If you can, find out from him what are the Rare ones ? It will save all of us a lot of time
Thanks in advance

Anyone else disgusted by the fact that out of 250 codes he only got 4 cards and no 'complete' coin sets????

Disgusted that he only got 4 cards out of 250 codes... Yes!
Disgusted that out of 250 codes he got no "complete" coin sets... No, not at all!
You could enter thousands upon thousands of codes and get no complete coin sets... that's normal. In the last football promotion, and I don't believe this was ever confirmed, but it was roughly 1:20,000 to get the "tough" virtual item to complete a set.
In the football, seemed the cards ran 1:10. With this promotion, my first 30 codes yielded 3 cards... so I was thinking, "yeah, this is about the same". Thinking that, I figured I didn't really like the football promo, and I won't dump several hundreds (if not 1K plus) on this one, but I'll limit myself to 100 code entries. So last night I bought 60 codes on eBay for $100... entered them this evening... 2 cards
At this point, not even sure if I'll bother buying the last 10 codes to put me at 100. Too much of a crapshoot at $1.50-2.00 a code... not at all worth the chance, gamble, effort, etc.
I believe Verlander is the rare coin in the Current Players list and Ruth is the rare coin in the HOF players list. I don't know which one is the rare team coin because I made my list by listing all 30 teams, not looking at which ones I could trade for when the site went live, which is the logic behind me thinking the rare ones are Verlander and Ruth. There were only 29 of the HOF and current players unlocked yesterday evening. The two missing were Verlander and Ruth.
Going through my trades it seems like everyone wants the Yankees coin and not one is offered. But I don't think that's the SP 1) because I pulled it and 2) I never win anything. If it was my guess it would be the Cardinals. They are the defending WS Champs...ugghh that's still painful to say. And it follows suit with Verlander being the other rare coin (CY and MVP). Just my 2 cents on the Team Coin.
Of the 2 cards I pulled I already flipped my Mariano Rivera for a Nelson Cruz. I have a Sandy Koufax. There appear to be 5 Rangers (Ryan, Napoli, Kinsler, Hamilton, and Cruz). I would really like to trade the Koufax for a Ryan, but would entertain trading it for one of the other Rangers I need.

<< <i> know the Cardinals are the rare team. And pretty sure Babe Ruth is the rare HOF. And I think its Justin Verlander for the rare player. Not really sure but I think its right. >>
This is what he sent me
2 Coins (Sabathia and Teixeira)
1 Card ( Jon Lester)
3 team coins.. Cubs, Dodgers, D-Backs
1 player coin.. Nelson Cruz
1 HOF coin... Ty Cobb
1 Die Cut base card... Mickey Mantle
Can't complain.
Only took 16 codes entered! I guess thats above average.
Anyone else have any luck lately?
