I've read numerous boards that are trying to crack this year's Ginter Code. I know Nick Jacoby of Cardboard Overload (you know him, he's the guy that won it last year and has a card in this year's A & G set to show for it) has said that he believes he has cracked it, but isn't sure that he was the first to respond back to do so.
With that in mind, and realizing that I have no shot in heck to win this year, I read on a board that there are no obvious code cards in this year's set. So even though people have been scrutinizing over sailor cards, or celestial cards, or the zodiac, or even the boxes themselves, apparently, none are going to help crack the code.
What I also read that if you follow the instructions on the actual code contest card (which is e-mailing code@topps.com), you'll get an automated response, whether or not you actually solved it.
Okay, so I e-mailed them and look what I got back in return...

I love comments. Please leave comments!!! (Ego, hush). Just keep your words clean (I show my kids this stuff), and the comment will be accepted.
If you must leave a comment anonymously, that's fine too. Although I wish you wouldn't. I'd like to get to know the people who actually read this humble little blog.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,

Yes, that's the code, but you need more than just that to solve it! :)
