My Shot at Gold from Topps' Golden Giveaway

After sorting through whatever cards I have so far from 2012 Topps (searching for a Master set on the 'Bay now thanks to getting my taxes done...it's a good thing I waited too as prices are down...), I have three cards from the Golden Giveaway to use on the new website.  The card says www.topps.com/golden, but using http://golden.toppscards.com/ seems to work too.


Let's see what this baby can do:

GGC-2:  nW3rF7Nw


Okay, not a bad start...will get a checklist up and running soon.

GGC-6:  kzPz438qb


Tampa Bay Rays coin.  So there are teams this year too.  Last one:

GGC-7:  t3SBbd9Tf


Now we're talking.  That's two HOF coins and a team coin.  According to the site, unlocking three coins gets you a free code.  I have two HOF coins and one team coin.  But it seems you need three of one group of coins to redeem the code.  Drats.

So the hunt continues.  The good news is that friend of the blog and all around good guy Craig Parker just sent me a complete set of 10 code cards for free.  The bad news (if you want to call it that), is that I promised I wouldn't use the codes on the cards.  Why?  Because the first 100 people to unlock 200 coins (no idea if it's supposed to be "unique" coins or just any 200 coins) will get the full set of 100 Golden Moments cards.  I get the feeling that there is going to be a rare coin somewhere.  Good luck to you Craig, and to all who are up or the challenge.

I just want my master set. And with the 10 card Giveaway set out of the way, finding one in my price range should be easy, right???

Sincerely,

JayBee Anama
