Carlos..the backs are all the same for all the cards, i did come up with a plane reference while
researching barnstormers.

I have edited my post above to include all the info I have on the team orange minis. Again
if anyone can check my work that would be great. Hopefully we can fill in the gaps
by tonight.

Maybe the number of bolded letters on the back of each team orange card corresponds to a letter. For example, 1=A, 2=B etc. For 28, it would be "B" as after 26 it loops back around. Then, possibly if those letters are plugged into the numbers on the World Victory cards, something might spell out. Just a thought.

Ok for those that are into this stuff Allen Ginter came out yesterday with this crack the code contest with the winner getting an A&G card next year. Most code cards are on eBay, I want to take a stab at this with the help of everyone on here. I was bored tonight and compiled an excel spreadsheet...here is my theory on this...I still do not have all the cards since they haven't been posted on eBay yet but I have 18 of the 20 and codes for 10. My theory is this, all these cards are great moments in history...thus by putting the cards in order of history, then write the code in that order. There are numbers on most of the cards and I'm guessing you count over that many letters and that is your letter you circle...now on the bottom there is an arrow going the other way thus go backwards and start with the most recent history card and use the same pattern backwards. Here's what I have so far, if you guys have any codes be sure to post them in here by replying...I think we are onto something but it is going to take a lot of time and people to have some crazy ideas and some free time to try different codes...If you want more info check out the Topps site about what this is.

I have an idea:

There are 20 Greatest Victories cards.

The Greatest Victories cards have a little window on the back with the arrow.

That means they make a rectangle that is 2 x 10, and the way the arrow point correspond to which are the ENDS of the rectangle.

X O X X X X X X X X -- first row of World Victories
X O X X X X X X X X -- second row of World Victories
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 -- Team orange cards

It would look like that if you laid them out. The Os use the same Orange card.

Alright I just started looking at these this morning, not to brag but I have always been extraordinarily good at codes/riddles. What all do we know so far? I see schmidtfan is getting quite a bit of info on them. Do we know if it's a substitution code or not yet?

Also I have pictures of all the backs except for

World Victories
1, 4, 6, 12, 14 backs

Team Orange
1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 backs

can anybody help me with these pics? I'll post any others that anybody needs, I'm working on 1 big picture with all the fronts and backs but need those above

[catfishhunterfan2711]

if you could scan each individual so we can get a better look at them to see if there is any oddities on the backs and fronts. If you can scan the front and back of each card together. Thanks

Heres 2 more that I have..

[ace3m]

I have pictures individually of the front and back, and also 1 for each card with the front and back next to each other of the following:

World Victories:
2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20

Team Orange:
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10

and the fronts of all of them

I need the remaining backs and I will post them all individually & together

Thanks for those other 2 scans

i found this on topps website:

Once all 20 cards are collected, they can be formatted as a group to reveal a secret message.


We have to figure out how to group them. I think the all go in a row since there are 2 start/stops on the arrows...one on top and one on bottom.

can anyone make anything out of this:
