Topps Diamond Giveaway Trapped In Time

Just a quickie post to vent some frustration - I got a jumbo box of Topps Update as a birthday gift, plus I had recently bought a few packs myself, so I was sitting on about 14 code cards while waiting for the Topps Diamond Giveaway site to finally start working again.  Once the site was back up I entered 3-4 codes, and every single one of my cards was from the 1973 Topps set. I waited a few hours and entered two more - 1973 Topps again!  I waited several more hours and entered another code - STILL 1973 Topps!! I've been watching the "Recently Redeemed Cards" list on the right side of the page ever since, and every single card that pops up is 1973 Topps.  WTF?!?!?

  1. It happened to me to. Which is good because I'm actually working on that set. Of course, it would be cool to pull a different year vintage, but you could also pull a bunch of 2007 cards like me. I'd be happy with a bunch of 1973 cards though. haha. Kind of a weird quirk in the system though.

  2. I noticed that too! Glad i didn't have any codes to redeem. Seems like a glitch.

  3. I feel your pain. Ditto here. At least I pulled a 59er also. God knows what shape it'll be in, tho!

  4. I like '73s so I'd probably be happy with those.
