Have you guys been redeeming your Topps Million Card Giveaway codes?

[Linn]

Best I received out of the 10 I redeemed was a 1956 common and a 1964 Felipe Alou. All of mine were cards issued between 1956 and 1979.

I had 73 of the of the cards. Redeemed 3 of them for "pure junk". Decided to keep one of the 10 card sets for my collection (unredeemed) and put the other 60 cards up on eBay in 10 card set form. They all sold for a total of $212!! (AVG. - $35.33 per set) Best move I've made in quite awhile!!!

They are spread throughout 2010 Topps products - hobby & retail.
Topps Series 2 cards will include redemptions for original T206 cards.
Cards can't be shipped until March 15th I believe. Not sure of S&H cost.

What condition are the vintage cards in? And is Topps re-,aking these cards or did they buy them or have them in their vault? I opened one hobby box and threw all the million card give away cards in the garbage. I feel like such an idiot!!

The condition of the vintage cards is the big question. No one is going to know for sure until they receive the actual card in hand. As for the cards, they are all original cards, not reprints and will not be marked in any way as buybacks or part of the giveaway, according the Topps website.

I redeemed 116 total cards. Total investment $125. I hope it was worth it to redeem them rather than flip them for 3x the purchase price. It has been lots of fun so far. I especially enjoy the 50+ most ridiculous trade offers you could ever imagine that I get everyday! LOL. I happen to redeem 100 of mine during the 50's frenzy they had about a week ago, which lasted 1/2 hr. I was just in the right place at the right time. I got 7 52s and 77 /100 of my cards were between the years of 52-56. I have since been trading to acquire 55s and 56s. I've roughly 25% of the 55 set and 18% of the 56 set. If anyone wants to trade 55's or 56s, please let me know what you have and what you'd like back. I have a few 52s and 53s left that I would consider trading. I also have some other years 65-80 that I would trade more heavily in your favor for the 55 or 56s.

Thanks! Oh - here are the cards I have:

I just unlocked a 1979 Topps Larry Hisle... common card. That is my only card so far. If I do get a nice card, though, do any of you know how much for approximate shipping on one card? I just need some more of those code cards now.
