Have you ever read the redemption terms on the back of a Topps box?

If you're from Canada, you have to solve a simple math problem first. If you're from Quebec, you aren't eligible at all.

Is this some legal requirement or does Topps hate Canadians, especially French-Canadians?

Some areas it is illegal maybe Quebec is one of them?

I remember seeing something like that for a 1994 Collector's Choice redemption card, so it's nothing new.

I believe it has something to do with sweepstakes being illegal through the mail in Canada. By answering a simple math question, someone in Canada is then eligible to receive the card - thus it's not a sweepstakes award, instead it's a prize for correctly answering the question. It's the loophole that card companies use to get around stupid provincial laws.
