Topps Coin cards promo
Has anyone received their $1,000,000 chase promotion coin/auto cards yet? Just wondering. I'm supposed to get 2 coin cards, A Ted Williams and a Sandy Koufax, But the "processing" notice has been unchanged for over a month now.
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.

Thanks, but Sorry, I don't think I'd ever trade it ... Actually, I may request for the Koufax card to be buried with me

Thanks! I agree ... Nicest special cards ever. They would look pretty nice in your card holders!
All it takes is putting together a streak of 10 consecutive hits... Seems easy, but I just had a 9 streak going good ... One more to go for another coin and freakin' Ryan Zimmerman pinch hit and blew it .... Ending my chances.
YOU OWE ME ZIMMERMAN!!!!
3 weeks ago, Machado screwed me over, too! Had another shot at 10 ... He goes 0-4! I think they're in cahoots with Topps!
As far as going for the $1,000,000 .... No way anyone will come close. The longest streak so far is 37. Mathematically possible but highly improbable.

Thanks.
If that's the case, might as well not try anymore ... Unless there are autos available for a 15 game streak.
The best I ever had was a 14 game streak ... That was a tough one to lose. Missed an auto by 1.

I struggled to get the 10 and got nothing for it so I gave up
I preferred last years gimmick even though it seemed impossible to finish a set of coins
