Last week, the when the Million Card giveaway site had a countdown clock, it would have gone to zero a little over an hour ago. The disappearance of the clock should have been a warning, but no, like an idiot I was sitting here at my computer at 5:00 AM Central Time for nothing.
NOTHING. But, no big deal, I'm at work anyway.
Like many out there I'm getting all worked up over the 1989 Topps cards I'll be getting.
Can anyone spare an F5 key?
Still nothing here either. When the countdown script die3d that should have been a red flag. You can still see it in the page source though, TargetDate = "2/15/2010 5:00 AM";
ReplyDeleteI need to read your blog more closely, I wouldn't have had that nasty 1989 shock last night.
What I don't understand is that if every giveaway card has a serial number that is attached to a specific card that it will earn you, then does it really matter when you enter the code online? Is it just a matter of excitement or is there actually a first come first serve aspect to the giveaway?
ReplyDeleteTo answer Nicolax's question --
ReplyDeleteCARDS CARDS CARDS GIMMIE GIMMIE NOW
Also: the cynic in me thinks that a few massive star cards will be given away early to create buzz.
I question whether the codes are tied to specific cards. But I'm questioning a lot these days. I agree with Dayf, there should be some good cards go soon and when that hits the boards/blogs/ebay whatever, it'll drive pack/box sales. We're all cattle in Topps eyes.
ReplyDeleteI think when we enter the code it will say "Congratulations! You have won the card in your hand! Not the card pictured, the actual card you pulled that was supposed to translate into a real card!" Why not? I've had good autos replaced with terrible ones so anything is possible.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to think we are going to win eTopps cards instead.
ReplyDeleteWOW we were riled up back then.
