    If the person who offered me the 62 Hook and the 70 Dalrymple for the 58 Jim Grant reads this board; please send offer again; I tried to accept your offer but the system failed me.

    Update; Despite the error message; the trade went through -- but it would have been nice NOT to see the error message, Zep check again; your trade may have gone through -0- but that error message sucked


    Thanks!
    Rich

    Note to BKing:

    See my problem; and that was a trade I TRIED to accept. Darn system

    Actually Ted, I'm taking delivery on them--just trying to move a handful of cards before delivery. I made a lopsided trade for one of the autos to get the free shipping, so now I'm just looking to weed out the four or five cards I could live without.

    1955 #66 Ron Jackson
    1959 #475 Jack Harshman
    1970 #323 Wayne Comer
    1971 #479 Dennis Higgins

    Would really like a '61 high number if possible

    After being disappointed by the topps contests (they totally ignored the first professional baseball team). I just traded the last of the cards I had that weren't in line with what I wanted delivered to me. Was fun while it lasted!

    Having not received the cards which I ordered and paid for three weeks ago (March 17) , I called Topps Customer Service this afternoon. The man I spoke with told me that Topps was "experiencing trouble" delivering some of the orders. All I needed to do was wait "a few more weeks"; if the cards didn't arrive by then, I could call back. When I asked what would happen then, he had no answer.
    Just wondering how many of you here had received your orders.

    The prices for unredeemed cards are outrageous now. A lot of 30 just sold on ebay for $183. $6.00 apiece? Really? Before the website went active I bought a lot of 10 for $12.00....

    Since I don't think anyone has shared how exactly their order was shipped from Topps yet, I'll go ahead and share mine.

    I "withdrew" 22 cards on 3/16/10 for a total of $14.05. They shipped via UPS in a 6x9 padded envelope. Each card was in a penny sleeve and inside a top loader, with the exception of the 1953 that was without the penny sleeve (due to size). The condition of the cards we what we pretty much have expected all along. Hit and miss, but mostly miss. They did screw up one card on my checklist. Instead of receiving my 1960 Billy Goodman, they gave me a 1976 #69 Hegan Father & Son card. Yeah... that sucked.

    Overall I'm very satisfied with my cards. Especially since I used my own redemption cards pulled from packs, and from trades. I never did buy redemptions on ebay (not that there is anything wrong with that), and I made more than my money back from the 2010 Topps Product. Anyway, here are the pics and scans:

    To add to my post above, in regards to the 1960 screw-up, the 1960 card was check-marked on the invoice as if it was added to my order. Not sure what I'm going to do about it, but I suppose I can contact them and see what they say.

    I have a 1970 Jake Gibbs card that I must have had close to 50 offers for since this program began. None of them have been of a card of the same year or older than the Gibbs so I've turned them all down. Was wondering why this card is so popular and was thinking maybe I had the only one or something. I just checked and there are 9 of them.

    So I just offered my Jake Gibbs card up for the same card. Wonder if it'll get accepted image

    It's a Yankee, it's low pop graded, and its a semi-high number. Other than that....

    In fact, there are almost as many in the Topps Million card population as there are 9's & 10's in the Pop Report.

    I'd say the 63s might be the best cards, but the colored bottoms can really show the wear/chipping. Centering is what really killed me with these cards. The Frank Shea and Billy Martin have really bad rubber ban marks. It seems like these really ARE my Dad's Cards that his Mom Threw Out.

    Must have been a good day for 54's as I picked up an Angel Scull today and I swear within 15 minutes there was a trade offer (easy to turn down as nothing good in the one I saw) for that card.
