Hi Mike.

mreuter · March 27, 2008 11:00AM

Sounds like you can sign up online to get the packs if you don't have a store near you. Is this right?

zep33 · March 27, 2008 11:06AM

Hi Nick

yes but looks like the you can't fill out the form until Saturday

tedh111 · March 27, 2008 1:28PM

If anyone lives in NJ, our store will be giving out free packs and other stuff all day long... It should be a fun event.

mreuter · March 28, 2008 6:59AM

Just a bump so I remember this tomorrow.

zep33 · March 28, 2008 8:00AM

got my cards tonight, it appears every pack is the same. Nice player selection though.

Cards 1 through 6 are Topps and 9 though 14 are Upper Deck (not sure about what happened to 7 and 8) maybe random insert?

I did get 2 packs that were identical and we looked through the box and every pack appeared to be the same (see through wrapper with same card on the back of all of them)

However, the advertising poster in the store showed a different rookie(UD) than the one I got so there must be some variations inside.

I'll post scans if anyone wants to see them

zep33 · March 28, 2008 6:23PM

The link is up for the free cards.

Bosox1976 · March 28, 2008 7:36PM

Thanks for the link.

MeteoriteGuy · March 28, 2008 9:35PM

Got mine.....or at least it says I did.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · March 28, 2008 10:39PM

I signed up. Tried again with different email for my other son but it would'nt let me. Guess I'll try from another computer here at work.

Happy Baseball Card Day !!!!

gumbyfan · March 29, 2008 2:08AM

Not surprising, crook.

zep33 · March 29, 2008 2:25AM

stopped by 3 different shops today looking for more Opening Day.

No free cards offerered at any of them and noticed 1 shop selling those Topps Trading card history cards that are supposed to be free every week for 25 cents a piece.

lame

Doesn't surprise me, last year after National Trading Card Day, there were card shops selling them by the hundreds on Ebay.

MeteoriteGuy · March 29, 2008 7:43AM

Stopped by my local shop and picked up a 1990 and 1991 Topps Factory Hockey sets for $5 each (why not) and pick up a free pack of National Baseball Card Day cards.

I got in my pack Topps National Baseball card day cards #1-5 & 8. Topps cards included a Daric Barton RC, A-Rod, David Wright, Ryan Howard,

The UD cards pick up the numbering from last year and are numbered UD9-UD15. They included Albert Pujolt, Ken Griffey Jr. and a Chin Ling Hu RC.

Not sure if I was just missing Topp #6 and #7 of it they did not make them. Guess I will learn more then the website pack shows up.

Clear Skies,
Mark

Can you send me the wrappers? I am working on a bar in my basement and want it covered with wrappers.

the wrappers are just clear plastic. My son got a pack today at the card shop.

RawPlusSlabbed · March 29, 2008 8:36AM

<<

All wrappers are fine. I collect all kinds. I also collect unused pieces of gum. I also will take NM or better commons from all years that people would like to give away from free. Preferably the gum and commons would come from the same year as the wrappers. I would like my "bar" to have an authentic theme. The only thing I would ask is that for the commons only 1 in 12 or 1 in 15 have a wax stain on the back. This depends on the year and the corresponding numbers that came in each pack. Again, I want my "bar" to be as authentic as possible.

Thanks to all, Gary

this is just clear plastic wrap though, like on a twinkie or something. Do not think you want it.

You can't beat that. Breaking those open and looking at the cards is worth $5 on its own. Nice work.

ping4u43 · March 29, 2008 11:25AM

Check your local Toys "R" Us store. They have The Yankee Stadium Legacy packs.

sdwetzel · March 29, 2008 12:26PM

I was in my local card shop today and i totally forgot about asking about the pack

I'm sure they will have them for sale tomorrow

NickM · March 29, 2008 12:40PM

rexvos - he was making fun of Gary (80sJunkie), who is a pack resealer and who asked for vintage wrappers, claiming he was going to use them for a bar.

Happy global Basketball day!

DavidPuddy · April 19, 2008 5:43AM

Has anyone ever received their free pack of cards?

MeteoriteGuy · April 19, 2008 6:02AM

Not me (meaning the free website pack).

DavidPuddy · April 19, 2008 6:42AM

Not a big deal, but I thought after you filled out the form it said you would receive your pack within 10 days.

zep33 · April 19, 2008 6:45AM

LOL it sure did. I forgot all about that

bhl2359 · April 19, 2008 6:54AM

Never got mine either

NYYanks23 · April 19, 2008 1:35PM

I havn't gotten mine either.

mdkuom · April 19, 2008 1:50PM

never got mine

gumbyfan · April 20, 2008 12:16AM

Nothing here yet.

Karb · April 20, 2008 12:18AM

What the hell?!?! I forgot all about the cards. LOL

and5zac · April 20, 2008 12:21AM

No cards here!

Lou

bigfische · April 20, 2008 12:28AM

me neither, though it doesnt matter to me, i can imagine that there may be some dissapointed non-collectors who were interested in getting some cards. Way to promote the hobby MLB.

brian26 · April 20, 2008 1:33AM

With everyone ordering multiple packs under different email addresses, any chance they dont have enough to cover the demand?

Overrated · April 20, 2008 1:37AM

Did not get mine! not a good way to promote the hobby.

knucklehead · April 20, 2008 4:23AM

I have not recd my packs either. I'll be patient a little longer.

Sorry, don't have time for a road trip this week.

Nice shop

Great ideal Zep. I think we all have suffered almost incalculable emotional damages, but just almost....I think a box of premium product from each company for each of us sounds fair

Barfvader · April 21, 2008 1:04AM

Totally forgot about them as well and never received mine either.

clydecoolidge · April 21, 2008 6:44AM

I haven't received my free pack yet. I did however, notice the 14th post on the first page of this thread. Who would've thought, the slightest mention of the word "pack," and out it crawls. Pitiful.

F1ferrari · April 21, 2008 6:54AM

I had totally forgotten about the free cards. Yep, that 'baseball card day' worked out really well.

Maybe all ours got intercepted by a certain person and he's still figuring out how to reseal them...

Tony, I am curious as if you saw any increase in traffic to your shop in conjuntion with this promotion and, if so, how much?

Snorto~

TonyC · April 21, 2008 9:02PM

I didn` see any increase in traffiic on that day. Most people had no idea it was National Card Trading Day.
