

So August isn't part of it? Was going to give it another try and hope they fixed it.

darkman · 07-29-2013, 02:03 PM

Yeah.. I believe Aug is the last month

Dbott1234 · 07-29-2013, 02:15 PM

I'm doing pretty well this month. I wanted Grant Green and Cosart, but didn't have them on my lists. I don't know if they are even on the game, but I figured they should be.

You would think they would run it into September since there will be a ton of call-ups. Actually that might make sense for Topps. More promotions equals more work.

darkman · 07-29-2013, 02:24 PM

I'm glad it's ending in August cause I only have like 30 guys on my roster and almost half have been promoted at some point this year so I'm running low on options for August as for guys who realistically can be promoted or are doing well

Noob question alert:

I have six Blue Wave packs heading my way. What are the odds for an auto or Red Wave?

nadeauman33 · 07-29-2013, 02:33 PM

I'm sitting 100 points from 10 got killed this month by Hultzen and singleton. Really hoping to have a big August to break top 10.

Don't think there are red waves in these packs. I had two packs and hit a Nolan Fontana Auto. I don't think the odds should be too bad.

No. Those are 2013; you're getting 2012 packs.

darkman · 07-29-2013, 02:45 PM

I'm just trying to stick in the top 10 all time... Would be really cool to win a bowman victory prize.. Btw, anyone have any thoughts on these? Rarity, value, Etc?

Ah. That's why I'm a noob. How do you get 2013 packs?

stormshadow815 · 07-29-2013, 02:47 PM

No red waves in this set. This set is based off the 2012 Bowman Draft Set.

Only 5 people signed 100 auto's for this as well. Nick Williams, Nolan Fontana, Matt Smoral, Pat Light and Austin Aune. Odds are close to around 1/10 for an auto.

Hope this helps..... Also if anyone needs singles or a set of this let me know. I have a bunch.

You cant, those were wrapper redemptions and are long gone.

I'm so behind in the prospecting game. Haha.

Cactuspies · 07-29-2013, 02:55 PM

I had to email the dingleberries last week. I had 12 new codes I put in, was only able to select 2 new guys then it just froze on the same 4 guys. Then I couldn't edit August. Finally this weekend I was able to edit one guy in August and pick my last 10 guys, all of who came out to be Gausman & courtney hawkins somehow, even though I already had both and I picked someone else...so I have gausman on my roster 11 times and hawkins 8! Don't ask how any of that happened!

Noah0298 · 07-29-2013, 03:11 PM

I just happened to check the prospect challenge after seeing this thread was bumped again and what do you know, I'm #10! So does anyone have any info about the cards that you receive as a monthly winner?

Keyser Soze · 07-29-2013, 03:31 PM

2 free codes for someone:

ZRB7PMWF

I don't know if they can still be utilized, but please respond if you use them so others don't waste their time trying

Got them. Thanks.

darkman · 08-01-2013, 08:38 PM

Last month. Woot Woot... submitted a September roster just in case... who knows if they could mess this up

Yes..I'm wondering why there is a September option, the official rules say August is the last month but it carries over until the minor league season ends, which is like Sept 3rd. If we are able to set a September lineup, everyone would just go with September 1 call ups I guess.

I have not gotten my May "7th place" set, and it looks like I was 4th last month. I too wonder about these "bowman victory" cards. No one knows what or who they will be...I'm in third place overall and hope a few of the guys I played for August can get promoted and keep me in the top 3...

darkman · 08-13-2013, 06:11 PM

I hope it ends in August cause Sept will be crazy with call ups! I hit on Matt Davidson this week which I'm sure nit many people expected.. Lucked out there

Yeah I set my lineup with who I thought would be "guaranteed September callups" plus Travis D'arnaud, not thinking they would have a "September" option...The "official rules" stated that the August lineups were the last ones to be set and it would carry into September. Oh well. I'm slipping now in the standings, as none of my guys except D'arnaud will probably get called up before 8/31. And so it goes.

darkman · 08-13-2013, 06:33 PM

I think any prize in this thing is a win so I wouldn't sweat it...I hope the victory cards are like the codebreaker cards.. That would be cool
