Sorry, the 'B' variation is the airbrushed version which is the most common. In fact, it's so common, PSA 9s sell for under $20 and 8's will be lucky to sell for enough to cover the grading fee.

No salt rubbage...This is easily in my top 10 of collecting things. I think the whole premise is genius, I love typing in the code and seeing what I get. And to be accurate I've actually got 269 cards redeemed, 5 more if you count the dups! And I have 100 more on the way.
me too, even knowing that saturday and yesterday they were stuck on the 70s, I couldn't help but enter my codes in. I did get a 58 during that run but most were 65, 66, 71-76.
At one point I noticed some 63s getting redeemed so I jumped in that line and got 63 Pirates team card.
Jonesing for more right now but I think my Heritage shipment will help get my mind off of these
I've been having a great time cracking Target cereal and blaster boxes, and making my money back (and then some) selling the patch, gold chrome, and CYMTO "original back" cards. Not only have I made a profit, I've also been able to keep all of my TM code cards and base/insert cards. The "and then some" part came from me selling a Pie Variation for over $70.
I've been sticking with the cereal boxes for the last several days. I love the 1:1 TM card, and the GC cards sell really well right now. Nothing like the Platinum Chrome. This will be short lived, but I struck when the iron was hot. I was one of the first sellers to list the GC cards on ebay, and some of them sold for well over $9.99 (the cost of the cereal box).
<< <i>What is the best price with Shipping everyone has seen for a Jumbo box? >>

I sure hope I do not hurt anyone's feelings but Imho The stuff people have been redeeming on here would not be worth shipping back for the going rates.
Probably the outcome of the grades of the 1950's - 1960's cards are going to be Vg/ex to ex/mt. With commons going for 50 cents to a dollar . Is it worth the time and effort of shipping? Feedback from other board members on this issue please...
Edited to add I sure hope Topps is sending New Toploaders and penny sleeves with the cards! Ryan
I suspect you're right, but here's a proposal for the board:
I, for example, am working on mid-grade 1965 set as a back-burner project. I also am toying with the idea of doing the same for 1973 - the last year I really collected as a kid. For me, a lot of 65's that others don't want to redeem would probably fit quite well in my set and would be worth the $.53 to get. Once you get past the 1st card, I think $.53 a card to fill a mid-grade vintage set is pretty reasonable.
So, I'd like to ask anyone not planning on redeeming a 65 to PM me. Assuming the cards come in Ex or better, I'd be happy to beg them off you.

I just spend over $140 on retail packs from Wal-Mart in search of that stupid Melvin Mora card, to no avail. Never mind the $65 I spent at Target. I'm done ripping this stuff for now! I'll be buying redemption lots and completing my Topps Town set on-line(lol, got to have fun sometime).

There's a small piece of me that wonders/hopes if Topps has somehow decided to both pass out the star power very slowly and to target those items to smaller players instead of the big fish that redeem 100's of items. I can imagine them wanting most of the star cards landing in the hands of "the little guys" instead of dealers.

we will either see a peak, or more likely a crash in these redemptions once the cards start getting shipped. Iam certain most redeemers have no idea what it costs to ship the cards, and after March 15th we will see the quality of the cards...
seems to be a bunch of 79-80 cards poppin..I dont like where this is headed
ANYONE use their toppstown or topps attax cards? WTH do they do?
This is ridiculous. I purchased a case of jumbo Topps and pulled 60 redemption cards. I opened 5 boxes and did the redemptions on February 16. Got a variety of cards but a larger group of 2005 and 1987 cards (12 out of 50).
Today I opened my last box and just redeemed the last 10 cards, 2 from 1979 and 8 from 1980. Pretty obvious to me that the numbers on the cards are NOT directly linked to a specific card. From reading the earlier threads, I wish I had redeemed these on the 1973/1975 day.
From the looks of things, I redeemed all mine at just the right time. I entered 50 in on Saturday afternoon and all were in the 59-75 range with the majority being 60's. Looks like all of the redemptions have gone downhill since then. I've got another 60 that I'm holding on to for when another run of 50's or 60's pos up.
Bought one jumbo pack today. Pulled a Jay Bruce auto, a Babe Ruth Tales of the Game, a David Ortiz "Jersey under Yankee Stadium" card and a couple of other inserts. And then I redeemed my Million Card Giveaway card. I'm willing to trade but come hard with the offers because it will take something awesome to pry this out of my hands. Read 'em and weep boys!

Pretty obvious to me that the numbers on the cards are NOT directly linked to a specific card.
Perhaps. But I'm not entirely sure. I redeemed a half dozen last week when the 80's, 90's, and 2000's were showing up, and of course, I pulled mostly these, except for one "oddball" card which was a late 60's HOFer. Also, somebody mentioned here earlier that when everyone was pulling mostly 73's and 75's, a '56 Mantle showed up. Therefore, it might be that in most cases, the codes are not linked to a specific card like you say, but that for the expensive star and rookie cards, there somehow is a link. Perhaps a "star" code opens a pre-determined star card, or the code causes a star card to be randomly chosen from a pool of the more expensive cards. I'm just guessing based on a very small population size, but it would explain why every now and then a more expensive older card appears out of the blue.

Perhaps. But I'm not entirely sure. I redeemed a half dozen last week when the 80's, 90's, and 2000's were showing up, and of course, I pulled mostly these, except for one "oddball" card which was a late 60's HOFer. Also, somebody mentioned here earlier that when everyone was pulling mostly 73's and 75's, a '56 Mantle showed up. Therefore, it might be that in most cases, the codes are not linked to a specific card like you say, but that for the expensive star and rookie cards, there somehow is a link. Perhaps a "star" code opens a pre-determined star card, or the code causes a star card to be randomly chosen from a pool of the more expensive cards. I'm just guessing based on a very small population size, but it would explain why every now and then a more expensive older card appears out of the blue.
