Thanks, but I don't want to celebrate too soon ....once I actually have it in hand, I'll be happier.
Yeah, the die cuts wre sent promptly ... I was a little surprised that Topps was so quick. I expected to wait a couple of weeks before they arrived! Very pleased with their die-cuts. I liked last years diamond die cuts a little more, but these are really nice.
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

I keep trying to order my cards to be sent to me but it says they are unavailable. Maybe I will check today. Congrats on the win!

Thanks!
Btw: I was getting that same "unavailable" message for about 2 weeks in a row, and then I gave up for a few days, then finally got the order screen and jumped on it. Maybe it was down due to the hurricane?

Congratulations, Mitch. It is always nice to see a member of the Beckett Community win something like this. Please post a pic if/when you get it.
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.

I tried it last night and was able to get the order so hopefully my cards will show up soon! Can't wait to see the 1/1 gold.

... I was close to giving up thinking it was impossible, but its not.
So I ordered it to be sent to me .... Surprise.... It's back ordered with no explaination
I am guessing that it isn't signed yet, or something? If that's true, that's kinda messed up.
Hopefully I don't have to wait another year to get the card.
BTW:
I had some of my other die cuts sent, and they did a great job with those. They're beautiful cards. If you haven't had them shipped to you, do it and you will be happy!
That's awesome. Mind if I ask how many codes you entered?
Always looking for Verlander, Cabrera, Maybin, Mike Stanton (marlins), and Avisail Garcia.

Thanks! I will as soon as it is shipped .... And if I use some of my topps redemptions as a guide, it could be a while before I'll ever get the chance.

No problem....
You're gonna laugh at me, but I guess I was a little obsessed ..... I entered around 450 codes. ..... And yeah, I've got a ton of Topps series 1,2 and update commons on my hands.

Congrats! Like I said, those die cut cards were sent quickly, so you should get them soon.
I forget ....Who is on your 1/1 gold card ?
