I had Judge hitting a HR yesterday!! Do I need to do anything or they'll just mail me the card eventually?

We may be getting cards this year that look awful with printed serial numbered winners and not gilded. Who knows

We still have never had a month have a full set of winners. Still possible for July/Augut. Just need 7 more and will get all 30 players. Thats something to look forward to. Maybe even shoot for getting both months 30/30.

I am technically playing, but very casual. I am not buying up an abundance of codes to play everyday like the first two years. The code cards aren't worth anything, so no reason not to play what I have. Even now I have only put in 3 days and just have a few winners. So nothing like the last two years.

Soto thinks he had a false positive. Probably playing soon.

I am 2 out of 11 w/ one postponed game so actually 2/10. Pretty much the same % than last year where I ended up with ~24%.

Not sure if this is good, med or bad. Any comp?

I just tried again (7:05AM EST) and apparently still has not been fixed.
Got an email response back from Topps CS (ON SUNDAY!) and they claim it says in T&C it's 7AM EST - which is clearly not true based on 07/23 update of T&Cs. This was after phone CS confirmed Thursday it should be 9AM EST.
Just as I said... typical Topps' cluster%^&*.
I'm sure they'll get it straight around beginning of October.

2 weeks in, 4 weeks left for the July/August period.

Share the wealth, if you got one, I'd appreciate it you let someone else have one.

Bugger. Didn’t play Bryant for the first time because I thought he’d still be out (and was batting .120). Pop goes the cork.

LINX84 · 08-03-2020, 10:37 PM

First time playing actually tried to enter the names yesterday for yeaterdays game but i guess you have to enter then 24 hour before.

Yeah, the day before.
They claim in the Official Rules that it’s 9am on the day of, but they screwed up the implementation (for the three years in a row now) and it appears to stop accepting codes at 3am on the day of the game.

I got codes to submit 2:50AM EST for Tuesday games then tried AFTER 3AM EST... codes worked....
So at least it appears cut off was at least extended until 4AM EST. Maybe we should at least be grateful for babysteps?
If it had worked yesterday I would have landed Arenados first dinger- he was overdue.
Tempted to play Trout Tuesday. Angels reactivated him but I didn't know if he would get the start.

In previous years I was about 1 in every 7 but Joey Votto was bringing my average down badly.

Zeldafanatic15 · 08-04-2020, 01:37 PM

Thanks to Mikejones here I have JD Martinez today, plus a Twitter friend gave me an Alonso I decided to play for today. Fingers crossed, but either way I've had fun so far, never expected to already have 2 wins when I started with not many codes. LOL

I have JD tonight also, along with Tatis and Acuna...

Totally forgot I entered in all my codes until I saw this thread.
Looks like I've already hit Judge, George Springer, and Joey Gallo!
