Again, the set will be distributed to the first 10,000 fans who go through the turnstiles before four specific games as follows:

Cards 1-20 will be given out on Fri. May 3 vs. Cincinnati Reds

Cards 41-60 will be given out on Fri. August 2 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Cards 61-82 will be given out on Fri. August 30 vs. Philadelphia Phillies

I am really looking forward to seeing these and making the attempt either to get to the games or go on the Bay to get them. Thanks for the tip Tim. I wonder if eBayer mediaguides is still around...

Hey Cub Fans!!! Topps Has Card Giveaways in 2013!!!

For the first time since 2004, Topps and the Chicago Cubs are reuniting to giveaway cards during select home games. According to Topps' Twitter account, an 82-card set of what looks like exclusive Topps Archives cards that will be given out over 4 home games in 2013.

Here is a scan of the cards (in sheet form):

Looks like there will be a variety of years (I see 1996, 1990, 1987, 1984, 1982, 1979, 1972, 1971, 1965, 1964, 1963, and 1962) here.

According to the Cubs' website, the first 10,000 fans in attendance will get these sets. The dates:

Friday, May 3, 2013 vs. Cincinnati Reds
Friday, July 5, 2013 vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Friday, August 2, 2013 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Friday, August 30, 2013 vs. Philadelphia Phillies

As much as I'd prefer to have the reprint card program return (similar to the giveaways from 2001-2004), this is a nice alternative. At 82 cards, it's going to be a fun set to go after. No word yet as to how the cards will be distributed.

Now I'm off to see if the other 29 teams are going to have similar giveaways. Or at least that Topps will be involved in somehow.

Sincerely,

JayBee Anama

P.S.: Tim, sorry, I get my 66's and 65's mixed up sometimes. It is now fixed.
